Next time he asks for Patreon suggestions I will ask.
What spots would we be comparing this against?
Good question
I can’t remember where it came from but years ago someone went and measured the major US spots and made a helpful graphic comparing them. Think it had wallenberg, rincon, University of arizona (?) etc etc
Would be good if it was an open project and others could add to it
Does anyone remember what I’m talking about?
Edit - found it

Fuck it I’ll do it. No one else will give me a job currently, so might as well make myself busy.
Cover costs I’ll measure the lot.

@neddy I feel you should make this into a proper show. Narrate your journey. Meet some weirdos. Do it in a Hunter Thompson gonzo style
“fear and loathing in Bristol” etc etc

Fastlands double still going. Manzoori Ollie hasnt been topped when it comes to hucking. Pretty sure Marcus Palmer came close to a kickflip down them at a street jam there last summer.
Rails on it got 50-50’d by Kevin Baekeel last year, and Dollin tried to boardslide it yonks back.

Nottingham has a couple of big old sets as well doesn’t it? One near a canoeing club or something?
