McNally St. Skate Dot

 McNally St. Skate Dot

Georgetown

Before I begin, I have heard that remediations should be made this coming spring.

Georgetown has a good action sports network and planned 2 small spots with this 'skate feature' being built first.

BUT...

there are some issues.

It looks like a nice little 'A' frame hubba with a cow catcher front. It's hard to get a sense of its size from photos.  The run up on both sides is just over 23ft.  The feature itself is 13ft long.

Why do skatepark need Advocates?

The concept did not have the hubba offset into the grass.  This makes this 'beginner' feature much more challenging.

Spott Check

I consider myself an Intermediate Skater and I found this feature very challenging. The exit to grass was a problem. I brought a small wedge ramp to land boardslides and popped out early on grinds to avoid hitting the edge.  The hubba is also 18 inches tall and one approach is uphill.  I feel like a 14 inch high ledge would have served this park better. 

The full addition isn't bad. It could be way better. 'Park' 571.  They can't all be as good as 570.

This is why I've launched a free Skatepark Consultation service.
