Building your own spot, diy or skateparks with movable objects i.e. kickers and curbs.

I used to visit a local indoor that had a whole area of good flat with movable objects (pieces of plywood, rails, construction leftovers. Next to that area they had a perfectly finished wooden park that I hardly even looked at

NOT SURE WHERE TO TAKE THIS OR IF THIS PAGE IS THE RIGHT VESSEL BUT INTERESTING EXPERIMENT I HOPE

random thoughts

building skateparks -> getting kicked out of spots

skateparks as training facilites, not for "the streets" but for competing i.e. SLS

Very little ''Street competions'' never capture spontanity of the act of street skating

Best video part awards are maybe more representative but hardly relevant,

judging usually by polling or 'professional' jury

either way hardly any insight into decision making process

videopart reviews?
