Who wouldn't want a place like this to skate in Minneapolis?! Let's get involved and make it happen! #samatarcrossing pic.twitter.com/OP9Eti4N8v
— Philip Schwartz (@PhilmrPhil) February 6, 2014@PhilmrPhil please don't let it be another "plaza", that parks great, but lacks flow with barely any transition.
— Davis Torgerson (@DavisTorgerson) February 6, 2014@DavisTorgerson Never skated there. The point was more that we can have anything we want if we do something about it. I'd like a plaza tho.
— Philip Schwartz (@PhilmrPhil) February 6, 2014@PhilmrPhil I know what you mean, but we should build something that we can't find anywhere else, not just a bunch of ledges and stairs.
— Davis Torgerson (@DavisTorgerson) February 6, 2014@DavisTorgerson Agreed. We could have a park that would be unique to Minneapolis and be instantly recognizable to out of towners.
— Philip Schwartz (@PhilmrPhil) February 6, 2014@PhilmrPhil exactly! otherwise we'll just have another "Cali plaza". think a unique park with obscure obstacles would create attention.
— Davis Torgerson (@DavisTorgerson) February 6, 2014@DavisTorgerson @PhilmrPhil I'm definitely getting involved! Lot's of flow, transition, and endless creative options.
— Aaron Christensen (@ACSL43R) February 6, 2014@ACSL43R @PhilmrPhil yeee! and we can still have our ledge and flatbar (circle ofcourse).

COOL!
ReplyDeleteStoner Plaza is not all that. Having said that Davis will most likely call me out because every time I go to LA that's where I ask him to meet me:)
ReplyDeleteYep, that's spot on.
ReplyDeleteI was thinking of opening my own skatepark, Ragsdalistan
ReplyDelete200,000 square feet
granite ground
Two ledges
One flatbar
Manual pad
Ragsdalistan sounds like it could be the best skatepark ever, though I would request adding a manhole cover and mattress to the mix.

except Ragsdalistan will most likely be in the middle of some sketchy middle east war zone…..
ReplyDelete^
ReplyDeleteThere's already a excellent plaza to skate about 1 mile to the west of this. It has ledges, stairs, manual pads, banks and handrails. It's called Downtown.
ReplyDeleteThough it is lacking a good flatbar...
It's not a fight worth fighting. You get more return for your efforts when you DIY!
ReplyDeleteb-show COMBO LEDGES EVERYWHERE is what this goddamn city NEEDS!
