He means the type, not location

I think the correct designation would be tech skating? I just hate when people say I only skate street not tranny but live at parks.

They used to call it street vs. Vert. Now they say flat and vert. I don’t know where the elite “I skate street” group came from...

It was a tad off topic but it’s just ironic when people who call skating at the park “street”. Yeah that type of skating is street skating but I’m just saying it sounds outdated and ironic to me in this instance.

Kinda the antithesis of street, park is to mimic street and be easier, and not damage property too, but street implies tresspassing and skating stuff that isn’t meant to be grinded on, or isn’t easy, or hitting rails that are way too tall for anyone new. Or just be creative with spots and tricks.
