You wanna come ride the Boardroom with us then...... None of that Blackpool space down there! This looks massive to us compared to the BR which is why e're always crashing into each other ;-)
Fingers crossed then for us simple Yorkshire-dwellers to return the hospitality of our Midlands bretheren.......

Looking good Jim
When can we have it?
Faith. L

It's about time you Lester boys paid some fuel tax , this is awesome news for me and Jim, might start keeping a bike at work now :D
-
::)
another indoor park oop north
probably an 8 hour round trip for me :'( that is a bit far
looks good tho - wonder why no-one's building one of these for the spoilt little twunts down here :yahoo_silent:
-
sounds positively delightful jimbo
actually I did spend a night in doncaster once before
it was without doubt the shittest ever NYE house party I've ever been to, ever
would have gone home, but made the schoolboy error of letting someone else drive and so I was stuck all night in a house full of speed-snorting shaven-headed tossers
only one woman turned up and she was the girlfriend of one of the aforementioned tossers
grim as fook
ten pounds sounds a bit steep tho tbh, does that include the pie and chips?
-
:LolLolLolLol: sorry griff went to modify it n deleted it :LolLolLolLol: you pay a premium for the old slapper rather than the realy old slapper :LolLolLolLol:
-
I'll pass ;D
not even for a gumjob
seriously, if I can get up there for a ramp session I will
would be good to get something going down here though...
-
we are doncaster the leading light in everything good n great wadz if u leave a bike at work im going on me dinner on the fooker for a cheecky bifta :LolLolLolLol:
-
Where the fook is doncaster? any chance of someone building one that's not 150 miles away?
-
it's nearly 200 for me :(
-
It's just over 20 miles for me - what a killer...... As my brother said when o told him last might, midweeknsessions for us then when it opens ;-)
You southern lads don't get any good news on the skatepark front do you?
-
I move to Bromsgrove and they open another park up North :tickedoff:
-
Great find, Jim-bob, Sir! :daumenhoch:
May struggle to get to this with it being so far, though! ;D
Any views on when will it be completed? :knuppel2:
-
looking at about six weeks or so, for the opening, according to FB posts, although stuff seems to be going up quick on the ramp side, so could be sooner i reckon, spoke to few locals today there's a real buzz going on can see the place being busy,
few more pics of the curls , more gone in :daumenhoch:, defo new school influence from the look of these big mfos

Got chance to call in today n checkitoot , firstly was right about about Jamie the guy i spoke to on the phone, top bloke, took 10 mins out to walk me round the place pointing out was was planed to go in, top stuff :daumenhoch: i say planned as some of the ramps have evolved with the input from the local riders , taking idea's building a mock up, and letting the better riders see if it works before commiting to build it, seems like a great way to get things right from the start :daumenhoch: there's ideas and input from the older skaters in the area going into the build design to as well as the younger flipp crowd and skootie kids , Jamie said he wants every one to be included regardless of what you ride , :daumenhoch:
there is a lot of thought going into the building too with a viewing gallery, shop, chill out area's etc .
Obviously to early still to get to booking the place for a Rad do but again the vibe was positive :daumenhoch:
got few pics although mostly of the skeletons but sure you can see the way its going to look.
Foam pit run in

this area will have quaters at both ends with jump box in the middle, not to big apparently :daumenhoch: then spines , quaters and rollers that flow you round to big jump boxes :daumenhoch:

From what Jamie has pointed out initially its looking like you should be able to flow round the whole park without having to stop, :daumenhoch: unless Griffs in the way of course :LolLolLolLol:
Having been in and looked at the ramps even the big ones look Suspect and indeed Rad member friendly , there will be ramps for all abilities from what i can tell :daumenhoch: the foam pit jump ramp looks sweeeeeeeeeeet :daumenhoch:
-
unless Griffs in the way of course
not likely considering it's in doncaster
maybe once I've topped up my rabies shots
-
Fookin ace Jim - I think a bit of sex wee just escaped my pants......
Any thoughts on private hire sessions in there yet?
Griff, you'll need more than rabies shots if a Donny lass gets her claws into you mate ;-)
