BMX Trails, Street Spots

• this is the main reason why im writing in there arent any places to go riding there are places like victoria park and they arent finished off or if they are then theyve done a bit of a rubbish job of it theres rally park which is ok to go to but alot of dodgy people go down there and you can easily get your sweets robbed if u know wat i mean. someone got his bike robbed down there a couple of weeks ago and the insurance didnt cover it because he wasnt "manhandled" off the bike which i know is the insurance companys fault but this boy dont doesnt dare go down there anymore which is a real bummer.there should be more spots where people can dig ramps because everywhere we dig get wrecked by the council even if it isnt anywhere in the way if you want people to stop digging every where up then the council should put up some more dirt parks or skate parks that actually work and ones that dont get burned or robbed (a.k.a) kirby muxloe skate park)ok thats about all i can say.

The Knowhere Guide started out as a list of places to skateboard in the UK. It is a compilation of (unedited) information and views supplied by users like yourself. It is not a conventional tourist guide!

In most cases, the information in each section has been submitted by more than one contributor (the credits at the bottom of the page list some, but not all, of the contributors) and some of it dates back to the 1970s.

We make no claims as to the accuracy of the information in the Guide - our only purpose is to provide a forum for users to share their knowledge and opinions. So please keep a large bag of salt handy and be prepared to read between the lines!

If you disagree with a comment, or information is out of date, please submit an update! The contributors come from all walks of life, and their opinions are bound to be subjective, so if your view isn't represented, please speak up and contribute to the balance of the Guide. See below in the 'Have Your Say' section for how to add your voice.

If we have helped you out or made you laugh you can buy us a pint.
