Whats the condition of yours? Mine is over-run with soccer moms sitting on shit, and little kids riding god knows what on everything. Just today I ran over two kids and almost tail tapped a girl to the head. Its god-awful packed to the brim with kids. The park etiquette needs to be slapped into the brains of these kids.

The average skate park.

When its sunny after school is always the worst, everyone seems to feel the need to sit on top of the qp's and smoke cigs. not too over run by scooter kids luckily, but i swear dreamland was trying to cause collisions when they designed our park. ive seen tons of skaters and scooters get taken out when someone isnt paying attention (more so than other parks)

Mines made in a tennis court. It's got a picnic bench a FDF and a kicker. I heard they're expanding since they built bigger and better courts across the road but so far nothing has been done in the 7 or 8 months since I heard that.

I was thinking about doing that. Did you take off the frames, or just the wheels, or just leaved it as is?

The park we've got is pretty good for our small town. They finished it in spring 2011 and I made this edit of the guys that are usually there on a daily basis

Amherst skatepark edit from Tyler MacDonald on Vimeo.

Took about a year break from the skating scene though and started going to the park again last week. Filmed more today and everyone has gotten so much better.

There's a skatepark like 10 minutes from my house, but I never go there. From my experience there are always 14 year olds smoking cigarettes outside, and inside are a bunch of greasy skinny jeans wearing skaters. I never really got vert, or bowl skating. I prefer to just go street skating.

well i mean the area itself is, but if you can skate/bike comfortably at a park its not much different. built by skaters for skaters so they had a relative idea what they were doing.

My skatepark is pretty small but you can get some good lines. They let some people with permission do some pretty descent graffiti on it while other people come by at night and spray paint penises and "fuck yolo" all over it. Then the city paints over everything and makes the places that they paint over all slippery. But overall it's pretty good quality.

Pretty small, only about 8 features. Always sand everywhere, if there's 10+ people it's too busy. But close to my house so I don't mind.

My local park blows, the whole park is spaced out wrong so using the quarterpipes to drop in for features is futile, you either run straight into a feature or lose all your momentum due to having to take sharp turns. Fortunately there's a park 20 minutes from my that's pretty sick though unfortunately it's only skatelite features

I went again. There are some new species of animal I have observed.

The Swag Crew:

Decked out in dat #OBEY #SUPREME
Walking around with there emo bitches left and right
Sits on all features with vans shoes and a brand new set up
Can't ollie or do shit.
Snakes everyone and acts like they are shit.

What Happened here?:

The people who dye there hair the colors of the stuff that comes when I drop off the Cosby Kids at the pool; if you know what I mean.
Sits on even more features and snakes even more.
Super skinny jeans and super skinny amount of masculinity.

Scoot Sector:

Takes up a side of the skatepark
You'll get tailwhipped up the ass.
