Skateboarding Spots
  • the station coop brickmakers arms (pub) jubalie center shithole skatepark
  • Small skatepark with quarter pipe, flatbank, fun box, couple of rails, benches. Metal with tarmac floor-unfortunately we have a kiddie problem and little children use it as a playground.
  • What happened to the 'place specially built' for skate boarders. This was promised in the Parish magazine some time ago?
  • I luv sk8in, they are buildin a park now down lavander hall lane, (the date is 20/10/01) no shops though, nearest 1 in solihull. there r loads of WACKED hils, from Dale Meadow Clode (full on, really steep, 50mph hill) to Speedwell Drive (slow but steady hill, then steady drop faster than dalemeadow) and The Grange new housing estate (OOAOAOAOAAHAHAHHA... nice, smooth tarmac!!!) thats about it...
  • Solihull Council are building a skateboard area in the new park in Balsall Common, the entrance is in Lavender Hall Lane. It is hoped to be completed in October
  • Not known for it. There are some people in remarkably baggy trousers so it is about, just not apparent.
  • umm, again i wish there was......cause there's loads of wicked little skaters, i used to see in the shop, they deserve somewhere..cause they could be really good, if they had somewhere to practice!
  • No proper skateboard spots but you can often meet people on them or go to the tennis courts and piss about in the car park there!
  • balsall may be getting a park cus us ( the BALSALL ZOO ) have been trying for one. there is a smooth tennis courts and the zoo have built a ramp (phat airs produced sick!) we have a angled iron p.e bench and a phat rail so its not radlands but its good and has produced 5 sick skaters as a result. balsallzoo.4dw.com
  • Nowhere really, just go along the pavements and hope not to kill too many old women. All of the parks (2 of them) are shite for that sort of thing so its best to go out to Cov or elsewhere.
