Havent posted a WIP lately, so what the hey. This is an actual park in the area skate at (only been there once, but hey...its a park, and the only one around). Plan to texture it after I model it. If you want to see what it actually looks like, head on over to Halfpipe Mikes and check it out. This is where Twisted broke is ankle.

sweet park. A couple friends an I might start our own company for indoor skateparks. We want more of a street feel for a park, instead of all these rollers and stuff like that. As for that park, it seems to have some pretty good lines to it. C & C.. i think u need to add the metal strip where the bottom on the ramps meet the floor.. the transition (not sure if that park has it, but it should). As for nem, suck to be him (unless he doesn't skate). Here in vancouver, we have skateparks 15 mins from eachother.. they are all over the place.. just got a new one in a couple days ago.. bit small though. Hybrid, if you ever wanna hook up and do some skate stuff together, id be more than happy too.

PS. Mabye add some picnic tables or portable rails to the park
