Cmoac I bumped into Harry a couple of weeks ago in the tiny village I work in near East Midlands Airport.

Mine too, behind a bar in The Angel in Nottingham mired in deep depression and wearing a Document shirt.

Hello. There’s going to be a new park near me and they have a survey for what people want in it.
So that I don’t get 8ft deep bowls and random floor tits and jump boxes can you please beg them for a plaza style park?
In the open boxes earlier I’ve begged them to avoid having clover shaped bows, if there is a mini ramp to make it under 4 foot and as wide as possible with no roll ins or extensions, no spines, no jump boxes, no stairs bigger than a small 3, no huge down rails, no big steep hubbas, and no knee high and above ledges.
It’s going to be a Maverick park so found a few things they do and asked them not to do that here (like adding rails to the grinding edges of manual pads???).
If you can think of a good maverick design (or just good bits of a park) then add that in.
I just stressed having banks, hips, varying height ledges, nice gaps etc would make it easy to session day in day out and to avoid dead space that is expensive to put in (big steep bowls, big stairsets etc), take up a lot of room but look good on plans but don’t actually get touched 99.99% of the time in real life.
Thanks!

That hero stair set is wigging me out, along with the curved 1/4s that just end.
Maverick for you though!
I know. Looks like loads of fun to skate every day doesn’t it.
This is the thing I want to get across to them… When you first look at these parks they look pretty nice but it’s like they don’t consider how people are ever actually going to use the space.
Why have they lumped that rail on that manny edge? It looks like something has gone wrong.
Best Example.
Dude at Maverick was glazing the shit out of himself for building a channel gap. We were like, who the fuck is gonna skate it? Plus you have to snake through the whole park and land in a warzone of cross over lines.
He tried to cool guy us and be like it’s eazy, it’s skateboarding 101.
Stopped the whole park, point exactly. Made an announcement he was going for the channel gap and ate complete horse shit. Dude was pretty much in tears.
Well done mate, not only did you prove us right, you looked like a bell and you ate complete shit.
They wouldn’t have half the parks if they didn’t give out backhanders, allegedly.
