Looks like shit to me, such a waste of space, and after looking at the construction in person it has become clear to me that only 1% of the Australian skateboarding population will be able to skate that pool. Hmmmm, another Balmoral, rad............
"Speaking on behalf of that 1% I reckon it looks like fun.."
So did I until I saw how small it is, being 4foot with a foot of vert in the shallow end with a step and six with a foot of vert and a deathbox in the deep, it just looks too tight to be fun.
the bowl looks sick, but damn, i was really looking forward to a bit more in the 'street' section. could have been alot more interesting and it basically reminds me alot of balmoral, which also could have been more than a few flat banks and a down rail here and there. oh well atleast theres a pool with real coping, all the other stuff it just a bonus really.
the pool wont just be another balmoral, it'll be quite a bit gnarlier, with actual vert!
Another waste of money, if your going to build something gnar. at least have enough transition to skate. 4ft with a 3ft transition is just stupid. if your trying to replicate a pool at least make it a skateable pool.
yeah its as if theyre trying to replicate an australian backyard pool or something. preying its not a case of carve grinds and then none
"learn to skateboard you fuckin pussies!"
Yea I might be able to if people didnt keep building shit skateparks in my area, Avalon, Mona Vale, Balmoral, forestville, Manly - awsome.
