.... okay so the title may not be fair....
but this is an example of a government funded 'dirt jump park' that depresses me. straight lines. reminds me of hallways at work, desks at school...... for goddsake if a gov't is gonna get involved they need to realise that freedom of design is the essence. provide dirt and a spot.... designate a core group of rider-leaders and let them build from there and change it whenever they want to. no pre-fab dirt parks.
to be clear . . . i'm not hating on an enterprising rider/designer building *something* for people to ride.... just trying to encourage more creativity and rider input. i have no background on this specific spot or the designer, just my first impression from looking at it.
