6-8ft that’s fucking massive. Like
Honestly how many people are skating that compared to a good block?

It’s just what you’re used to. I grew up skating big ramps so 6-8ft feels mellow to me. But I struggle to do anything even half decent on a block or ledge.
I think skateparks would be fucking amazing if they just gave you a flat price of concrete with nothing on it and let you build whatever you want on it.
As long as it’s not round the back of the leisure centre on your estate or whatever so you can get away from all the Sur-ron riding balaclava pricks and the parents and babysitters with ten kids on pink plastic bikes and can have your own space to skate with friends.

Interesting. We’re doing the same thing at my indoor right now. Luckily I’ve got full control over how we go about designing it so so far it’s just me and a mate working on it. We’re going to wait till we’re mostly happy with it ourselves before getting input from others. I can only see opening up to a wider audience just causing headaches as you’re experiencing
Yeah it can be quite challenging and very frustrating.
I probably made it sound worse than it is because I did manage to get a whole part of the park 90% how I wanted it, and guess what? That’s the bit everybody skates now. I hardly ever see anyone skating the other part of the street course with bigger obstacles the kids (and older farts in the committee that also never really go or went anywhere else) designed. 
The worst thing about the whole situation is that most of those kids don’t even skate that much, they’re just happy to be part of the committee so they have the keys of the park and can go drink and smoke weed there as they certainly can’t do that at home living with their parents.
We are working on the transition section now, we don’t have a miniramp and they want a fucking massive bowl with spines and hips and shit. Damn.
