bikepark-skatepark?
 

What's the difference between a bikepark and a skatepark?

One has a no bicycles sign, and the other has a bunch of kids on dirt jumping rigs testing out their marshmellow forks by flying out of the quarter.

Probaly the way the park and jumps are set up.

nothing really.

unless the bike park is all dirt jumps or something...

Funny.

I'd like to see it though. Dirt Jumping bikes are a new reality for me. I didn't know they existed till a few days ago.

Not quite what I was looking for, but cool.

Yeah. Thanks for the update, Chief.

The only difference between a "bikepark" and a "skatepark" is the first half of the word; they're the exact same thing.

skate parks don't have sub-boxes/rails

ex introduced you to a DJ MTB, not a DJ BMX



I have a much better search engine

That's funny, because the Sunnyvale skatepark has a subbox. As did the old Milpitas Vans park, which originally didn't allow bikes.

how the **** is a skater gonna use a sub box. the highest i've seen a skater ollie was about 2 feet, and i don't know why a sub box would be less than 2 feet above a bank

That park has 2' subbox coming off a bank, and the skaters use it all the time. The Vans park had a subbox off a quarter, and they used that more than the bikers did (because the quarter was only 3' tall).

I find it hard to believe that you think that skaters can't use subboxes; hell, the backside of the vert quarter at Sunnyvale gets used for footplants all the time.

i have watched so many skaters try to hit this sub box at the banks and they always **** up. even the good ones like koston and valelley

The streets are the best guyz, skateparks and bikeparks are ohk but if u really enjoi riding manual gaps and drop offs are best. theres only so far u can push a jump, theres always something better to do on the streets

All joking aside, theres a combination park here in West van called Gleneagles...

Its got a 'bike park' with log rides, bridges, teeter totters etc for the MTB crew.
..its also got a section of dirt jumps in various sizes...
..and right beside that is a concrete skate park
