The local skatepark just turned a year old. As if that wasn’t cool enough, it got a gift… or rather WE got a gift. There’s a 16′ steel wave that was added to the park just about a month ago. Here it is:
The surface is becoming art. The swirls and whorls from countless turns are beautiful, plus, the park enthusiasts are trying to slap stickers as high up the wave as possible as they ride. Normally, I’m not so fond of putting stickers on the nice new skatepark, but when they’re that far over your head, it’s sort of impressive to see ’em there. No Hubris stickers yet.
it looks pretty cool especally up close. i tried to ride it once too. it didn’t turn out so well. I was doing a manuel on the way back down, and my board decided it didn’t want me on it anymore so it zoomed away, and i took a fall I hurt my wrist to the point it hurt when i moved it. the hot shots made it look so easy. i’m looking forward to getting back on it
I should point out, too, that I’ve inspected the other sides of the thing now, and not all the cool swirls and whorls are from turns and tires. The surface has been worked with a sander or polisher to get a lot of those. It looks cool all the way around!
