It was good riding with a big group but the park is a piece.

Real Ride is officially the shittiest park ever.


haha i thought it was like 687463 times better because all the ramps got all resurfaced?..o well i wanted to go so bad.
It might have been nice the day they resurfaced but the problem is is they used masonite to resurface not skatelight so it lasted all of a couple weeks now almost every single ramp is cracked and soggy. Not to mention there is only like 1/3 of the original ramps left because they had to scrap and salvage everything because it was never maintained. The new setup has no lines and the ramps are choppy and rough as shit. Everything is waaaayyyy too big for anyone other then bikers and there is no way to get speed for anything without kicking for a mile. The halfpipe is still fun but even that is getting pretty run down. Also, it isn't Real Ride anymore... it is The (BMX) Compound www.dacompound.com now... a BIKE park. It is 100% biker friendly and not worth the drive or the $10 to get in. Plus they charge $8 now to ride their disgusting foam (supposedly to help pay for new foam) now so there really isn't anything good about that place unless you bike.

I fucking dont get how do you people consider such park shitty. It has every kind of obstacle, a foam pit, a roof, everything. A typical skatepark in Poland consists of a funbox, a qp or a bank, either a rail stuck in the ground or a grindbox and that's it. You, Cali kids must be damn spoilt with all those parks you have, you can always say 'This park sucks' and then move yourself to another park just across the street.

Yes, we are spoiled but you wouldn't drive an hour in 105 degree heat to pay $10 to ride a run down park then another $8 just to ride some rotten foam (unless you really had a special trick in mind) not to mention the money you spend in gas ALL while a perfectly nice and FREE concrete park is within 15 minutes of where you live. We might sound spoiled but you wouldn't be going to Real Ride either if you lived here.

Andrew completely off topic question but you post alot in this thread so i hope you dont mind...

I thought you were leaving for the summer.... and thats why we got the new mods and stuff, because you werent going to be around and all that.... but its like mid-july and you are still here? just wondering what was going on with that. If you are staying here for the summer maybe the SR store could open back up ...? :)

My summer job at Point X fell through unexpectedly so now I am home for the Summer, however, I got a new full time job that will be taking up most of my time then when college starts back up at the end of August I will have zero time so I really don't know when the store will be opening back up. I have been making and shipping special orders for people who contact me but I don't think I'm going to have the time to run the store full time anymore. I would like to but I just don't know yet. We will see.
 
yeah, andrew pretty much said it all.

But one thing i would add is that their foam pit was sopossedly rebuilt, but the idiots made it even smaller.
some of my friends that went there recently have hit the sides.

The "new foam" has been sitting in their office for 2 months now and they have been charging the additional 3 $ to pay for foam for the entire time.

yeah the foam pit pretty much sucks. one kid that was teaching me how to backflip broke his ankle on either a bar or somthing else inside of the pit. i think it was something connecting the trampoline, anyway, i ended up hitting my back square on it cuz i over rotated the flip and that wasnt to much fun
