Various spots in preston.. more to follow..

PNE for life, so good that place went thre two weeks ago and has an awesome session, you missed one of the big manny pads in the car park though.
Didn't know preston had a skatepark though, looks kinda shit.

Yeah the park is, its in the worst possible place and covered in gravel.. theres actually another not far from there thats even worse.

Council seem to build them in shit areas to show they are doing their bit for the community.

Yet a small town like clitheroe gets a big great park, where blackpool and preston two bigger towns with probably alot more youth, get left with this type of poo
oh well
you should put som pictures of preston uni up.

PNE

sweetage i wish i had that near me

Uni pics to follow, plus a few more spots that are well hidden/unknown too

One of those pics was in sidewalk

I skated the library banks in Preston today for the first time. Whoah, they are waaaaay steeper than they look on photos..

Had a rad skate though.. Didnt' manage any grinding on the top though.. Was just pleased to get up and down in one piece!!
Rad spot!
Went to PNE for a bit after too.

There's a skatepark in Preston *shocks*

Just under the broughton roundabout m55 flyover at the top end of garstang road.

With added Hazard! On coming traffic!

is it me or are all council built skateparks in the north west the same? the setup looks exactly the same as 3 local ones near me. ill get sum pics and uplaod them

Not council but crete and outdoor and free.. Go to Clitheroe..

Quite possible, the concrete set up is generic (better than the gbh/freestyle shit though) ive seen a few parks dotted around the north of the uk exactly they same.

The one hny with added moose (laura change your name its a pain to type out) mentioned is in clitheroe, lit up at night and is totally free to skate.

Pictures and the likes can be found here; http://www.skateclitheroe.freeuk.com/

Argos car park near the train station is pretty good but tight security and crap ground . Two nice banks that go from steep as hell to lower further down and a bit up the road theres two 3 sets. You cant beat the uni though love them banks and the 5 set

Yeah the grounds well shite, and the security kicks you off pretty fast too, the hip/kicker near the underground entrance used to be pretty fun too, but the grounds crap.

You ever managed to skate st.georges car park without getting thrown off?

Hm saw a nice 4set near the courts. allso saw a bank near National tyres, and a fat ass ledge but i dont know where. know if any are safe to skate? ill definately pay Preston a visit when it drys up.

The undercover carpark photos i took are just across the road from there.

Ah, they any good to skate?

Yeah, i like it there. Its lit up and dry most of the time which is a bonus, plus theres a variety of stuff to skate.. Stair sets, loading bay gaps, handrails, manual pads, sloped manual pads,steep bank, couple of blocks and a manny pad/block into bank combo thing too.

Its pretty much bust free, theres usually quite a few people skating there too, if you do decide to go use common sense and go after 6pm when its quiet.

Speaking of the fishies, anyone up for a pre-christmas skate sometime this week? I haven't skated properly in weeks and probably wont get the chance to until the new year

Sorry rodders, i would if i saw this earlier! You still up for a skate there my man? No comply into the bank i fancy...

yeah, i'm still up for it. I need to film some bits n bobs for that Goofy Vs egular thing as well, so get that curly-headed Robert person down as well.

Hell, just bring everyone

Found this lot on a spot hunt today..all in leyland/preston area


Knobbed, but ok for ollies and the likes

Long three to road.. excuse the gash photo, there was cars there at the time, weekends should be ok though.





Couple of undercoverish benches, lit up at night though, theres a few small stair sets, a few huges ones too as well as big and small gaps right round the corner from it, security kicked me off before i could take more photos though.

HIPPY JUMPAGE

Leyland fire station?

Yeah they can be hippy jumped, boardslid/grinded. They are bigger than they look on the photos though, just a tad smaller than a bench in height... they are round the back of hollywood express in preston.

I have to get myself down there, they look loads of fun.

I recognise that spot.

I saw some people skating under the M55 bridge on Saturday in between Longridge and Preston, actually, I nearly *hit* some people skating under the M55 bridge One of the boards flew into the road and someone thought it was a good idea to follow it. Its good job I was driving slow watching what they were doing

That may have been the Scene lot, they go skating those banks quite a bit.

UPD8Z

Apparently the Post Office loading bay is skateable again!

aye true.

but theres only a couple of sheets of soggy ply left round the back. But we did make a manny pad.

Wish i could find that sort of stuff, every time if have ever attempted to spot hunt i get bored as i know i could be skating..........

Any more spots in preston you would like to share, only a £3.05 train ticket for me
If i can get a child that is.
