I dont really like Penzance. Its all so big, all you can really do is feel pleased that you got near the top (unless you are a vert ripper who aint worried about concrete!). I would still pop in there if I was down that way but I always have more fun at some of the smaller parks like Camborne.

Post by: lodge on July 31, 2009, 10:03 PM: Yeah that sounds about right, Dean loves concrete especially big bowls, he's rode a lot of wooden vert in his time and he doesn't run pegs so I can imagine why he loves it.
