Incredible facilities at XC, but there are too many things in the skatepark that need improvement.
An indoor skatepark should be open whether it's raining or dry, but over 5 times now when I call up the skate park it has been closed due to condensation on the ramps making it even more slippy than it already is. An indoor park shouldn't have to deal with weather conditions, that's the whole reason people go to indoor skateparks! This is the only indoor park I experience these problems with.
Another issue is the wasted half of the skatepark, being a skateboarder I like to dip into the whole park, whether it's the mini, street section, big ramps or the bowls. But the concrete used to create these bowls are so dangerous.
Companies like maverick industries use spray concrete and it is pure perfection in terms of grip and smoothness, but whatever concrete is used here may as well be made of ice, the first time dropping in I could feel the board sliding under my feet, it would only take the smallest lean for the board to slip out and for myself to fall straight into the ramp. The design of the bowl is incredible and could be one of the most creative bowls I have skated, but being the material it is, you may as well transform it to another scooter build because that would get more use...
I wish I could say good things about this place as it has more potential than anywhere within a 50 mile radius but sadly there are just so many issues that need to be looked at and sorted. The one thing I will say is perfect is the mini ramp, I would not go to this place anymore if it wasn't for that mini.
If you're looking for a busy death trap on a scooter then maybe this is the place for you!
