Thought I would start this section so we can look in one place at who's doing what where in the area.I'll be heading somewhere in the morning for a casual sesh probably winterbourne ,let the games begin

Good to ave you back on board Mr C hope the aches avnt kicked in yet.Vids came out fine but look too tame to post at the mo so will have to get some more skating in.Managed to find that tripod bit at home thank fcuk ready for next time.

Yep good bash yesterday, and yes I am aching all over today, but got a smile on my face.
Cant do Wed night how about Thurs if it dont rain? Corsham anyone?

Think the boys are planning to be there Thursday, not sure of my plans at the moment so don't know if it will be early or late for me! Lights are on til 9.35 now although its still getting damp if the dew point is reached on one side of the park.

Could be a goer for thurs depending on what transport ive got

new indoor park in yesterdays paper

http://www.thisisbristol.co.uk/Indoor-s ... story.html

That's the new Campus indoor park. I work with someone who knows Andre really well and currently trying to blag us a bit of a private session. Will keep you all updated

OK Corsham Thursday night if the weather is kind, and fingers crossed maybe Steve can sort us out an indoor bash.

Far too sensible Mr Leck-meister........... All the Bristol skaters posting up on the same thread.

Cool, will keep any eye open on this one.

Thursday at Corsham, what time does the fun usually start?

Looks ok for 2moro do you know whereabouts it is

Tony I've never been there and Lecky no I'm not sure where it is. Surferscoob is our man on the inside so hopefully he can give us some more info. I'm guessing though we need to be there by 6:30 ish to avoid the dew settling later on.

Quite easy to find the park, take the A4 from Chippenham to Corsham at the McDonalds roundabout. Straight accross the traffic lights by the Cross Keys. Turn Left at the Hare and Hounds roundabout, then right at the mini roundabout. Take the first left, follow road until the tight left hander and turn right, go round to the back of the car park and skate park is a shiny beacon for weary skaters on the left

6.00 to 6.30 is probably best although some nights it can be okay right til lights out. Will try to get up for a quick early session but got to fly around 7.00

Ok I will aim for 6 if possible. Edit: Just looking on google, it's right by some tennis courts?

Thats it...... be prepared to ride the worst transitions in Britain though

Its raining at the mo

Just rained here too, might be a no goer. But it is looking ok for the rest of the day. How well does it dry off up there?

I think the rain is coming from my direction (Swindon) - sunny here now and starting to dry off. I usually rely on park reports from Scoob before I drive to Corsham. Might chance it tonight tho. I need another evening of failing to do anything significant on a stunt-plank

Surferscoob if you think it is going to be dry over there tonight can you let us know. Starting to dry off here in Yate.

Scoob says its wet

Gonna give this a miss traffics piling up round here for some reason 2moro looks much more inviting and less hassle hope you can make it
Just seen above

Thanks for the update Scoob/arieltt
I'm in Bath tomorrow, should be able to get free by lunch timeish, fancy Vic Park Lecky? Anyone? Or if not Yate?

Got to see whos car i can pinch but might do Y8 or some more miniramp action will text 2moro.

No time left to hit bath ended up at Bradley Stoke for some new trick practice .How did you get on and who's doing what in the morn.

I got a bash at Bath in with Rich and a dude called Mark, just the three of us, all good. I wouldn't mind doing Churchdown in the morning but I think it will be damp first thing, maybe the secret mini again? Anyone else?

Shit it looks like it could be a bit cold will av to see how icy it is in the morn

Come on, I'll bring torchy, mop and towels, we'll have it dry in 20mins.

COMING BY EASTER NEARBY
Will text 2moro bout skating

Dont tell me that's going to be inside Filton Rec centre.
I couldn't be arsed this morning, but might be free for an hour or so tomorrow (Monday) afternoon if anyone is about. Got to go to Warminster in the morning.

I've had on and off lurgy this week so wasnt gonna risk it yesterday .Parks gonna be near for both of us thats your next clue so start searching

COMING BY EASTER NEARBY

Indoor or outdoor, Lee?

