Australian for “Skate Stopper”

From the forums at Skateboard.com.au comes these two different approaches to stopping skateboarding. The first one on the left is from Mother Nature who dumped a ton or two of sand on Bondi skatepark during recent storms. Bondi is a costal town, in case you haven’t guessed. On the right we have man made bureaucracy and the most elaborate skate stoppers I’ve ever seen. They don’t want kids grinding rails or even ollieing over them.

  1. Opening Day at Irrigon was just like that.

  2. Yeah, with people crowding the decks too…

  3. Skaters are going to just start ollieng over that gate, or using it in their line, it doesn’t look insurmountable…well maybe for me.

    oh, and as for that “stopper”, all I have to say is thread the needle!
