PITOFZOMBIES Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 well, i don't want to even begin paraphrasing him, but he had a lot to say about the physical construction of boards and how to optimize performance with proper fitment and whatnot. I asked him about some of the seemingly gimmicky 'technology' that companies we using... I.E. Element's "helium" boards, and he actually showed us examples of the benefit. a lot of insight that made me begin to over-think stuff. basically, the practice of proper fitment that a lot of other sports obsess over is relevant to skateboarding too... not that this is exactly news, but i know a lot of us skateboarders are too stubborn to begin to acknowledge that side of things. basically, dude is THE skateboard engineer. i'm stoked to have gotten to kick it around him for a bit, and the bowl session was fuckin' fun. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even though I'm sick to death of grinding angle iron, I gotta wonder how long those marble benches are gonna last after the BMX dudes get a hold of them.

PITOFZOMBIES Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 That's te best street plaza you've been to? never said it was the best, but it's fun. i've skated Stoner in LA... pretty fun but i actually like this one a bit better. i'm coming back from something of a much-needed hiatus right now, so just rolling around is enough to make me more than content. and to DAO, yeah, the spot is pretty on point. i'm not sure how long it has been open, more than a year for sure, i think closer to three. saw a couple BMXers there a few days ago, but they were dicking around in the half pipe area. the marble ledges are flawless at this point and i honestly don't think i've seen more than a few people including myself even skate them. weird, but whatever, i'll take it. my only complaint about the plaza is that it could be spread out a little more. there's a massive field that it borders that is unused from what i can see... wouldn't have killed them to make it another 10-15 feet wider...

12packprophet Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 S.A. has some good parks popping up lately. They're all kinda on the small side, but at least there's a lot of them and each one is different from the rest. Best park I've ever skated though is House park in Austin. (Mute this idiot. Only posting this because it gives a good view of the whole park.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
