Not so super?
August 4th, 2008 by Kilwag
The LA Times reports that skaters and BMX riders alike are not too happy with ESPN’s Superpark course built by a BMX crew. The main complaints are “too small” and “tight transitions,” although you’d be hard pressed to tell by some of the photos. The Flying Tomato reminds us that this is the first year for the event, and next years will likely be better. Shaun White may be right, or he may just be more interested in making bad miniseries for HP computers. I seem to recall hearing that some of the early vert ramps in the X Games were kind of crappy too, but they eventually go that right. With more money on the line now, they’ll probably get right on that. Although the general public seems to only be interested in the Mega Ramp. [Photo: Los Angeles Times] - Thanks to Mac for the tip.

That thing did look fun though.
Re the early vert ramps; I happened to catch some segment yesterday that showcased Andy Mac at one of the first Xgaymes vert contests. The ramp looked tight, with about 8′ tranny, and had that clickity-clack modular sound to the top layer.
I noticed this year’s vert ramp had that clickity-clack sound too. Is it too much for them to layer it diagonally?
