When this plaza comes back in stock I'm going to do this. That'd be a cool thing to do but I have to disagree with you about it being the same quality of BRR. By looking at the picture you can see that the wood has knots in it and that everything isn't flush. The overall quality of it isn't bad it's just that it's not something that your average person couldn't make. Usually the point of buying something is because you can't make it yourself or make it for a lower price. A few people already pointed out that this could be a simple diy project. |

Other than that I'd buy one. It's almost as good as black-river. Are you joking ? It looks like it was made by any kid in his dads workshop. The wood is ugly, it looks like the kind of thing people make at home out of scraps. Let's take 2 plazas Tell me, why is the wood not flush with the first step ? Because it hasn't been made properly, and the height of the 2 pieces of scrap wood aren't high enough to make it flush, in other words the box has been made too big, measured incorrectly. Sounds like something a skilled craftsman would do. Secondly, why does the coping look like it's been hammered ? Who would want that ? I hear skilled craftsmen often bash things with hammers when they don't fit. Let's take the BRR pornstorm plaza. See how the whole presentation screams quality ? How everything is straight and true, things are flush and square. It's not been built out of bits of solid wood that were used because it was easy, steps have been cut in pieces and fixed together. The detail is there, the wood is really nice, and looks to scale, as does the woodgrain. You are being very very biased, anyone can see that one of these two plazas is far far superior to the other. Just because you know the maker of this plaza thing, doesn't meant you have to blatantly lie to defend him. I really don't understand some people. |

| Well actually his other fingerboard park was much better. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0rvRFWrnb-AThose tiles are actually super smooth and does not interfere with your tricks. We are from the same state so I got a chance to skate both of them. |

| I looked at it on the website, and it looked like something I made with a bunch of textbooks when I used to use Tech Decks. It was one of the worst, not the best. I wouldn't buy it. |

| So I've now read all of the posts here talking about this plaza.
Since I personally know Bobby, I'm going to ask him if he used a hammer or not on the metal coping so I can get this cleared up for you guys.
Peace. |

Price is $50.00, that's what he told me he was selling them for.
I'm sorry but the amount of labor/time put into that is not $50 quality. I hate to be so negative but honestly how did he come up with $50? |
