Bristol Sk8er Thread

Is it easy enough to find churchdown? I work up that way so might have to get a lunchtime practice in!

That one looks fun! Yeah I remember making a mental note when it was built but then forgot, i guess we hadn't seen much in the way of pics of footage. i want!

Yep Phil easy enough to find and you can park right next to the park. Trev dont know if you have been to Porthcawl yet but the deep bowl is very similar to that one. Just not so easy as Porthcawl to get lines into the bowl.

Aye Porthcawl is definitely on my list too but a bit further yeah? Not been. Maybe when we can be certain of weather.

Will be hitting this park mostly around friday lunchtime when the weathers more relable so will let you know when

Up Churchdown this morning if anyones passing by

Cookie and Lecky, it was good skating with you at Churchdown this morning. I'll keep an eye on this forum for when you're out and about and come skate again if that's cool.

Yep good to meet you and welcome to the forum .Will always be posting on here where we are going and lots of like minded people aswell when they get skatiing again.

Yep Forest good to meet you. Your welcome to hook up with us anytime you like.

Might hit winterbourne in the morn if it aint too cold and icy

Hi Guys,

Been a long time, sorry about that. Anything happening in the Bristol area this weekend. Gonna try and make it out if possible.

Churchdown this afternoon (Friday) (me and Lecky) if anyone is about come on up.

Aww no way, that park looks sick. I'm not gonna be able to get the afternoon off i'm sorry to say.

Have a good skate though and will catch up soon.

Evs

Weather is looking ok for tomorrow.......

May venture a visit to Peghill.

Not sure if I'll make the 07:00 start but maybe 07:30....... ish

Cool, all being well should be there about 7.30ish myself.

Evs - wet in thornbury

Good to see you posting up, will be doing more this year now the house is livable so keep am eye open.

Campus was good although compact, mini half pipe, flat ramp, 7ft ramp and a quater fun box. Good because it is indoor and hence a definate. One of the quieter nights there would be good.

Thanks Tony. Yeah, it's a little damp and gray here but not soaking. May go up and take a look, as I'm up and it's not too far for me.

Will be deffo out a lot more this year, so will meet up with you at some point for sure.

No sk8in for me at the mo as got recurring man flu probably from surfing last sunday.

Get yourself sorted mate, this solo skating is getting boring. Although I did have a rather splendid time at Shoreham today.

Still feeling shit but over the worse i hope ,also got the van back now so have transport

Hooray!
First real skate session since September yesterday with Cookie at Yate ...
.. you don't forget, it's just like riding a bike!

Hey Andy - how you doing? Long time no see mate, why the long absence?

and how was the trek up the mountain you were training for go

Long absence due to ligament and knee injury from last year - old age: when you get injured it just takes ages to heal.
Mountain trek was postponed and is now in September ... as long as I don't get ligament and knee injuries!
Anyway, good to hear from you chaps, hope you're ok and maybe even skating?

''We'll meet again some sunny day''
maybe fri or sun
Who knows one day we might all go to the same place at the same time

Dont bank on it lol. I'm working in Torbay on Friday, so no chance of getting back so might stop and have a look at the Newton Abbot park.

Might take a trip up to churchdown 2moro afternoon

Good to hear you are rolling again Andy.

I'll be looking forward to repeating some of the early morning sessions - bound to catch up soon.

Will probably hit churchdown again 2moro or could do norton cookie if your heading back that way.

Any early Saturday morning skateboarding happening this weekend?

I'm intending to have an early morning skate on Sunday 6.30am - 8am at Peghill, which is quite early but I've got kids rugby/football after that. Can't make Saturday morning.
Andy

Hi And, hope things are all good man.

I can't do Sunday morning, got a stag do saturday, so things are gonna get messy.

Will catch up another weekend though.

Take it easy.

Sorry Andy - couldn't make Sunday and was late catching up on MAS to let you know early. How was the skate?

Laid up the last two weeks - bright sunshine Fit and well - looks like winter is coming back

Season is early yet

Any of you guys fancy getting out this bank holiday weekend? What about an early one Friday morning? Yate?

What sort of time is early fella? Im a Peg Hill virgin so would like to pop my cherry so to speak.

It looks knarly, but too much too soon I wonder?!

You will be fine, early for me is 8:30ish maybe earlier, early for And and WoodyAJ is more like 7am

Anyone going anywhere friday morn could do an early start

Yes mate - I intend on getting up Yate early doors Friday if the Cookie crew are still in town? Weather looks a bit ropey today but supposed to be better tomoz by the looks!

Stamper, Lecky and Me have decided to make an early start and head down to Midsommer. Probably gonna aim to get there 8:30ish.
Worth the drive if you fancy it. If you do go to Yate you can park on the road (Peghill) right next to the park.
WoodyAJ, And any of guys wanna hook up for an early morning ride down to Midsomer? You know it makes sense.

One parks the same as rest to the un-initiated

Midsomer I up then

Excellent mate, there is a very big difference between Yate and Midsomer believe me. I'll PM you my number incase you have any problems finding it.

I'm in Bristol this weekend, i guess there is a remote possibility it may be dry........... if this miracle comes to pass it is my intention to head down filton early doors ish (9ish) on sunday morning, be cool too meet up if the sun comes out

Lecky and Me might go somewhere in the morning if by some miracle it is dry. Will let you know where. Probably not Filton though.

Alright! I'll check back in thee mornin'

Winterbourne in a minute

Metal mini session this morning.

I looked out the window at 11ish this morning and said "yeah i should go skating but i'm not, I'm a fool to myself" hope you had a good one ...................next time

Yep we did have a good session 8:30 to about 11:45, but I had more injuries than I think I have ever got in one session before, nothing life threatening but I am suffering now. Did seem to get the backside 50-50 to fakie nailed though. And props to Lecky who nailed a backside 5-0 to fakie (someone tell me the name for em)

Will be hitting Churchdown or MSN on friday if dry otherwise local if showery.

Churchdown dawnie before the showers

Sorry mate DIY day for me If by some miracle Monday morning is dry I will be out.

If miracles do happen, drop us a line

Ye gods............
Actually managed a skate yesterday. Arrived at Peghill 07:00, swept up and in the bowls by 07:15

Just sooo good to get back on the board, nothing adventurous - just a catch up on old moves.

Last minute decision to skate and hence the lack of post

Fingers crossed for more sessions at Peghill.

Well done WoodyAJ, hope to see you there soon. I was slacking yesterday morning, really should have had a session, DIY took me though.

Good to hear from you Mr C - looking forward to Norty.

In the mean time the weather is looking good for a roll around Peghill in the morning

I may even attempt to do Sunday as well

Looking to get there for around 7ish myself WoodAJ, much in need of a roll about.

Good to see you Evs and catch up.

Nice gentle roll around for an hour or so before the ankle biters arrived in numbers.

Weather looks promising for tomorrow. May even be a danger of a double skate weekend.

Gonna work on those axle stalls

Good to catch up with you today guys. Chuffed to bits with the progress on the axle stalls - 50/50s.
Inverts were lookig good Mr C. and Leckys air in the blue had the kiddies gawping.

The path is long that one must tread; to master inverts I might recce that path later in the season

Good session.

Weather report said showers - pain in the @rse..... Could be wet at home but dry at Peghill and visa versa.

Going to pop over anyway, sweeping up by 07:30.

See if I can get those axle stalls nailed
