There maybe a chance of a small indoor Skatepark at a venue in Sutton-in-Ashfield in Nottinghamshire, however the owner needs to know if there is a demand for a safe indoor place to Skate away from all the Chavs in the Sutton Area.

It is close to the centre of Sutton with easy walking or Skating distance from the Bus Station.

The Floor is nice and smooth with a paint finish, good ceiling height and daylight.

The size is 18m long x 8m wide, easily enough room for a small Skate setup.

Hockey Den at Sutton-in-Ashfield - New Indoor Skatepark

The area is used for other activities, so the ramps would be available on a router agreed with all users.   The ramps would be store away when not in use. 

There would be a small charge to enter, however session prices will have to be discussed.

If you think there is a need and you would be willing to pay to ride please add you comments here and they will be viewed by the owner who is keen to give it a go if the numbers are there.  The place may also be able to sell a selection of Skate gear if the demand is ther too.

What kind of ramp setup would you like.  There would be room for a rail, manual pad, small bank in the middle and 4 nr. quarter pipes or flat banks at either end.  Its slightly smaller than a Tennis court, to give you a picture of the size.

So get typing and tells us if its a Goer !!!

The was no Ramps or Skateparks near us in the East Midlands as they had all closed down in the late 1970's or early 80's. We just bombed around the streets making up stuff and having fun.

I first borrowed my sisters friend's 1970's skateboard which I later found out was a Jeremy Henderson Benjy Board setup. If only I still had it now !, but unfortunately my Dad took the Deck to the local Dump and I only have the Tracker Trucks, Yo Yo wheels and deep riser pads left. I wonder how many classic decks and skateboards have been buried in our Land fills over the years before the time of Ebay.

My first 1980's setup was a Sims Jeff Phillips deck, Independent trucks and Variflex Street Rage wheels. I later replaced my wheels with Powell Peralta Rat Bones 96A.

Places we use to ride:

Nottingham - Broadmarsh Banks - Behind the Bus Station.
Local Streets
Bedminister Skatepark
Wanlip - 1970's Skatepark
Warrington Vert Ramp
Went to Horncastle Vert Ramp, one day.
Manchester - A Vert Ramp in a Spuash Court at a Leisure Centre.

These were located at the back of the BroadMarsh Bus Station, nicely tucked away in a nice central location.

Were the main users consulted and how it would effect our long established groups, and the Council want more people to be active in their leisure time.

Wasn't these humps an Architural Art Form where people could expressed themselves on. We happened to use skateboards and BMX's as our tools and the Humps were our canvas.

This has been a great skate spot since the 1970's and later the BMXers used them from the early 1980's. Riders have travelled from a far to rider these unique humps and lines.

One of the 1970's better and useful Art forms which should have remained and been incorporated into a modern scheme.
