Skateboarding Spots

• Browns steps
• Don't go to the actual skate park, it's full of emo's and druggys, theres a great spond marks and spencer and another behind that huge hotel on the river, the one with that garfields restauraunt!
• Royal Victoria park has an ok skate park
• Vicky Park (Where the name Vicky Pollard came from in Little Britian)
• well, The skate park is ok but the route to it is better! Garfunkels set with rail, the 5 set next to indian food shop walcot street, circles, manual pads (avon street), avon street car park next to manual pads, ham gardens car park(next to bus station), the set opposite the Odeon the bridge in between homebase and vicky park is pretty nice, some nice curbs and stuff to skate there
• sik secret gap round the bak of odeon path leading up to lil grassy bit then wal then curb u gota be half decent to skate it
• Newbridge primary school is fun. Skatepark, but they have security cameras and a big green fence that makes it kinda suck though new stuff has been put in. a very tight 6 step (i think) can be found in the inner area of that big apartment block on landsdown road, its tight but good for a look.

• The schools are your best bet- Beechen Cliff(probably the best), KES, Some of the primary schools have nice low benches that slide, Ralph Allen and of course the UNI is brill if u can dodge the guards. Vicci park is only really good for the nice concrete block thats there. Green park market has a great 3 but only on Sundays after 4. Kingsmead 4 set. The 5 set by the old darkotics is pretty thin so you can only really ollie it, maybe kickflip. Homebase and Avon street have lots of alright curbs. Quasar ledges/gaps. Ther is a small undercover 3 set round the corner and round the corner from that is Mcdonalds and the block/circles. Garfunkels 7 set is really long. Thats pretty much it apart from a few secret spots but they are rubbish anyways.

• by pickfords there is a computer company, there is cctv but u can dodge them and experience the wide variety of steps ledges and gaps
• The circles outside mcdonalds, the manuel pads outside the college, uni pretty sweet. ramps r no good, full of bladers.
• 1)In the main part of the college, (next to The Hip), is a small ledge good for boardsliding, nosesliding etc. You may be kicked out during the day, but after 4pm no one gives a toss!! 2) In Parade gardens is a phat 5-set with little ledges either side sloaping down for any grinds your willing to do!! 3) Next to the Hobgoblin (pub), is a narli ledge for simly ollieing off,maybe even flips!! 4) By the side of where Quasar used to be are some mint ledges over gaps, there are 3, each different heights. 5) Around the corner from the Quasar ledges is a 2&3-set. Beside is some flat surface for flatland tricks.6) Near where the old Darkotics used to be there is a 5-set on the way, ( this is pretty simple!) If you go further down the road, after the 5-set, you can find a 6-set and a 3-set with a curb before it. 7) If you're planning to skate solid somewhere for a good few hours go to King Edwards School (KES), it has a 6-set, 5-set, double 4-set and more......

• vicci park!

• 'The Manual Pads' Round the back of the college

• best places to skate at bath uni 1 at the front of the south building its the square white building thats neer the lake ( look it up on a map of campus) are a series of nice ledges ranging from knee height to a bit smaller as well as a small set of stairs 2 if you walk staight past the south building you get to a building with two sets of stairs and hand rails down both these are a bit steep, also resting the bench down the stairs makes for some fun 3 skating under the main area of the uni is dodgy security is a frequent visitor unless you skate after 3 am in the morning however it has everything an inline skater or a skate boarder needs finally some info on bath unis security guards, the ledges of the south building are pratrolled every 20 to 30 minutes by security in a van after 8:00 it is usually just before or after the hour and again around half past the hour so it isn't very hard to avoid them + they hardly ever get out there vans so skate up a path and hide around the lake if you are spotted I hope this helps people spend as many happy hours as I do skating on campus after 8 oclock pm secrutity go to the night shifts this means they
• Round the back of the EMPIRE by the weir BIG STEPS WITH NICE HANDRAIL. NEWBRIDGE INFANTS (if you want to risk it!!!) MULTI-STOREY CAR PARK (next to bus station) Finally.....
