I went down to Deeside last week Chris, a complete contrast to that Sunday night when you ride there. Scores of bloody scooters like ants all over the place. :(

There's some decent indoor skateparks about, I enjoyed Northbridge at Doncaster but it's an hour+ for me to get there, and the one in Halifax about the same. The Works is quite near but too expensive to pay for me and both boys.
We'd best get digging in out local woods  >:D

Yes Jon  :)

I've pretty easy access to some great parks all indoor too

Leyland  indoor , Arc in Prston , Ramp city Blackpool , Rampworx Liverpool ,, not forgetting Clitheroe concrete outdoor  all between 20 mins to an 1hr away

so no probs for  mental places to ride .  :)

It's just that  place was soooo  right  :daumenhoch: Mahooosive bowl , nice street section , vert wall ,,a good few hips and jumpboxs   thrown in

and best of all only  seemed to be 5 or 6 riders some nights and about 20 when busy on the odd evening .

Unfortunately , this why it closed though  :crazy2:  :'(

Without doubt the car  :daumenhoch:

Although the skatepark probably saw more use  ;D

The arc's undergoing a re fit at the mo, it'll be wooden floored throughout and there's a beast of a bowl going in  :4_17_5:

Fook....remember going up in 3 vans to collect the left over ply at £5 a sheet, that bowl was awesome built by a riding mates old work college, remember crashing in that bowl and galley laughing his tits off, 10 minutes later he did the same thing. Brought the ply down to bucks to build a 7ft mini ramp, only for the fooker to burn down 2 years later.
