Work Experience at Wheelscape

This summer we hosted a few students for their work experience, giving them a taste of what goes into designing and building skateparks. (Mmmm concrete).

Joe, a keen scooter rider with a passion for design, came to our Bristol office at Campus Pool and shadowed our lead designer Russ Heideman.

Russ showed him the timeline of a typical skatepark project, some of the technical construction details and gave an insight into the stages and processes of skatepark design. From here, Joe was given a ‘test project’. We created a brief asking him to redesign his local skatepark, with a scaled plan of the existing site, some sketch paper and a scale ruler, Joe set off and came up with some great ideas.

We’re still in conversation with Joe and his Mum Bekkie about some more potential work experience one he has completed his GCSE’s

Here’s Joe proudly rocking his Wheelscape tee.
