1980′s Old School Skateboarding

1980′s Old School Skateboarding

This is the era when I first started Skating standing up properly, as in the late 70′s I was just knee boarding down hills on my American Fyer.  I think it was around 1984 a time just before Skating got big again. 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 [...]

Coping on the Yorshire Coast

Yorkshire’s Coast line has now gained some extra surf.  Whitby, Scarborough and Bridlington have great smooth freeformed concrete skateparks to keep you entertained.  These waves will never go flat.

Whitby – West Cliff Head

This U shape bowled skatepark is situated on the open ground on West Cliff, next to the old paddling pool and Go Karting.  Parking is free and right next to the skatepark, if you get there early enough [...]

Do You Like Flat Bottoms

Just thinking with all these bowls cropping up, nearly all the British built ones seem to have flat bottoms and no split levels. Unlike the USA built one at Safron Walden.

I ridden the one in Marsailles, Saffron and the one at Doncaster (flat bottom). It seems more fun and and you can get some really speed with bowls with split levels and more contours.

Is it what the riders want or is it that the British [...]

There is approximately an area 14 x 17m available at the rear of the park, and possibly fill in the odd wasted dead spot here and there.  Making it more useable. 

We all know funding can [...]

Possible New Skatepark at Rushcliffe Country Park, Nottingham

I was speaking to the guys at Rushcliffe Country Park today about skateparks, they have an old wooden mini ramp there at present. The location is great and there could be a possibility of upgrading it to a concrete one, if the demand was good enough.

I know its all down to funding, but the Park Manager may be up for gaining funding if [...]
