Sounds like there is quite a few of us in the Bristol area - we could organise a day touring the local skateparks during one of the sunnier spells later this year (if we get any)

Anyone fancy it?

You're not wrong there Dodger - TBH I don't care if I'm the worst in the skate park - I get so much enjoyment from riding and learning new stuff that i don't care what others think.

Great to see people getting tricks under their belt for the first time too!

Title: Re: a few of bristol's finest
Post by: dodger on March 08, 2009, 06:06 PM
i think ewport will be a beter option tbh i have details for motion in bristol the ramp setup is ok but no flat banks sub box's ect to play on  for beginers

motion £55ph minimum of 2 hour booking and only on mondays allot of time and money in a small park whar could get bord easy/be out of some ppls depths

let me no what u think.
Title: Re: a few of bristol's finest
Post by: Bushwacked on March 08, 2009, 07:00 PM
I get the impression Motion is more of an advanced riders location - I had in mind more of a pootle round the outdoor parks - will need the weather for it though.
Title: Re: a few of bristol's finest
Post by: magna13 on March 08, 2009, 07:03 PM
I reckon we should get down the St. Georges park or have any of ever heard of my local? Peg Hill? in Yate, oustside of Bristol but not to far :daumenhoch: :daumenhoch:

correct on that one motion is stightley for the big balld ones out door parks are great but as u said the wether can be un reliabale which we need if ppl are coming from miles away.
