dont forget the wembley gap!! that is a beast!

Must agree its a lot different than the photos on the site!

Nick killed himself doing 50-50s and 5-0s down the hubba ledges.. he nailed them in the end though

Had loads of fun on the mini, then proceeded to see how high up the vert wall i could get, guessing i was around 15 feet when i bailed!! Damn i ache now hehe.

Going again at some point next weekend

EDIT:
TIPS FOR RAMPCITY

DO NOT PUT MONEY IN THE FOOD MACHINE NEAR THE ENTRANCE
DO NOT BUY DRINKS FROM THE CAFE (VERY OUT OF DATE)
TAKE FOOD/DRINK WITH YOU BUT alWAYS EAT OUTSIDE THE PARK
TAKE A BAG ,MY JUMPER GOT STOLEN .


DId you go on saturday?

There is a skatepark in blackpool!?!?!?
I took my board to blackpool once and there was only one spot and that was outside the tower, was packed and skatestopped, very dissapointed!

Yeah sunday night sessions are becoming a regular thing at rampcity. Have a look on the website sean, its a top park

Where do you guys come from in order to get to ramp city
I was under the impression there wasnt many from Blackpool on the forum

We travel from leyland

laaammmee i thought i was going ot make some skater friends then

No worries , i'm pretty much from blackpool

the spot outside the tower is good, did u not ask some one to show you the other spots were all friendly round here. when did you come cause it mostly rains round here?
from the blackpool rat

Ive seen the bandstand a lot on my mates (PJ) video of the skatescene around blackpool and preston. There seems to be some good stuff there.

I want to skate that manny pad. NOW.

the parks changed quite alot since those pictures.
the manny pad and funbox are now together making room for the new wembly gap. It's abit more cramped but its alot more fun :D

By PJ do you mean Andy Heppel? I skated with him back in the day

yeah thats him, ive never met him but my mate hangs around with him and pete steele and the likes.

I skated with him back when I had just started he got tre's within like a week of skating , strange boy.

I skated there on Friday.. First time I've skated since they put the wembley gap in..
I must say the wembly gap splits up the park as 90% of the skaters can't go over it.. That was a good thing cos as you're skating one end you're not constantly interrupted by kids coming from the other end..
There are still some blocks to play on too which is good..

wow thats supurb

I found it a bit boring when I went the other week, cos no way can i do the wembly gap (too big) so i was just skating the little manny pad and blocks for ages. I cant skate mini either

All you need for that wembly gap is speed rob, down the big roll in, over the small driveway and up the wembly gap.

There were kids there who couldnt ollie high enough to get up the block/manny pad who were getting up the wembly gap with no problems.

Oh, bigger wheels help too

have they added some sort of safty barrier to the one side of it.. it kind of plays on the mind knowing that you could fling yourself off it if you miss a trick coming up. blindfallbail isnt my cup of tea

Im presuming you mean the roll in?

I loved doing tricks off the side of the wembley gap near te vert wall thingy.

They should just add an extention ramp over the wembly gap (obviously in just one small part!) so you can roll straight on and do the set/rail/ledge without losing speed. Plus if an annoying kid gets in the way you dont have to jump off your board and risk shin bashing

Pics of said wembly gap and stairset/hubba/rail...

I don't get the "open" thing . I've boardslided up the rail on the wembley gap :D

There's a nice lad who skates Blackpool all the time. I think Woody flows him.
He's got brown curly hair.. He's not one you you lot is he?


Ps When did you take the photos sken?

I didnt, i 'borrowed' them off woodys site.

Going there tomorrow (sunday) for the 4-9pm session should anyone want to join us

i mean added some sort of barrier where the guy in blue's standing. went yesterday and decided that its better they don't add one now because it would restrict the box there. Although you do have to think about the people sitting below there it doesnt look like it could stop a board too easily

I think a barrier needs to be added between the vert wall and the platform. I've nearly been hit by a flying board on more than one occasion and I've only skated there twice since the wembley gap has been there!

Yeah know what you mean, can get well dodgy at times with people skating the gap while you hurtle full speed at the vert wall into them

yeh true i did actually kick my board of that end once
an extension of the ledge would look good

I think they should move the vert wall and put flatblanks with blocks on the top along the side of where the hubba is and where the vert wall is now.

So much more could be done with that park with a little imagination

wtf? why is no-one here!?

:s

Threads come and go

Andy Hepple?

Always wears Jogging pants?

Yeah, I think that's him..

Ahh I skated with him back in the day.

Just been to Ramp City ... I have to say that it rocks. All the poeple I meet there were really friendly and the ramp ... I found out that on saturdays 10am-4pm bikes are not allowed, which may appeal to alot of you.

Needless to say, if you live near Blackpool, this is an excellent place to skate.

Some interesting comments on the park in that lot.
1st someone said "there's so much could be done with a little imagination" very true indeed and if you look how far the park has come in the last 4 years you can see we are trying to get there, but it all takes money.
2nd The vending machine work as well as any other i have ever used yes at times they nick your money but also remember this, so many kids try and pull a fast one "oi mister it nicked my money" in the hope of free drink or food. Who's he meant to believe?
3rd Unfortunalty where ever there is a large3 group of people there always going to be a small number that steal the wankers,but its your property so look after it. The park is fully CCTVed but even that don't stop it.
4th Safety rail on the Wembley gap .. deal with it. If there was one put on it would the restrict other people lines, There's a little saying " you can't please all the people all the time"
5th As for 90% of skater not being able to get up the gap, yes this might of been true when we built it, but not now the challenge was there and the people stepped up to it. Unless by 90% you mean me LOL because i cant
And NO i don't own the park but have done a lot of the work there, i try to keep the website up to date but have a lot of other stuff that takes priority over it i am afraid.

I value your comments BTW constructive or not

I understand the fact you can't believe every kid that says "it nicked my money" -And it does work occasionaly but playing it safe would mean not putting the money in, I know i'm not going to, every 50p Counts
I suppose it's the same for all vending machines, I'm not "hating" ramp-city , I love it a paradise when the heavens open, Which they do quite often.

[b]Dude... This is a S!CK park!!!



Not from UK (unfortunatly )

Its going to change, a lot, real soon

REALLY HOW???

Sken has matches.

????

Wait and see
