Skateblast III, Apachelypse Now
3/30/2008
The annual Skateblast weekend started on Thursday night with a session at Goodyear skatepark. Brian and Carter from JFA were mixing it up with the old homies in the big peanut bowl. Chris Farrell, Chris Kelly, Shamrock, Bucky, Pat McG, Dan McCabe and Bobby were all in there. The way these dudes skate that bowl make me proud to be a part of the AZ skate scene.Friday morning we hit the X-court in Glendale. Rob Locker and Wrex Cook added to the mix. If you want to know how to do a line at the X-court just bring Wrex for a demo. He boosted frontside airs and ollies out of the oververt all day long. Brian was grinding it backside after just a few runs.Wrex Cook: Brian Brannon: We headed over to the McDowell Mountain Ranch park for the afternoon session. Rob and Pat McG skated like they installed some fresh legs after lunch.The JFA show in Tempe was packed that night; an all-ager rager. As usual the old heads came out for the old home town band.The Skateblast contest on Saturday was bigger than ever. Even still, it retained it's feel of a session with friends more than a contest. Plenty of swag is awarded and tossed to keep the kids stoked. Apache Skateboards has to be commended for creating and nurturing an incredible level of skate culture that can't be contained by artificial geographic and cultural boundaries. True and real is the deal. After the contest a huge car caravan headed over to the Apache Skateboards world headquarters for frybread tacos and punk rock. The bands all played killer shows but I have give a special mention to The Sirens from L.A. who's diverse sound really stood out.The Tics had fun saying that "Phoenix sucks" but the joke is on them. Um, who has 16 skateparks and countless pools to skate? Sorry Old Pueblo, it ain't you.By the time JFA took the stage the front yard in front of the stage had been circle pitted into a monster dust devil. They raged through another set while everyone got covered in dust. Lilly, the daugher of bass player Corey, took over the bass for dad on Beach Blanket Bong-out and killed it.JFA with Lilly on bass: Sadly this old man got too tired and cold at 12:30 am and couldn't make it to see Agent Orange although I did get a change to catch up with Mike Palm.The last picture I took of the night is of the crowd during the JFA set. Pat McG is front and center. This pretty much summed up the whole weekend. Hell yeah!

It's Time to Re-Think Skatepark Design
11/13/2007
 They start as dreams. Then, they find form as drawings and computer graphics. They are discussed, debated, measured and refined. The cost is estimated and the budgets approved. The contracts are signed and the builders begin. Soon enough, the concrete dries and the skatepark is in place. But what starts as a dream too often ends as something less, something with potential that can't really be tapped. Too often you face the reality that your skatepark looks great on paper but is a nightmare to skate. Sure, it's smooth and built to specification but it's still a nightmare. Every time you visit the park you find that it just doesn't work when it's filled with skaters; and it is ALWAYS filled with skaters.Skateparks are popping up all over and they mostly seem to take the same basic form; some street obstacles, a flow area and maybe a pool or bowl. Some skateparks are all flow area, most notably some of the parks designed and built by Dreamland. Park design has moved towards more difficult terrain in the last 5 years. Parks now frequently feature tall vert or oververt areas. As the park features get bigger, speeds increase. Speed mixed with traffic equals danger. Big flow areas with tall walls create speed and blind spots. It is very difficult to navigate safely with skaters dropping in all over the place. It becomes a game of watching and waiting for the opportunity to skate your line. Large and tall flow areas under-utilize the available concrete. The Tempe, Arizona skatepark designed by SITE design Group is a good example of a flow area that limits use. At Tempe, hundreds of square feet of concrete can only be skated by one person at a time. Skaters wait at various spots around the area looking for a turn to drop in. It can take several minutes to get a run in, even with just a few skaters lined up. The Goodyear, AZ park (pictured above) has a massive flow area that covers nearly half of the park. This high-speed area can only be safely skated by one person at a time. I don't want to be seen as criticizing these excellent skatepark builders. The quality of their work is not in question. It's just my opinion that a new design philosophy can maximize the usability of the parks.A new approach to skatepark design would take constant high-volume use into account from the beginning. An area like the Tempe flow area could be divided up into 3 or 4 smaller skate features so that the number of simultaneous skaters could be increased. Each feature would be "sessionable" by a group of skaters. This design would look more like a lot of self-contained skate spots rather than a giant slab of concrete. Skaters can choose which feature to session based on how many other people are skating it. This self-regulation of traffic would spread traffic across all the features. There would be no more crash derby factor. The Goodyear park above could sliced the massive flow area into three or four big bowls that could be sessioned separately. An offshoot of this design philosophy would be to embed skate spots across a community rather than building one giant park. Each neighborhood park could have a unique feature to skate. Imagine that every city park has a different compact skate spot. One park would have a pure street plaza, another park would have a clover bowl and another an area with banks. Compact skatespots would negate the need for fences and security as fewer skaters would use the spot at any one time. Bigger is not always better.I hope skaters and builders will consider this new design philosophy and keep skatepark design progressing into the future.Labels: skatepark

JFA Wheels from Outlook Skates
10/27/2007
JFA has had many decks out over the years but it took them until 2007 to come out with their first wheel. I got a chance to test these big wheels out and they are smooth and fast park wheels. The shape is similar to the classic Bullet 66 but a bit narrower. At 66mm tall and 99A in durometer they are definitely a park wheel for someone who thinks speed is always your friend; the more the better. It's exactly what you would expect from JFA and will not disappoint. To get a set click on over to Outlook Skates.
