Maltby 'So Called' Skatepark





thats all their is , and chavs

Quit your bitching... a skateparks a skatepark, yeah some are worse in quality than others but skaters must be versatile to skate in all sorts of conditions.

Seconded, and if you don't like it you can eat a fat dick skate somewhere else.

Thirded, and if you don't like it you can skate somewhere else eat a fat dick.

There is no need to be a bunch of arses. There is nothing wrong with this topic, there is a lot of badly constructed parks out there. Here is your chance to help skaters avoid them.

I have already put this up elsewhere but this is perhaps the worst park in my area.

it is bad but i would still give it a sesh

Actually that picture makes the middle part look higher than it is, its about 10cm in height.

easy

Are you for real? It's tits like you that cause the councils to provide that shit in the first place. There's NO excuse for a park like that. Are you seriously suggesting that we should be thankful for that shit?? I suppose if you bought a car and it didn't work you'd not bitch?
Try thinking before spouting shit in future.

I know one, right around the corner... actually two, but one of them isnt as bad. the other one has curbs which are partly (50%) in the grass, a cornerquarter (?) with about 5 cm space to place your feet on and a surface which is absolutely not even but rather consists of invisible wobbles... gotta take a pic of it

oh, and its packed with chavs of course

I think my local Birchwood might be a winner, there are pictures floating about somewhere. Anyway, it consists of 4 ramps, each on different edges of the park, meaning you have to travel quite far to reach the next ramp. It's metal of course and the floor is unneven and damaged. There are no rails or funboxes...

Eastern, my local. I really do hate it some times.

Pictures

I will have to get pictures of a park near me, if beats all your parks by far, o dear

i wish that was my local

Not when you see some of the knobheads/smashed glass up there.

It is a preety good park, but the amount of dickheads in the summer takes the piss.

Is fun to skate in Winter though.

In Winter it is so fun, cos you can't skate it that much because of the weather, but when you can and theres no dickheads there, you can have a whale of a time.

gotta be one of the worst. Laughingly called a "quarterpipe" on skateboard.com.au...


Balmain in sydney





Strathfield South





...and out in the sticks ~



Brunswick Heads





Glen Innes







check out the wacked coping and board to match lol



Cobar (maybe 800 km from sydney lol)

I reckon thats quite funny

ill have to get pics of mine soon its worse than all of them(i think)

where my gran lives, dartmouth, there is THE worst skatepark in britain, it has a rusty flatbank, a funbox and a toppled over quartper pipe. but it doesnt matter, because the ground is so rough, you can hardly move on a skateboard anyway. unfortunately i dont have pictures.

some of the parks you guys (and gals) have posted aren't that bad. the park in the first post looked reasonable (by british standards) and so did the one darris posted.

Found this on another forum...

Yes, its on grass, and should you really want to travel the lenth of the country to get to its in a village called watton in stone.

but thats not a skatepark thats just an obstacle

Correct. However the local council paid some company to install a skatepark in that field.. and thats what they got!

Imagine how pleased the local skaters were.

well if it classes as a skatepark then thats worse than mine
but mine is still shit

I would of been stoked to have that!

That makes the one i slapped up look worth the money!

at least youve got locals, i have to get the train and tube for ages just 2 get to one

skate street spots then - gettin the tube sounds like ure in a city - lots of stairs and ledges there surely??

...getting the tube makes it sound like he's in London.

Isn't that "The world's greates park" from Skidding the Rim?

I also have a terrible park nearby (metal quarter, metal spine and metal slope in a row, all the metal bends when you go on it and it's on the same surface as a gravel football pitch), but that one takes the biscuit

not in london but i get the train into london then get the tube to brixton or southbank. It takes ages though.....

i think that had a rail.

even though it takes me a while to get there, when im there its the best so i spose i souldnt be complaining.... Merry christmas

I haven't been to a bad park but some of those above are totally wnk

I reckon Chapel skate park is crap for skaters

A 5ft roll in straight into a spine, then up to a 4 ft driveway, followed by a 5ft quarter

It is crap and the surface is rubbish due to wet leaves being everywhere and the concrete is damaged

There's a brand new skatepark bircotes (near doncaster) and boy is it shit. The funbox is ok, but it's a armac surface with metal ramps with a plastic coating have been put on!!! (on of those flatpack jobs ¬_¬ pffft)

Anyway theres a spine and a jumpbox both 1 foot high (if that), theres about 4 quarter pipes and all around 4ft yet go almost to vert like pool walls and a flatbank that has around a 60 degree transition!!!

Why cant the goverment/ councils ever get anything right!!

theres was 4 skateparks in my local area but know 3 as the one was called the youth no one used in all wooden verts spines the lot

theres an indoor one called 3rd dimention also known as ramppage

theres perdiswell my fav 10 mins away

and dines green which is small but fun



any one bit to anyof them???

there in worcester

There's a place called Bryn which is just over a mile from my house and they have a skate park up in the mountains. All they have is a rustic steel mini ramp.

sketchiest mini ramp in the UK = Gainsbourogh metal mini!!

Just found out it got taken down. Haha!

i think dean lane park in bristol is pretty bad, theres loads of chavs on bmx's and the surface is crap,the concrete has big holes and chips in

my mate designed that skatepark and its alrite iv only been there once. i thought bircoats is in donny?

Theres this "Skatepark" in my old town Steyning which literaly is a piece of tarmac with a kurb on 1 side with like 2cm gaps in between em.

Its also of a huge slope.

Not to mention its covered in glass and chavs..

Theres also a massive hole in the middle from some wankers making bonfires in it lol.


The skatepark I live by now tho is pretty good apart from the bladers that wax the rails and coping -.-

I know. Doesn't it piss you off? If only grinds and lip slides were possible with skateboards.

my skatepark, the funbox is as big as the quarter

I'm not talking about a light scraping of wax to make it easier..

I'm talking about unnesersary amounts so you fall arse over tit.


They sometimes heavily wax the bottom of the mini so when you do a trick you slide everywhere as if its pissing with rain :/

Okay now that's just plain silly.

How can you call that crap alright, its stupid!
