Didn’t ballard and SeaSk8 already exist…

Don’t worry Bobcat, they’ll probably tear down the new seask8 in a couple of years and have to rebuild another one.

Not sure why guys with their own world-famous skate blogs are spending time writing about red-headed abortions in Seattle on a thread about a proposed skatepark near Portland, and doing it on someone else’s blog, but NewLine just released the final renderings for the Seattle Center skatepark today and they’re pretty nifty. That’s right, I called them nifty. Sorry for not using more inflammatory words like cockboy or fag, but that’s never been my style. Pictures available here:

And good luck with the Gresham skatepark!

what a bunch of mama boy fags.tranny vs street. a skater, skates it all.wants it all in one park,thrasher style.if you dont have tranny with street u get another lame ass park. maybe somebody should mention to be creative when building rather than the same old shit like glenhaven.pillars,spining wheels, step up banks and shit people don’t skate on the street.try somthing new.

I’m confused, Ryan. Are you suggesting roller skating in circles?

since you like to drop names, care to elaborate why Newline would put this BS on this site then turn around 110% and do the opposite? Newline, you there? I know you are.

From Newlines site again:

"Our task will be to blend the goals and dreams of Seattle skaters, with current campus function and neighbourhood context."

From their Architects:

“[i]Originally posted by nlskate[/i] [br] This is a very funny discussion….We explored the idea of a bowl and came to the conclusion it doesn’t work for this project.”

“[i]Originally posted by nlskate[/i]

Anyway, I hate to be the bad guy here but the bottom line is there is not going to be a seperate bowl at this park. If you guys are coming to the meeting tomorrow hoping to see or hoping we will continue to entertain the idea you will likley be disappointed. I don’t believe we need to explain ourselves or prove anything because this is something some of you will clearly never understand."

because they promised they would listen to us, then covered their ears and told us that they weren't. read the replys that newline posted. if you don't they do that to you, you got another thing comin'

Now we are stuck with a half million dollar red headed abortion here. Seask8 was supposed to be a REPLACEMENT to the demolished one.

As for Newlines Winnepeg project? Could of been a fluke could of not. Dreamland can't build Newbergs everywhere and Grindline can't build Orcas Island masterpieces just as well. A skatepark (especially a replacement while others are building skateparks Seattle has demolished two) needs to reflect the needs of their local crowd - for every person who voices an opinion of a bowl theres at least 100 silent skaters who also refect his opinion. It's a democracy, not a totalitarian regime.

Bottom line is, Newline is lower on the list of Skatepark vultures than Purkiss-Ross and anything modular in my eyes right now.
