Skate Parks - 18:52 05 Oct 04 I know most of us haven't ventured onto ramps and half pipes yet, but do you know where any local skate parks are?

i've seen a few, but do you know any, and what features have they, you know the sort of thing, how many ramps, 1/4 pipes, half pipes, how big and whether they have grind rails etc..

Re:Skate Parks - 11:59 06 Oct 04 You will never get me on a ramp..... actually i did try it once but didn't get vary far and really wasn't helped by having the wrong blades

There is quite a good skate park in Sandhurst but it gets very busy there. There is also a little known half pipe in watchetts park that is hardly ever used that I would recommend.

Dan Feel so much better for a skate tonight, still can't talk but enough energy to go back to work tomorrow

Re:Skate Parks - 12:19 06 Oct 04 Cool, might have to find one where i can get advise on dropping in, i can just see myself splatting into the base of the ramp instead of gliding effortlessly!

Re:Skate Parks - 19:48 14 Oct 04 is it really crucial to have the right blades tho, or can you just hop 'n' hope

Re:Skate Parks - 10:39 15 Oct 04 Hi Tom,
rec skates probably couldn't take a regular outing on ramps, plus the wheel base is a bit long and may hinder the ability to turn, so Aggresives are better, but FSK's can take the punishment as long as they aren't your main skates for park work

Oh, and Welcome to the forums!!

Re:Skate Parks - 22:58 13 Nov 04 Woking's got a good outdoor skate park by the leisure centre and there's a metal half-pipe in the middle of Goldsworth Park where I bust my wrist last year!

I've done ramps in aggressives but I find that that my Crossmax's do the job too. You'll find aggressives easier to learn to drop in on because of the "grind" gap you normally get between the wheels which sits nicely on the coping at the top of a ramp before you drop in. Jagshemash!

Re:Skate Parks - 14:06 13 Dec 04 you can take rec skates onto a ramp but you will go too fast as the bearings are to good, and you can co some stuff like sit in and drop in but no grinds and super cool tricks..

and theres a skate park in farnborough near the leisure centre and a skate park in sandhurst but i dont know where, there building one in crabtree park near sainburys. i went through a agressive skating phase, cracked my head open got a helmet and then a couple weeks later i gave up as it was to hard. .

Re:Skate Parks - 21:38 04 Jun 05 There's a hidden skate park in Camberley. On the street before the bridge (near lydia's street) there is a road you turn into and a car park (I THINK it's next to a building company place) go through a little wooden gate, follow the path and there's a skate park!
The other week I went there and I hadn't been down a half pipe for years and I fell straight on my butt. That's why at skating in little man wars whenever I go down you might here me go, "aaaaaoooow my butt" - that's why!
