• Barnsley Distract hospital, the holy home and 2 and 3 sets of stairs and a sweet double curb that is rad for nose-slides, just been waxed with a new crazy maga wax. Also the town hall steps, Railways solicitors steps, Pioner in town across from KFC, boardslide block and truck grind spots, most schools and... ST PAULS CHURCH Is a main hang-out for skaters of all abilitys.

• Pilley has a tennis court which alot of people use to skate on.
• Carpet World - a few waxed curbs, walls, curb gaps and drops. Usual hook up spot. Princes Chippy Ledge - a decently high ledge with a good run up but the landing can be a bit shadey ( Hardcore Skaters only ) it has also been known for a few tweaked ankles. Town Hall Steps + blocks - Been skated to death through the generations of skaters, u will get kicked off by the police during the week and don`t let the Police cameras see u waxing the blocks. Social Security Blocks - A few knee high blocks quite rougth but can be enjoyable, especially on hot days ( its in the shade ). A few walls to drop in on. Alhambra Stairs + handrails - My favourite spot two sets of stairs paved in fancy red brick work with a few high and fast rails. Theres a few more spots but I can`t be arsed to continue if your intrested phone Goose on 07990927416.
