Inside Information

• Blackpool bandstand is the place where a lot of skaters hang about, including myself however during the sumer time we also head over to Stanly Park. :) Its all good.

• THE TACHE IS FUCKIN ACE!! its full of plenty of hot guys n girls   
• Outside Boots   
• THE BANNY- on the promenade across from woolworths. we used to hang round back when i was about 15, and I heard my younger sister meetin her skater mates there a couple of weeks ago.. must still be a "cool place" to hang out   
• Collegaite Layby, Senitaf, Banny usually   
• poker at my house on a friday.   
• The courts near the miners home was a great place to get pissed and have a laugh. gets boring tho cos ppl get grim.   
• the banny is a good place 2 hookup

• Crossland Road Park. Stanley Park Sk8 Park. South Pier. Mereside shops.   
• Nimrod's bedroom; this most relaxing venue, boasts on suite pipes and papers, plus some of the most tasteful decor ever seen in this most tasteful of towns. Entrance is by invitation only, but if you come down to B'pool and skate the banny on a saturday afternoon, an uplifting evening can be aranged. The usual suspects frequent this pleasure palace:Nimrod, Nige, Ted, Dave, Steve,etc. However, a policy of B.Y.O. is firmly (ish) in place, but the latest 411 normally suffices. S.G.   
• Just the Town Centre or the Pleasure Beach in the summer   
• West Coast Rock Caf, the corner table.   
• The bandstand?   
• Stanley SK8 Park coz the bandstand sucks when it's windy !

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If you disagree with a comment, or information is out of date, please submit an update!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.
