Work has begun on the "modular" Ballypheane skatepark,so far the concrete surface has been laid,only found out today as I drove past the site,it looks smaller than the Lucan one.I'll visit the site and try and get more info...who won the tender (hopefully not rhino) and estimated day of completition.:cool:

Theres a lot worse out there than Rhino, Eibe for instance the crowd who made the waterford ramps. Most if not all modular companies are cack, basically cos if they did know what they were doing they'd be building in concrete.There's one or two companies doing more interesting modular ramps and there is such a thing as concrete modular:-precast concrete ramps.Not as good as proper crete but usually better than skatelite furniture.

Get Freestyle or Gravity, both from the UK, on the case. They both have proven records and concrete is far and away better than any rubbish picked out of a catalogue a la Argos. Rhino are terrible, end of story.
