some people from my course should be there today. I suck i carn't get up early enougth

whos gone from your course? tobias?

yeah toby and kane went last monday

It will rain forever and I'll never get to skate it again, I went on Saturday and even walked round stoke for two hours incase it dried up. It didn't.

I went on Sunday hoping it'd be dry cos it was daaan sarf.. Stupid me!!
I suppose I could have skated along with 50 or so other people who were intent on fucking their boards!

I went again yesterday and got caught in a storm but it's nice and dry right now I feel a trip coming on

should have come down today great skate, loads of people going sick!! tony D was landing full nab flips across a mega tight transition!! and there was apparently some guy being shot for the front cover of document!??? did a huge mega tight transfer!

take any pics yourself

nah was to busy skating:p fucking hell the bowls hard to skate!

I thought it looked gnarly when I went for a quick squiz.. It's mental!! lol.. Steep + tight as buggery and deeeep.

Yea, I'm gonna have to learn to skate it....some guys from the herion team were down the other day...and some sick bastard that looked like calso de andreti (sp?)

I'm going to try again today pray for dryness!!!!

that place is off the hook...although theres a little needless aggro with BMXers with pegs and stuff....im sure we can all get along!

hey, if anyone wants to help me out, im writing an essay on the skateboarding culture now compared to back in the day, ie dog town days onwards till about the 80's,

any help would be amzingly appr4ciated, just click on the link below and filll out the questionnaire, should take 2 minutes max

Has anyone else noticed that this place never gets dry?

you crazy? its like the fastest drying place ever!! althought with the cold weather it does get damp easily

It must just know when i'm coming and stays wet

could somone go into more detail about the 'feel' of the park .. i mean i can only get so much of an errection from the pictures (and let me tell you its a stonker) but i would like the actual description of what its like it skate. It'll be a mission for me to get down there so i want to find out the worth whileness of the experience.

If anyone is interested me, thom and a couple more of us Chorley-folk will possible hittin the plaza either wednesday,thursday or friday next week (since we're all off skool)

i'm not cunt. Plus broken ankle.

are we? news to me

I told you thomas! Well neil is probably coming, ive not had chance to ask you if you were really considering going....

I'm up for a mini sk8uk meet just pm me and let me know when

From a damn sexy photographer, who also does the Welsh news in Sidewalk. Check these pics from him..

Cashman, FS 180 Stalefish, Cardiff Bay.

Chris Gibbons, FS Mute, Compass Point Fessival, Cardiff.

Chris Gibbons, Indy Fakie, Compass Point Fessival, Cardiff.

Chris Gibbons, Indy Fakie, Compass Point Fessival, Cardiff.

I was lucky enough to skate at both of these demos...and see Biffy Clyro at the Compass Point Fessival. Pays to know people.

He's a damn sexy photographer. I prefer the stoke ones to the mini shots though.

I do love sexy photos.

jesus they're all sexy photos! is that place as good to skate as it looks ?

Carey , where about's in blackpool do you live? where do you skate?

I've got a load of other pics that hes taken for Killcity and Sidewalk and just some random pics. I'll send them to you sometime.

Where's Stoke?

I've skated a couple of times with a dude who's taken photos for Killcity, ace lad.

May try to get him to take a view photos sometime..

I apologise, I went on Saturday and it was dry, very cold but dry. I skated awful though, but I will be back over the festive holidayness!
