| Man that marble stair bit on the left looks killer. I think its awesome but some parts are too small and fidgety to perform lines and stuff on |

| Looks cool, but some of it looks badly placed and hard to 'skate' properly. Dem handrails too O.o They'd be fun to bonk a few times but that's about it.
The concept is cool though, it just needs to be bigger and more spread out though I think. |

| Looks okay but wouldn't buy one even if it was £50, looks too squashed together. I'd rather make another one for much cheaper! |

| Looks like a great idea but its to cluttered along with the rails being to stubby and there being no room to skate its not worth $50 in my opinion! |

| It looks awkwardly small. It looks like it was nicely made but you could go to your local hardware store and make that for around $100. |

| Looks like good craftsmanship, probably took quite a few hours to complete but I would have spent much more time on the design part of the park. The banks look like they would be in the way of your wrists. Even the ledges, a ledge would be in your way if you wanted to sesh the inside of one ledge. It looks good as a model, just a display piece I couldn't see it being something I'd sesh for hours.
If this was an actual skate plaza, full size, it would be really awesome, but because of the way you would have to position your wrists so you're not hitting anything would take away from it. Very nice though. |

| Normally when I consider building a skatepark I choose the outer obstacles to be at a higher elevation compared to the inner obstacles. When I mean outer and inner I mean measuring the distance from the edge of the beginning of the park itself.
I do this because unlike skateboarding, when you can free roam in fingerboarding your hand is attached to your wrist and so you can't necessarily build a fingerboard park the same way you build a real skatepark.
In their park the inner portion goes downward and is at a lower elevation. I think it can make fingerboarding down there feel awkward.
By the way it looks like they cut a kitchen drawer handle in two and stuck it in there as rails. Also those rails are like 2 in long....... not nearly long enough for enjoyable grinds.
It might have been better if they seriously cut the whole thing in half so that when you actually do something on that stair ledge the other stair ledge (black ledge) doesnt get in the way.
The whole thing to be just seems awkward and the 450 price tag doesn't help.
However, if I got the chance to skate on one I would totally try it out. |
