Some of you will probably already know them..

Chorley lesuire centre banks..









More to follow...

They look pretty fun, certainly nothin i would got to chorley for though

Those banks are nice to skate.
Though there isn't that much to skate in Chorley but it might have changed over the 2 years.

Theres loads (ish) to skate, you just gotta trek round a fair bit.

Holy cross school has some nice mellow (and long) banks, a block thing, a super steep bank and a fucking huge 6 set.

sounds good, i hear chorley is rough is it this true?

It can be, depends really, ive never had trouble there but then again im not exactly 15 years old.

Lots of gangs seem to roam around at night, same as most other towns/citys.

yeah, they tend to leave you alone if you're older Sken...
Some chavs were looking for a fight with me and Mark last week until Mark walked up to them and they realized he wasn't 16...
I'd hate to be a teenager skating alone these days.

chorley isnt too bad, i live just like 5mins away in astley village which tbh can be pretty rough but if you choose the right time to skate the spots, weekend afternoons mainly you dont get any trouble..
chorleys where i learnt to skate, theres enough to keep you entertained, but once youve skated there like 2/3years like i have the place gets a bore, like any town i imagine, i didnt think anyone really made the effort to trek into chorley to skate the stuff though besides lesuire banks and the odd stair set there isnt much else, well besides a whole load of industrial estates, as sken always says we use to have a strong scene here, but besides myself and a few others we are the only ones who tend to street it round these parts..

if anyone is treking down, give us a shout, and i'll give yas the guided tour

I may trek down here with a some mates when the old ankle is healed, maybe three weeks if your up for showing us about?

I may tag along on that day as well, never skated chorley

Theres 4 or 5 older guys from up pall mall way, they seem to skate holy cross now and them, seen them around preston too on the odd occasion.

Chorley had a pretty amazing scene in the early 90s, three skateshops(Sampsons on pall mall, knightingales on market street and soul skates on water street), 2 of which where skater owned & operated(soul skates and knightingales), at least 30-40 skaters if not more. Good times, good vibes and some of the sketchiest backyard mini ramps ever.

There used to be a full size half pipe on wasteground in clayton le woods, opposite the martindales near asda, admitingly this was not the best built ramp ever, it worked, although all i ever did was pump and see how close i could get to the coping..which wasnt very close.

There was a crew from euxton and quite a few lads from coppul, as well as a small ish group from whittle le woods too.

Had some good sessions at back lane, was a little hectic with 30 people there though.

some stuff that hasn't been posted




the Chorley Toro, avit!



(gap and rails continue to the right all along the carpark. runout's a bit short before a curb into a "disused" road but its reet)



gala bingo is the place to be. rail has been sw 180'd over.

b&q banks with skinny gap at the top. i really wanna go back and skate those again.

the legendary chorley hospital, full of little things to skate. perfect undercover carpark with huge on ramp to bomb down as well.

I used to have loads of phone pictures of spots in chorley but theyve all gone.

I live about 5 minutes away in a car..

It's rough though, After being in chroley me and 2 freinds where near those banks talking about skating them when we where approached by 3 chavs, " what the Fu** you lookin at lad!" shouted one as he pulled out a cricket stick out of his sleeve and the other one pulled out a metal bar. We got up and walked away smartly.

Next time its sunny, perhaps the summer, We need to all get down there for a skate. Anyone know if there are any 4 or 5 sets in Chorley?

Holy cross has a 6 set, but its huge,with limited run up. Theres a 5 or a 6 at morrisons too, quite a few small stair sets at lancashire college and theres a couple at the business park near tesco.

Ah good. Thanks Serapth Those banks are calling to me..

satanic rituals anyone?

get some instant sement and make a lil qp

Has that 15 handrail been done/ attempt yet?

nope, don't think so. Maybe some crazy frootbooter.

Yeah we're defo wapping some quik-crete on those jerseys, they are rad.

Botany Bay!

What I'd give to skate that.

Went chorley after coming back from manchester back to blackpool, friend tryed riding this wall and bailed proper bad.
Not going back there for a while.

See pic for bail..

Whos your mate and what the fuck was he doing trying to ride that wall? I was eyeing that up to day, fucking horrible.

Some gash footy from todays chorley venture.

He's called joe packman, he does the funniest bails ever

Heres a vid of him
http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseacti...ideoID=18313021

And yeah, he got all the way to the bottom, and when he came off he kinda grinded the side of it, theres actually some footage of it on that link.

Chorley can be the worst place ever at times. Ive had some awesome and some horrible experiences there. A chav once started on me saying i was looking at his mate even though they were sat 10 foot behind me. My tip is to get drunk because no one bothers you if your drunk in chorley.

Sessioned a few old spots in chorley this evening, and found a new one too.

Rob, you mong.
Why haven't I seen you for so long
You not been down St Annes lately ? Actually, I've not skated in so long; maybe that's why!

that looks like it could turn out nasty
