• There are lots of nice places to skate in Ashton and about 5-10 people that skate regulary, if you need help just hanga round eddies on the weekends and you will prolly run into these fellows. --==WHEN ITS WET==-- In ashton when its raining, go to the old barn and full pipe. We use old washing machines to grind and old tyres to ollie. Eddies used to have a small area that was under cover. I think its gone now, used to have some steps and benches that you could slide.m I think thats it ! --==When its dark==-- Canny school, they have night classes...flood lights and the lot ! Canny school, when the lights are off go round the back, over a blue fence and there is a small drop with good lighting, they keep the lights on to make it seem like someones home !, but we kno this is all lies. Quicksave carpark is light, but watch out they have fat people that beleive they are some form of police. If they see you makin a green smoke, they will take it off ya..
• St edmond harrosmith skool, is wicked for skatebaording. 4,5 steps.banks.gaps.bins etc. Byrchall is a shit school for both learning and skateboarding. It has a 6 step with rail and a nice wall ollie on the "new" building, thats all it has. Cansfield is a good skool to skate got a few gaps and a big 3 step. Nothing beats eddies tho, its like a skatepark. Quicksave has some plant gaps, Ozzies ( local skool ) is ok but soon to be blowm away for a new supermarket. YES new skate spot. ermm..greensway 5 step is nice and theres a 7 round the back but u need to actually start off in the shop to get to the steps. The full pipe in haydock as you head towards newton is very good, there is always tramps and pedophiles there willing to help you out.

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If you disagree with a comment, or information is out of date, please submit an update!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