My new favourite outdoor park , loads of possible lines when you don't have the kids snaking you!

A word of warning though, we was warned by a skater that the local chavs who frequent the park are nasty pieces of work!

Post by: TwoBobRob on October 17, 2005, 10:16 PM: DO NOT go to that park by yourself....... It's a cool park but it's rapidly getting a reputation - 2 bikes stolen a day on average is what I heard recently - so take care ;)

We could always organise a session there before/after/instead of Rom one weekend? Safety in numbers... ;D

Post by: lazychubs on October 17, 2005, 10:26 PM: yeah they are taking the younger kids bikes so ive been told
Title: Re: Dagenham new outdoor skatepark
Post by: Wayne Ryder on October 18, 2005, 12:45 PM: Quite near where I live, but I couldn't find it due to sketchy directions so drove on to Rom instead that day.
From what i'm told, the chavs covered it in graffiti, which the council removed with a pressure hose. The surface ended up cocked, hence loads of dust.
Anyone get a Streetmap-type diagram on here? Wouldn't mind going sometime before it gets shut down.

The surface ended up glockenspieled

the swear filter is ace!!!

Post by: Wayne Ryder on October 18, 2005, 01:26 PM: My text molested by a swear-filter! The audacity!
Still, no point going off half-glockenspieled about it I suppose.

Post by: graeme on October 18, 2005, 04:17 PM: I know the guy how designed it , si skip, surely people have heard of him!
He's good mates and skate buddies with my birds brother, dave watson. Probably not heard of him yet, but you will.
Its a good park, but its usually full of 6-7 year olds, getting in the way!
Title: Re: Dagenham new outdoor skatepark
Post by: TwoBobRob on October 18, 2005, 06:47 PM: Yeah, I know Si. Good bloke. Did a good job there I reckon, although he tells me there was loads of stuff left out and/or changed.

Hopefully the place will settle down and have a good scene - it's all about the locals - we'll see next summer once the novelty has worn off ;)