I like this game... Winterbourne? I am assuming by the pic it is indoors.
Wonder if Corsham could be on this week? Wed?
Edit: done some internetting... is it Fromeside Youth Centre?
Edit..again..Yes Winterbourne http://www.facebook.com/pages/Fromeside ... 9441643075 Maybe we should be offering some help or support?
Have you seen some of the other designs? We should push them for this one

Good sniffing inspector Cook ,thought it wouldn't take you long .Might av to pop over there and have a look sometime see whats going on.Never knew they had some diy ramps in there for a couple of years

Probably under 25's only, but maybe we can offer some help/support in return for a bit of access time.
Dont look like an evening session is gonna be possible again tonight due to the rain. Hopefully we will get out to Corsham at least once this winter.
Got to get something sorted with this campus place, come on Steve sort us out will ya.

Gents, willing to give some time to the indoor build if they need some help.

Timing isn't great - by Easter everyone will be outside and not paying for an indoor.

Possible keynsham 2moro aftnoon

Yep it's looking dry, Keynsham from 1pm

Nice to have the park scooter free and with just a couple of skaters today .Cookie hows your butt have the spasms gone yet

I'm going to leave this thread if you mention sessions ending in butt spasms.........

Funny little park that.. Keynsham.

what prompted the Keynsham sesh guys - something wrong with Filton?

Seems to be overun with even more scooter twats even in school time .Made it my mission to get around a variety of parks this year especially on fridays as i'll be taking alot of those days off.

I was working in Bath in the morning, and needed to give my daughter a lift home (she goes to City of Bath college) so it made sense, twas a good session, I think the 3 months off of bowl riding caused some kind of weird 'Bum Cramp' lol, but dont worry Tony I wont be mentioning it again and Lecky it's fine now if you or anyone else fancies Sunday morning.

Any of you guys up for a birthday session at the indoor place?

viewtopic.php?f=1&t=25981

Might be tempted.. maybe something outdoors in the day if it's dry eh?

p.s. not my birthday.. it's nowhere near cold enough yet!

I'm going to be there if Phil will have me. Not been to this place yet Trev, but it looks ok for a session.

Edit: Anyone know if the park at Henbury is worth a visit?

Cool! Would be good to session somewhere new. Plus my partner's daughter and her BF live in Brissle so a trip for us both!
Will check dates with her.. if not it might be me on my tod.

Cool! . if not it might be me on my tod.

Dont worry Paul we will look after you.

Never been there mate - thought you were talking about Hengrove for a minute. Found the pics below - looks a bit street plaza - bit pointless for me seeing as my ollie won't get me up a curb, let alone anything higher



Have you been down to Dame Em recently? I've heard they've re-done the bottom section since they removed the half pipe.

More crete for brizzle , whereabouts are you friday cookie looks like it could be dry.

Friday working in Brizzle (up on the triangle) so hopefully I can be done by lunchtime, can go anywhere from there, Horfield maybe? or how about The Deaner? Hengrove? or Filton if chav free. Anything really as long as I get a SK8.
Edit: and if wet we could try and blag a few hours at Motion.

Is it still possible to get in to skate Motion? That would be great if I'm up that way, I love those ramps, proper challenge eh.

Motion aint what it used to be but better than nothing

Cookies post knee op bowl run ,its looking good

Cheers Leckster. That new camera is looking good. Cant believe the quality from something so small.

Looking good mate - a little stiff perhaps...you're normal flowing motion is looking a little stilted but pretty fucking impressive for someone who just recovered from surgery. Fucking typical - the bloke with only one good leg can still skate much better than me

You attending Phil's birthday bash at Campus, boys?

I think there were rumblings from them about the birthday jam.
I'm hoping to make it up too.. must be a couple of things we can skate either side of it too.
New bit at Dame Em looks good. Filton.. I don't care really. Lots I haven't skated up there.

I've managed to blag the afternoon off work so looking forward to it. Could hit somewhere before and somewhere else after if the weather is reasonable. Dame Em is literally around the corner but none of the decent parks are too far away in Bristol.

Yep I'm going to Phils bash, Steve you do know it's a Sunday? Maybe you work Sundays though.

Yep I'm going to Phils bash, Steve you do know it's a Sunday? Maybe you work Sundays though.

I do indeed work Sunday's but have taken a little annual leave to be able to be there. Paid to skate...even when I'm not in work...loving it

Have PM'd Phil for a place, fingers crossed.

Either way I'll keep any eye on the thread for a skate either side of it.

Nice cold sesh at Churchdown this morn good to see rich still doin his thing

Thanks again for filming Lecky. A good session this morning nice to finally hit Churchdown, defo got to get back there.
