THE DESIGN
The Stoke Sub Hamdon transition park is an open-sided flowpark style design, featuring hips, rollers and a spine/miniramp setup. Riders can carve around the facility using the hips and rollers in an unbroken flowline. The facility features long sections of coping for grinds and lip tricks. This style of facility would provide endless hours of fun, even for the most experienced of riders. The hips and rollers connect with the spine section and the miniramp seamlessly, allowing for some exciting transfer manoeuvres between the different spaces.
The miniramp is the bedrock of many of the most successful skateparks and enables riders to perform technical lip tricks and aerial maneuvers. This section of the facility is clearly very important to local riders and was a core element in the consultation. The spine section can be sessioned back-to-back and the quarterpipe extension after the outer roller enables riders to soak up speed from tricks and create more momentum for a return run.
