hey. Been to sooo many parks and the reweiw on the well to be fair arnt as
good as they should be. heres my break down of the parks ive been to. use
it, dont use it. up to you
Doncaster:-
Hexthorpe Bowl
- Probably the WORST constructed bowl ever made, you cant pump
it. its bumpy as fuck, the transitions are diffrent on every side, coping is
fucked, basicly DONT GO
Sheffield:-
The House Skatepark-
Skater Owned park, absolutly amazingly built, mini ramp
is the best mini in my opption ever, so smoothe and
transtitions and coping
is amazing, got a little kiddy section, street corse is great, hip with new
wall ride, 3 driveways, flat bars, hubbas, 4 stairs with ledge, flatbank
ect, www.thehouseskatepark.co.uk
Devenshire Green- Out door park in the center of sheffield, bowled corners,
flat banks and driveway, bmxer's built a vert extention too, blocks, BIG 3
Step/ledge Great park
Millhouses: no transitions, just flatbanks and a hubba
ParsonsCross: PROPPER GHETTO!!! Realllly good park.. you either hate it or
you love it, whippy, loads of transitions to pump around, 2 bowls, big mini,
pool corner (not
pool coping sadly) rails and ledges all over, if it wasnt
in the most GHETTO area of sheffield it could quite possibly the best
outdoor park ive ever been to.
Leicester:
The Edge, great small little park, currently under referb, will be done for
the opening demo on 2ed of april,
bowl with spine to mini ramp, HUGE 1/4 and
shit street corse but the street corse is getting rebuilt as we speak, I
know the guy whos making it so it should be WELL GRANRLY
Rotherham:
Boardstupid, I love this place, the most friendlyist park owners ever, basic
skatepark, nothing extra ordinary, mini ramp, driveways, big 1/4, stairs,
London
Harrow,
www.harrowskatepark.co.uk its amazing, shame I dont get to go down there too
often, if you have seen squadrophina its the park that ginger steve pumps
around, snake run, pool, bowls, big bollock, U pipe,
Playstation (which is now called xbox I think)
huge park, Gnarly area of london, big vert, long mini ramp, HUGE street
corse with far too much to explain.
Birmingham
Epic
Skatepark, huge park, owns the biggest vert in england (dont try
dropping into it at 4am after a crate of stella!!) amazing bowl, huge street
corse, wembley gap with rail, mini ramps,vert wall
Derby
Derby
storm, love it or hate it, made by bmxers so its huge and pretty hard
to skate, got a full pipe tho, mini ramp with spine, another mini ramp and a
huge street section (meaning big no much stuff there tho)
Peterbrough
y2sk8: huge park, everything you could ever need in a skate park but no bowl
sadly, vert, miniramp/spine, good street section, wallride, hips, stairs,
ledges www.y2sk8.com
Leeds
The Works, big park, not skater owned so dont try and blag your way in coz
no matter how good you are they dont let you skate free, its a good park,
well looks good, just not that impressive
to say how much money they put
into it.
Clown
outdoor shit skatelite bollocks
Burnley
dunno what its called, HUGEEEEE bowl, biggest ive ever seen, haed to skate
but worth a drive to go, get
stuff in here, very out the ordanary, hard to
explain whats in there as its so diffrent to most skateparks,
prob missed off loads of parks but im bored of typing now.
