Skateboarding Spots

• Yep its got one that I found, no community wall tho...
• We have a skate park opposite the college, was recently cleaned up & made a better place by the local council.
• Culver Street car park if it's raining... oh and outside the college too if it's bad weather. In the sunshine the sk8 park is great if you like big stuff or otherwise evenings outside the guildhall can be a good place to show off.
• im shocked that shop-mo hasnt been mentioned. Well its sainsbury's car park basically, but the bit outside shop mobility. Follow the signs, you'll get there. Dont go in working hours (9-5) or you'll get kicked off after about 5 minutes. To be honest tho, salisbury is a bit rubbish for street skating, but have a go at some of the benches around the market square and all the other places that have been mentioned
• Churchill Gardens - dedicated spot!!
• Quite a good skate park opposit the college. Not many places you can skate in town without people shouting at you!!
• There's a mellow metal mini in bishopsdown I've just been shown- it's not bad at all

• afon totally roxxs!!!! xx
• Churchill Gardens
• well salisbury sucks now cos the best skater left...hugh. man he was so fine as well.hahahahahahahhahahahahhaah. UP THE REBELS!!!!!FWEPfwfwopwf
• UPDATE 02/09/04- Salisbury park has had a makeover- driveway now has a flat bank on one side (run up) adn quarter on the other (run up)..... Mini now has 2 hipped quarters, one leads to a new volcano then to 1/4-flatbank-1/4 set up at far side of park........the other one leads to a box with 2 transitions rather than one and a flat downslope. Sub box being built as we speak. it seems a bit large though....... It' mainly for bikers now but that's okay as long as they stay on their side of the park and stop using the moveable flatbank as a wall ride on the bloody flat bank that we use to run up to the driveway!!!!!!!!!! You've got over half the park now boys don't get greedy aye?
• outside ppml are some small tight trannyed banks thingys. bit close to road. better for bmx. plus the park is naff. metal? and it's falling apart.
• skating in salisbury is a lot like making love to a beautiful woman. You have to have stamina and guts. You have to be brave enough to find where no man has gone before. You have to give as much as you can take. But whatever you do, bring a compass.
• The Park. Opposite the college (as has been said a hundre times so I don't know why i'm repeating myself). The best driveway I have evr skated ever. Just the right height, pitch everything. Tis perfect. Theres a sloped grindbox, a flat grindbox, a 15ft round rail, a spine, a flyoff, a flat bank, a mini that's quuite tasty,a box and another quarter, leading to the bank on the box. Everything ig well placed for runs of stuff, and most stuff can be shiufted around to make it more fun. Salisbury is damn amazing for such a simple park, it's just so open and well thought out, and surrounded by willows and a nice park that brings the ramp slags running in summer. Except they behave and sit on the grass. And most of them are damn lovely (Salisbury enjoys an abundance of fine ladies).... Also the guildhall steps are perfect for any trick you wanna do, unless you wanna fly to the moon. There is not enough run up for that.Sorry. You can't miss them jusrt walk towards town and follow the one way system if you are driving from the park, you wilkl drive past them at some point. If you're not you will find them, just head into town. its not hard really.
