Such crap for how much it cost.
Making people rich!

Pretty thin margins of profit in the wide world of concrete-construction. I’m not sure I’d say “rich.” Maybe just “employed.”

I like it all. But I’m only 38.

It’s a good thing us old guys can drive…..

Sorry Chad, but you can’t really expect me to see past myself, can you?! I can’t actually skate bowls–or plazas–but I understand how important it is to my carefully crafted online-image to diss everything that doesn’t resemble 1985. After all, somebody my age is suppossed to love bowls, scary as they are for me.

there’s way more kids than there are of us, guys. Kids love this shit, which is the point.

Not my style park, some good shots of them pouring the banks, for the diy guys and I do like the metal work on the rails.

Who cares? Yawn. Boo. Oh well guess the days of transition filled skateparks is over. Can’t wait to never bother going there. I’m old. Suck it.

Eh, it’s not as lame as some of the “street plazas” I have seen. Looks like it would be fun for a bit. I love the kinda “Craftsman Support Beam” look of the flat rails!

Lame. Long Beach deserves better.

Spohn has been getting busy in S. Cal lately. There are a bunch of these popping up.
