You can tell us more about Bude.

• BENTS GAP IS DEAD: there is now wooden fences round the bent gap spot so its made it harder to skate now
• My secret spot
• There is now a proper concrete skate park at Crooklets. FREE but you are supposed to bring your own hat and padding.
• "New Estate" The estate behind Splash swimming pool. A small 5 set with 2 small waxed ledges.
• OK- WHERE IS THE SKATEBOARD EVENT ON THE 8TH JULY 2006?? i kno its widemouth, (and i think ther are some other places) in bude, cornwall, but i dont kno aexactly where as i am a local- but im hopefully going down to cornwall this summer and i desperately want to see the skateboarding event. could any1 tell me where it is (perhaps with a map also?) and whether you have to pay anything for competing or spectating please/?? Thanx!! (i kno this site isnt meant to be used for this- but i NEED TO KNO!!) dee
• The Skateboard park is down on the edge of Crooklets Car Park - the competition is annual in July and in 2005 it was bigger than ever, in town, down the main high street, Belle Vue and up at Widemouth Bay - great fun a real event - people came from miles around to participate and spectate
• Big ass 10 stair rail by the surf club. long 4 in the crescnt car park. The good ol' "BENTS gap". of course the skatepark. THe light a bust im afraid.Thats about it unless u wanna skate a HUGE double like a 20 at the school.
• Skate park at crooklets the light project has some gaps and benches and stuff
• the ramp may be gone but theres a spanking new park at crooklets beach, dont expect much but there is a ramp and cuople of boxes and stuff.
• ramp behind splash but check the new park at crooklets beach
• The Ramp is gone ( May 99) !! Rumour has it that new stuff is planned, but we'll have to wait and see.
• As well as the ramp there is a spot known as the Blocks. This consists of concrete ledges (waxed of course) of varying heights and lengths. here are also benches and a couple of Drops/stairs + a rail (very high barely nose slidable and kinked).
• There is a new spined mini ramp at Bude and yes it is a fine ramp! The main section is 3' high and 12' wide - ideal for tricks. Cross over the spine and you travel up a 5' extension which enables you to then build up loads of speed to wind up a huge ollie/flip/grab on the transfer back over. It has been in existence for over a year [Jan 1997] and after heavy sessioning from people as far and wide as Playing Place to Barnstaple it has been re-done with new coping and varnish - this ramp is WOOD not Rareunit. Also plans are afoot to build a street course next to it (or at least a funbox). Directions: go to Bude, head towards Safeway, go into swimming pool car park, there it is!
• Ramps by Splash Swimming Pool, and outside Surf Club at Crooklets.
