Theres no gnarly as bowl parks in Melbourne, unlike America where every single one is.

I find it also pretty hard to find good quarters that i can air well, with perfect coping, size, steepness etc. Let alone one i can get tonnes of speed too.

I prefer half's, quarters and box jumps over a good stair set, most of the time.
There's no street it fucking sucks.

I recently got airs almost over coping on this like 12 foot vert wall on a huge bowl near me,but I'd much rather just ride a 5-6 foot bowl or mini ramp. Seeing a scooter rider kill vert is always awesome though.

If I had a local vert ramp I would probably only ride that. It's my favorite terrain to ride on a scooter.

I ride vert all the time but no one else at my park really rides vert bowls like i do they mostly just stick to the fly out lol.
 
me and tom haugen were discussing the other day and theres a few reasons...
1. Vert riding is just as dead of a sport as rollerblading, every year its the same exact riders in every contest
2. hardly anyone has a local vert ramp to ride.
3. its not very fun enough hitting the same ramp over and over to take it seriously

Bowls can be counted as vert too and there fun as hell if you know how to ride one right.
