Anyone ever skate in salisbury before? Just wondering if there were any places that are quiet or good for a beginner like myself to skate?

Im still a little self-conscious but my confidence is growing slowly! :D

i live in salisbury-
-u have the skatepark down on southampton rd
-the mini on bishopdown
-wyvern college in laverstock
-st marks school in bishopdown which has a nice 2 set to 6 set line
-another good spot is behind salisbury college where they have concrete banks
-the market sqaure is ok+u have the guild hall set
-and a couple of secret spots.

ooo what or where are these secret spots then? are they quiet?

Theres a few ramps in Dinton which i where ive been most cause i work just round the corner from it. Not been able to do anything on the ramps yet though, my balance isnt good enough yet. Ive just been skating up and down the car park outside my office trying to improve that.

So whats the southampton road skatepark like then? I can remember when it was first built years ago and all it consisted of was a half-pipe pretty much! lol!

The guildhall steps seem rather popular but dont you get put off by the drunken tramps that sit around there?

"arrr you fuckin' BURRAAPP!!

lol!

the secret spots r quiet.
heres what the park looks like nowsalisbury skatepark

yeah, u do get the drunks and sketchy people down there but it depends what time u go down, at night is the bes.t e.g. 1am+

also i forgot, theres the sainsbury carpark and the shop mobility which is good to skate from 6pm+

wow its grown a fair bit since i last saw it! I can imagine it gets pretty over-populated during weekends and holidays...

What about waitrose car park? Is that any good to skate too?

Waitrose its ok when its closed.

You might wanna try the leapfrog and the new park and ride on london rd because the car park is food lit all night and i have waxed up most of the curbs there.

Cool cheers for the tips dude, i think it will be awhile before im grinding kerbs though, i cant even ollie stationary on concrete yet!

Im just getting the hang of riding around on my board. its very relaxing, until you hit a little pebble and the board stops dead...

I also live in salisbury. I think KMA has given every good spot exept for behind the trian station and the boathouse/coach park.

heh behind the train station huh???

I live pretty close to that!

I forgot about the boathouse..

Im still not ready though to skate out though, im getting better on my board can even run along and get on it that way ok but still dont have the confidence to try a moving ollie yet.

Wow some of those slides look pretty cool!

Now wheres the skate park?

lol!

that is my all time favourite ramp to skate at the park, nothing can beat it!!!!
