Nugget asked me to spread the word about this:
Woodbury, NJ Skate Park
Final Design Presentation
Saturday Dec. 30, 2006
10am Council Chambers
This place really does look good, even if it is the old design
UPDATE: check the next page for a photo addition!
i don’t mean to diss the park design, designers, or the process that was used to design the park in any way. — BUT — the silhouettes of the people walking through, or hanging out in the park need to be “shitted” on.
There’s one dude doing the classic finnegan photo pose, and then there’s brandon practicing his ballet dancing with mark lamboy. But no skating is shown.
That looks like Gonzo trying to molest a kid under the trees in the top right.
you know me….i’ve got all the candy for the kids.
On a side note it’s unbelieveable that bumble fuck new jersey is gonna probably end up with an awesome skatepark before Philly.
I’m so goddam overpriced, it’s ridiculous!
Hail the mother land for being opened minded.
We who have autos will skate there. Those who don’t can bum rides.
I see gonzo giving hand jobs to the elderly for 2 dollars in the under brush. Gonzo will not wash his hands after he is finished.
Those of us without cars will ACTUALLY skate the streets!
uh oh ,Here comes the tears.
People with cars can do both
sucker
Uh oh i can see the classic “skate the streets” arguement rearing it’s ugly head again.
Layaway is just sad he lost my friendship.
I ain’t losing sleep over it.
And you are right, people with cars CAN do both, but they don’t.
What arguement he is stuck downtown so he gets mad when others can drive to other spots
argument, not arguement
Haveboard,
Who says people with cars don’t do both? You know what happens when you assume.
Layawaste,
Why? Seriously.
Spellcheck,
I’m writing a comment on a skateboarding blog…not a Presidential acceptance speech. Piss off.
ONE LOVE. ya’ll don’t skate for more than an hour per session anyway.
quit crying. skateboarding is for the kids. not for the haters.
Damn, left out in the cold again.
Spell Check go fuck a dictionary since you love words so much
B, you KNOW I was refering to scamboy on that one.
I know you go skating the streets, AND you are a friend who will pick me up when the “Other Spots” call.
And Gonzo is correct with the “One Hour Session” comment.
I was also wondering how long it would take scamboy to start trolling the comments. Maybe he’ll hack into the site again and I’ll close shop like minnow.
Haters hate, no one appreciates, I just wanna skate.
HaveTears your steady stuck and always will be hating.
your situations got nothing to do with me daughter
havetears will hate
feel the Rhtym feel the ride
I love my friends.
I love my life. You can’t bring me down!
if you say my name enough I appear like candy man.
don’t say nufin won’t be nufin
BOO HOO
I am not appreciated
you got issues go by some tissues
lil girl
cacrini green mutha fuckas
you bring your self down princess
So, I redirected Layboy away from haveboard for a bit. I’m sure he’ll figure out a way around it, and the trolling will commence.
Layaway is not one to bum a ride from. If it isn’t convenient for him, he don’t give a fuck.
I’m not ‘starting shit’, but rather, speaking from experience. Some people don’t like to hear the truth.
I’m so inconvenient and painful.
I don’t understand why you hate on me so much cause I won’t pick you up from accros town to go to a spot 5 blocks from my house. your hate has to have a better reason. so why you so mad
I ain’t mad
Back on topic:
I see the dude with the classic finn pose, and he is doing it all wrong. You gotta put more shoulders into it.
If you wanna see more “renderings”…check out Shad Lambert dot com…”strike a pose.”
umm. guys? skatepark? why are you guys crying all over yourselves instead of just bitching about how this is a half assed version of the hypothetical philly skatepark which might actually get built while any of us can still bum a ride to go skate a damn thing! now come together like buttcheeks.
Ha ha ha ha ha!!!
So yeah, the rendering used some bad stock poses of people… I cant wait to meet some skaters who got into really understanding urban development and autocad… it will be a nice day.
Any one have a thought about the design of the park? This one is going to be cheaper and smaller then SRSP.
Or are we gonna spell check and car diss this blog away?
YOU are a very wise and Positive Mr Nugget.
All car dissin aside.
This is truely a positive park for our region. It will show that SRSP is realistic and can be successfull. I can’t wait to skate it.
Do you know what help is needed?
What’s with the tutu-clad ballerinas? I thought people stopped rollerblading. Well, I guess I better go get a big block of wax, then.
“don’t say nufin won’t be nufin”
a hilarious quote from a dude who is stays hatering people online. will someone please think of the children? nuggs- are they finished the design aspect of things? i would like to help if possible. whats up on the finances? are they actually going to build this one?
Uh. I know everybody is creaming their jeans about the idea of street style skate parks these days, but the design above doesn’t really have much going on. I like the idea of open space, but the entire foreground of the picture is empty (save for those adorable little characters). I understand the appeal of a public park built for skateboarding, but this looks more like any city park that happens to have a few things skate.
Oh, and this reminds me to ask, what the hell IS up with SRSP these days?
“I understand the appeal of a public park built for skateboarding, but this looks more like any city park that happens to have a few things skate.” Yup, thats the idea.
The idea of a street style park seemes to still just be an idea, unless you go to canada or ohio.
The future of park designs are in your hands. Get involved in a project, go back to your home town and start the process or just build something this week while youve got time off for the holidays. I am posting this meeting so you can see whats happening and get involved. But when the meeting happens, I know as usual no one will show up.
FPSF is working at new ways to raise some money for SRSP.
If you have not seen canada yet:

“Woodbury, NJ City Park that Happens to Have a Few Things to Skate Meeting”
change title plzkthx
and who’s putting up the dough for this one? the township? or are skaters going to get fleeced so that some duds can get baryshnikov al fresco?
yo nuge — what about that park in helsinki, finland? it’s in a major city, and it’s exactly what we’re talking about.

“My purpose was really not to design a skatepark, just a public garden or this environmental artwork.” – Janne Saario
I still can’t figure out, for the life of me, why the City of Philadelphia can’t grasp this topic.
Gonzo, thanks SOOOOO much for that finland video. That place rules so much!
I literally live 2 minutes from the proposed spot, but this park is never going to happen. Its just too damn expensive.
Final designs are posted on skatenerd.com
Another write up, this one not so nice.

YO GANSTA HOMMIES. WHATS UP YALL?
DONT SAY NUFIN DONT MEAN NUFIN
oh yeah skate parks are the perfect place to do ballet
why is there just one picture that is in black and white and why do they put people in it? are those people going to be skateable statues?
