Ramp Skating - Not quite the same as 'SkateBoarding'

[GrassDiver]

I started on Longboards, but hit a few outdoor skateparks this Summer. I still longboard, but I am currently addicted to the sensation of pumping transitions. I know the public concrete skateparks can be loaded with groms and haters all flippin their boards, but have you ever tried an indoor skatepark built with massonite?

Get a wide, old skool, pool deck on some wide trucks and hit a local indoor park. Its fast, scarey, and freakin smooth. You ain't gotta flip it to have a good time. These type parks are typically jammed full of ramps and are quite different from the concrete skateparks, there are fresh lines in every direction, and the copings are typically much more reachable (3-6 ft high, vs 10ft bowls in concrete skatepark). Oh yeah, and you can skate while its raining outside. I love longboarding because of the smoothness, I believe this is why I like these massonite parks so much as well.

You'll come around and start loving concrete soon enough. Those big concrete bowls consistently blow the pants off masonite constructions for speed, lines, and smoothness.

I'm lucky, I have a few really nice bowls near me, both indoor (w/pool coping oh ja!) and outdoor concrete.

once you start getting better youll start to love concrete pools/parks a lot more. Theyre usually setup better to pump around than indoor parks are.
