    Bragging rights, just to say "I flipped down 12 stairs". You're right though, useless in a skatepark unless it's a 3up3down like the one in UCD or that church on the southside.



    You see that short stumpy ledge at the top tier just before the bank down? What about extending that down the bank, along the next flat to either stop at the top of the next bank or go down it so it's essentially a double/triple kink ledge? And wide enough to do manual tricks down it? It only needs to be 3-4 ft wide. Looking good so far.
    ah they wouldnt be useless if they buiilt a plaza or a big park to skate in . like finland

    There's no steps in that Helsinki plaza. Can you ollie up 12 stairs? Anything over 3 or 4 small steps becomes negative space as you can't get up them and it kills all flow. A bank of the same size means you can go up it, do stuff into it, out of it or over it to the flat. With a bunch of steps all you can do is tricks over/down it. Simple as. Large flights of steps in skateparks are utterly pointless...

    hey guys, has the greystones park been finished yet. I'm lookin forwrd to givin it a go and i'll be in the city tomorrow.

    I've been to the Gorey one and it's a bit smaller than i expected but a skatepark's better than none and Grant Masterson and The gorey skaters/boarders/bikers put a lot of work into it. Fair play to them.

    One in every town i say!!!
    M:D
