Still in Yorkshire but at the sea-side, have Scarborough BC got the funding for that new park they were building?  I think it was in addition to the small one there already, it was gonna have bowls and all sorts...

Post by: priv on December 11, 2008, 05:25 PM
the deepest part of the bowl is about 7ft deep with a couple of feet of vert,but there are a few banks,transfers a jump box and a massive jump box[fcuk knows who'd ride that].

there's a flatbank to a weird shallow bowl a few rails.

there's more to ride than hyde park,so it'll do to pass a few hours
