Hulme bmx park

Here are some pictures of the new Hulme bmx park!! I was driving over the overpass in Manchester and i almost crashed the car. Its the first council built jumps ive heard of. They are very much work in progress at the minute but the basic shape is really good. Theres a small concrete skatepark also but they have painted the bottom of the halfpipe so its not the best to skate and the bottom of the quarters are to lippy! Bad design a typical council oversight iam afraid. One of the quarters has the weirdest rail coming off the coping check the pics.

Check the bottom of the quarters, to lippy
Berms in the process of being built
Hows the coping on this beauty??
