This is an interesting idea. I never really thought about how street spots are normally only populated by one or two different obstacles and skateparks are just a cluster of them often too close together.
I look forward to reading part 2 and seeing your suggestions.
Yeah it’s wild how much of a difference overpopulating a space with obstacles makes. You would think more obstacles would only make the park better. But in practice it seems like it starts to make the space worse pretty quickly.
Great article, as a beginner I prefer street spots to the skatepark as it’s just less congested and I feel less “in the way”. Look forward to the next parts.

Reminds me of the adage ‘less is more’

Thanks for the positive feedback Laura. I’ve been skating for a long time now and I still feel the same way and mostly for the same reasons as you.
