BMX Trails, Street Spots

• theres plenty in and around stoke i think. youve just got to look a bit. obvious ones include the industry museum in hanley the train staition in stoke has pretty big flat bank to rail at one end. britania stadium has a few bits and pieces and is really quiet (except match days). keele uni stuff everywhere be careful of the security though.
• not sure the city is crap 4 bmx
• Trentham Park
• One of the best MBike trails is through the back of Trentham hills down the bank into the park, its a slog off the main road upto the top but the drop down by the side of the caravan park is well worth it, TURN LEFT after the tree root jump and head into the woods for some good trick trails, Watch the red sock mob though with their walking stick shouting abuse. Also try hanchurch woods, watch the riders theough, the bloody head cases put trees across the path to jump, hit one once and bust 3 ribs.

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If you disagree with a comment, or information is out of date, please submit an update!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