What grade steel is that coping? It appears aluminumy?

Don't understand steps at a skatepark? Okay gap.. but why not just make it spaced out big 2 stair rather than 4? Less chance to catch a foot the wrong way on 2 versus 4 if landing on stairs.

Also in regard to the stairs why not make them pop out from the banks a little so you can grind across them? With them being flush you can just ride right acrosse without ollieing. Just a thought.

The steel is schedule 40 (thick) but it's galvanized, thus the silver color.

Stairs in a skatepark? Kids want 'em, that's all- I agree that they are pretty useless and can only be skated one way but they continually pop up as the top three most requested items when polling skaters. I personally think the gap next to the stairs is a far better use of space...
