The promised land

Words or photos are never going to do any justice to how gnarly the park is, there are 18 foot bowls with marble coping that i know i'm never going to grind, crazy over vert bowls, head hight ledges and rails, a vert ramp bigger than the Woolys shed, more marble ledges than you can poke a stick at, small bowls, a streety park and my favourite and the scariest thing I've ever ridden the DEATH tube. The place is so intimidating and it's hot as a fuck here, there were about 7 other people there when we went, all locals who mostly lurk in the street park, it looks like an empty waste-land and just like in the real world alot of the ledges are fucked and the ground sucks in spots. Some of the ramps are cracking apart. We got lost as hell trying to get here but it's been worth all the effort, this place is a close no.2 after Woolys as my favourite place on earth.
The park is not just dangerous for humans, frogs hop in from the lake next door and they don't hop out. It's so hot in there that they are mumified into frog jerky, baked hard as stones.
And they are everywhere.... Oly hung up on this one riding a huge concrete bowl with over vert capsules and flew straight into the hard steep tranny and re-freshing his hipper. He was not happy....
