A - There is adequate spacing to ride this banked ledge from all directions. Having all banked side walls will allow riders to use this obstacle in a variety of different ways.

B - All obstacles are proportionately correct and work as a unified piece to create a proper plaza.

C - This park fits perfectly into it’s environment, plaza park in a downtown setting (not always the easiest thing to achieve).

D - Real world handrail and stairs, street skaters need handrails.

E - Using brick as a material application really brings unique life to a very typical skatepark obstacle. Here they have used the proper bank angles and brick laying techniques to make this a great bank.
