• Skaters carpoark...mmm... The carpark next to Queen's park. We had a flat near there above nick humphries which nearly became a cultural hangout in itself. And I wonder if the Beehive Derby still happens. Race in pairs and skate down the Beehive Lane carpark ramps.

• Fairfield is gettin hot man, Jez is being done for trespass and crim damage!
• the university is a great place to skate loads of stairs and hand rails to ledges and cheap beer, but watch out for security. Although a funny chase it can be anoying unless youre a student then they don't mind. you might even see greg jew famouse for playing whith his draydel.
• different skaters go to different places, try opposite the coffee pot for some more urban ones, then theres southfields that has about 8 people who actually skate the ramps, the half pipe was extended so its used more, some people go to quorn to their half pipe, its deadly like the one in shepshed, which has a bmx trak too, then theres bigger ones in leicester and of course Derby Storm
• SOUTHFIELDS PARK it might not seem much but its what you make of it
• Outside the EHB steps
• bein a concerned 14 yr old (ha) who hasn't a clue how to use the internet so im sorry if this messagey thing is goin to the wrong place erm where the hell did the rush go??? that baldy guy with the beard is well fit.
• The Skatepark In Southfields, Which Has Just been done up Features a 4 1/2 Foot High (roughly) Mini Ramp Which Is Rather nice, Also With A flatbank into the funbox with a double rail, also with some weird step things that are pointless
• At the back of the college is a wall with a rail wedged on top handcrafted by some skatin sculpture students at the uni.good for bladers
• ***erm there regular is...southfields skate park is utter shit its a great place just to do a few tricks and met up with friends and find sum other places. skaters also hang out by the pay loo at granby street..dont know why but theres also a big crowd. Also by the new estate up by woodbrook high skool. thers always the usuals there.
• New small skate park - Southfields park. Launch ramp, grind rail and funbox.
• BMX SPOTS- METAL LEGDE NEAR FERRARI GARAGE, NOTTINGHAM ROAD. HAVE A NICE CHAT WIV BLOKE FROM SUNNYSIDE HOTEL HE HE HE TESCO RAILS SAINSBURYS BANKS SOUTHFIELDS LUMP OF METAL (IF U DON'T MIND KILLING YOUR SELF) THE BENCH, NANPANTAN ROAD CLAYHILLS TRAILS COLLEGE UNIVERSITY (KICKS ASS) RAIL BEHIND COLLEGE KFC- IF U WANNA GET MUGGED IT'S ALL PRITTY RANK.
• southfeilds park in the town centre has the smallest sk8 park in briton (steel fun box,pathetic rail and a kind of bank thing with coaping down the sides.cheers for nothing loughborough council...........but watch this space....if any cares). oh the college is sweet to sk8 in but be on your toes..
• Some skaters hang round Queens park and the car park next to it. Also you can usually find some at Sothfields skate park (it's shit).
• There's a new ramp in southfiels park.
• The new skate thingy in southfields is in fact, a waste of time. There's a weird fun box, tiny rail and a weird wallride style ramp... £10,000 my ass... Burleigh / Garendon is a cool spot, loads of stairs, ledges and benches.. Cobden school is often overlooked but it has quite a few benches, nice long wall, and a couple of steps... The new KFC / shopping centre place is cool, although the floor is bricked (probably to stop skateboarders) but it's still quite skateable... The library isn't bad, watch out for psychotic librarians...
• If you are lookin for a really good place to have a fag and a skate with some cool people, rawlins community college is best place,the boarders hang around there on fridays and it rules.they've always got some gring rails there or something.But if your lookin to score with the skaty chicks,there all taken!
• Skaters Carpark methinks will be getting a new name. the corner of the carpark next to Queens park affectionally referred to as the aforementioned name is in danger of being eclipsed by its newest arrival. the amazing porta loo. it speaks and shoots water, all for the bargain price of twenty pence. so whos off skating down by the loo?
• Granby st car Park has one huge waxed curb one small waxed curb and tons of skaters sesh it everynight including Duncan from the rush, Ash, Both the Jaggers dan brown McCarthy. And Tons Of others who I can't remember right now apart from us younguns like Me dan wright tim culling Lee Cook and also it is a great meeting place for all us Guys and Gals. Also there is the new regents place shoppin centre with a double wide curb for boardslides 9 stairs to olly (fuck they are Rad) I have only ried these twice to date cuz they are scary as Fuck. The graveyard near the three nuns lots of slanted gravestones to wall ride.
• the locals are some serious hard core mothers (see local heros) which is suprising as there's an OBVIOUS LACK of skate spots. years of promises of a skatepark from the local council are still to come to fruition (but they'll spent 20k on a bronze sculpture!). barclaey block is a fun little ledge, but i fear for its safety after seing surveyers nearby! skate the university hard and get chased off by security 5 minutes later.
• Beacon Bingo Steps
• Sainsburys has a few rails as do most car parks.
• Low rails outside Tesco Superstore.
• Burleigh School (waxed curbs, steps, handrails, manual curbs), Grammar School, Texas.
• Fairfields School (next to grammar school) well rad - Low benches, lots of kickers, picnic tables, the dogs bollox! Bit of a twat around to get in though.
• Sainsburys, waxed curb, set of three stairs, and strange set of four stairs at front, nice steep wall-ride type banks.
  Sainsburys is the best. Perfect floor for kick-flips the lot. Jumping over trolleys.
