Operator: Junior Araya
Location: Jaco, Puntarenas, Costa Rica
What made you decide to build your own park?
Kenneth Tencio: I will say it is not just one thing that made me take the decision, but in Costa Rica also in all Central America is the only wood park, and also covered and with real transitions, I just to travel for ride park and most of the time at home just to ride street, dirt or some concrete little parks around, so it really was something we need a long time ago, not only me but the whole Bmx scene here.
Name Park: Boostyard v3
Operator: Ryan Nyquist
Location: Wilmington, NC USA
What made you decide to build your own park in the backyard?
Ryan Nyquist: Once The Unit was shut down and dismantled, I knew I needed something to keep me fresh on my bike and sane. The local parks are super fun but lacked certain ramps and obstacles that I really enjoyed. So I decided to treat myself and make something I knew I would enjoy.
How does it compare to The Unit?
Ryan Nyquist: It's way smaller and simpler, but has everything I need to keep a smile on my face. Basically just big ramps that I can ride at speed and do fun tricks on.
Did you use wood from The Unit or did you have to buy everything new?
Ryan Nyquist: I bought everything new. The wood from The Unit was untreated and wouldn’t last long
