Hospital corners
Dan Hughes has a bunch of shots of the new Dreamland addition to the Bellingham skatepark. It’s an addition to the old park, so I suggested that Dan do a color overlay to show the old part vs the new. He sent the above image of the old section.
The new stuff is the bowl on the right (top photo) and the ditch on the left (hence all the construction shots of same). The old stuff isn’t that old, it’s just CRAP! Kinked like you wouldn’t believe, dead ends and rough. However, kids in Bellingham Rip like noone’s business.
The new stuff is Dreamland smooth and lots of nice flowing lines.
I like that bowl better than Glenhaven, but not better than Pier.
Reminds me of this but worse if possible, look at that kinked transition!
yep, the old stuff is crap. but there are some definite flaws with the new stuff as well. grindline and dreamland made a killing though–and heaven forbid anyone speaks out against them.
grindline builds parks with some really questionable practices sometimes. just because the label says grindline, doesn’t gaurantee it’s a quality job.
Surely nothing as bad as what we see above!?
I’m absolutely drooling at the ditch. Looks so much fun. Which one of PDX’s 19 is going to feature something like that?
looks cool.
That ditch looks fun.
