Skateboarding Spots

• the recently built tesco has 1 or 2 gaps but the landings pavent shortly followed by busy road luckily this can be stopped by having su1 pressin the trafficlights.
• too old now ive hit 30, learnt how to pop an olly now just watch 'the kids' and feel old but aldi and kfc seem to be popular
• why bother using the properly ramped up areas on west park when you can hang out round the grease bins and dead rats behind KFC?
• On Waveley Street on the retail park, (but dont annoy the shoppers) best of a summer evening perhaps, West Park,
• near asda theres the council house got a nice flight o' stairs wiv a concrete banister type thing that cud do wiv a bit of waxing n there's a couple of benches n things to try n grind
• we have the worst skate park in europe don't we?
• You can't miss the store 'Kwik Save', outside that is a car park (yeah, you've gona through the wrong exit) and a small area of smooth concrete, with a small bank, walls, benches, and even a metal bench which is smooth enough to slide and grind. It's located next to a barbers called Boyz which is right next to a skate shop, The Rush. If you DO find West Park Skate Park, fuck it. It sucks. It was voted one of the worst skate parks EVER by Sidewalk Mag.

• west park leisure centre car park. aldi car park blockbuster car park. skatepark? in long eatonyou are joking right???
• okay, like the hookup spot, kfc and aldi are good. boots carpark has some good rails that are a step up from the ones behind aldi. the townhall has a sloping curb (that i waxed and someone came and ruined it by soaping it)theres also 4 steps at the town hall. there a 10 set next to push&pedal(watch for the old man in the scummy flats cos he threatens to set his dog on you) on the other side of the fountain, theres a set of 6 followed by a set of 5. behind that, between two buildings theres a set of 7. behind COOP at the goods entrance theres a set of 2 or 3 with a short curb after. the new asda carpark is so smooth. theres the newest bit,(go right as you enter the premises) its a good 2' wide and 3' high. its slopes with a fence in the middle. iuts pretty phat.sawley has a poor scene. there used to be a few skaters that came from there but theres like 2 left...blissy and me. soon theres gonna be the skatepark on west park. its meant to be ready for the end of march-start of april-2001. i cant wait for that because my friends in 6th form were the ones that designed it so i know it looks phat.
