No, Phil is thinner, greyer and lovelier than the man in the picture. ;D

I know lots and lots about Wheelscape but I won't commit anything to print here.
I will tell you they're not my favourite and you'll see by my earlier post I knew it was them simply by the layout of the park.
I will tell you to find out who's signing that job off at the council and try and get into him/her for any and all snagging as soon as you discover anything because I'll bet you a pound to a pinch of shit you'll never see the firm again after they've been paid.
The successful high quality Wheelscape parks have had two things in common historically; An extremely strong and committed user group and great luck with the actual build team who turned up.
Oxford Wheels springs to mind. Not a bad park at all really, Hastings equally so. Conversely, Harold Hill in Essex has failed almost immediately - there's water pouring into the park through cracks in the transitions and Wheelscape care so little that they didn't even point in between the coping stones around the top on the bowl there. a small thing to us, a monumental error to a skater.

I did meet the owner he came across as a bit of a d&ŁK. Hasn't a clue really about anything i was talking to him about. I think that's because I asked for a jump box that was longer than a bmx
TwoBobRob:
Nor is he likely to understand you'd like a reasonably safe approach and egress from that jumpbox either, especially as it's the fastest line in the park. That park has got collision written all over it. Just like so many others.
Was he an Irishman? The face of Wheelscape is from Northern Ireland and has skated for a good long while - he should know his stuff.
