Are skate plazas helping to facilitate skateboarding or eroding the very culture itself?
I just think I'm sick of street skating, and I need a major transition fix.
Twenty years of street is enough for me.
Gimme a twelve foot bowl any day, or even a four foot tall by eight foot wide mini.
every skatepark should have a mega-ramp...
no im just being stupid, but thing im wondering are folks going to be filming whole legitement video parts at skate plazas?
I think skate plazas could help to facilitate skateboarding, but no more than most of the skateparks we roll around today. Keyword is 'help', though. Skateboarding, in my eyes, can't and probably won't be facilitated...at least as long as I'm around.
They aren't helping much, but they aren't hurting a lot either.
If I had a skate plaza around, it'd be a nice meetup/ warmup spot, but beyond that i'd probably be out skating real spots.
I am hoping that if they end up blowing up, they start to put in banks and other stuff other than just ledges, stairs and rails.
It just seems kind of ironic to me. Kinda like using a pocket pussy in a whorehouse.

seem pretty useless to me.
take the meat bridge!
its good to the fact of saying we can skate a good spot and not get in trouble....but it is sort of killing the culture of STREET SKATING.
Plazas are missing the single most important element of street skating, the bust factor. The main thing about street skating that I don't miss is the lack of flow. That's why I started skating transition, gotta love the flow!
hooray for skate plazas, they give you someplace to hone in your street techy maneuvers for when you go to an actual street spot. you can hopefully get it fast cause you learned in on a simliar obstacle at the plaza. that way it may only take couple tries and it may be a spot that you only have 20 mintues before getting the boot from johnny law
