Rough bowl-thing to be investigated.....

Dodgy looking local bowl to investigate once the rain clears up - look like it might be a good quiet spot to have a sk8 at....

Re: Rough bowl-thing to be investigated.....

That's the sort of shit looking spot you have the most fun on! Grab some 95a wheels and you'll still have speed but the roughness will be less. Bones DTF's are good on stuff like that (Ditch Tech Formula).

Re: Rough bowl-thing to be investigated.....

I may need some jelly cubes to fashion in to wheels!

It is in Dunfermline, Scotland - no idea when it was built though!

(Built is a bit of a strong word though, tiddlywinks is certainly more of an apt description for... whatever it is).


I'll let you know how it is when I get a shot at it.

Cheers,

Re: Rough bowl-thing to be investigated.....

I like it, it looks old school. Makes me want to fill it with chips and dip though...
I always keep a supply of serum handy in case I see a snake, which I also keep handy.

That's the water feature left in the grounds after they demolished the stately home. Where has the bronze Eros gone from the center?

Definitely crack the old elbow pads out before skating this one. Looks like it could easily remove a good chunk of flesh :)

Old water feature?? That's exactly what skating is all about. Finding something that was not intended for skating ~..
What are the planning to do?? Fill it in, refurb?? Hope you get to skate it.

Scarily, this IS a designated skate spot. Don't know when it was built but it is listed as a skateboard facility on the local council website.
Go figure!

Re: Rough bowl-thing to be investigated.....

I reckon you could generate some speed of the trannies, maybe pop some ollies/airs over the volcano, do a couple of nosepickers on that rail.

The possibilities are definitely growing the more you look at it. ..-

Such a shame, that place looked amazing. Far better than some of the dross about these days. Wish more of these relics existed.
