Privatized Paddlescapes And The Freaks In The Skyscraper (w/Taj Hanson)

Consider this a mini-Slow Impact recap, where an excellent panel about skatepark design and skate-integrated spaces leads to a productive conversation between our guest, Portland-based landscape architect, Taj Hanson, and Ted B about skate spot heritage, the shifting needs of skate plazas and their form, and what we all can do to ensure better things get built and worse things don’t get built at all. Practice into praxis, bank to curb, slap this! Taj’s trick challenge is a Welshed-out backside noselide, which means you’re gonna do a backside noselide and nollie pop outta that thang!
