You can tell us more about Southampton.

• Forget the update - Northam, original city skate spot/mini ramp. shout to all the multi story carpark skaters of 1991. peace, n.
• hoglands park, pretty good cuz all the kids are there, few older people though.
• ASDA 4 sets, if ot too good just ollie one, but if amazing, ollie first, kickflip second, indy third and do some big trick on last one.
• Bittern and Bittern leisure centre are quite good. When the centre's closed its quite possible to session the 5 set around the back, nice run up and landing. Across the road from that by the bus stop is a 5 set followed by a 6 set and if you go under the subway there is 4 (i think) 6 sets. or if your feeling suicidal try the massive brick flatbank.
• appleton road, bitterne park, great to manual and grind, curbs are already waxed! its in bitterne park, off dimond road Woodmill skatepark, bitterne park, by woodmill bridge, its kewl, got a quater pipe, two verts, fun box, and somthing else, oh and a pergola
• On a dodgy park near St Mary's and a grey office building that looks just like the one in the intro to the sitcom The Office. There is a boy who looks like a microphone that I constantly see - he must be the ringleader, you can see his afro for miles.
• West quay ledge. set on a lower level to the highstreet. under the subay near waterstones westquay. The ledge is at the bottom of the castle walls hill. Normally waxxed up nice.
• hoglands park bites but thornhill skate park has a lovely mini and a comp on once a year where the locals come out and shred. hedgends new mini is sick, suggest you check it out. loads of skateparks in southampton like marchwood (designed for bladers with a lush spine for all), shirly warren designed by a bmxer so everythings a bit screwy on the transition front, totton has a vert what more needs to be said, treck to bournemouth for slakes farm which has snake rub bowls and few rails, woodmill which has everything you need including a pink with yellow polkadotted grind box(hehe), hedend skatepark is really compact and more space could heve been used but theres a big fun box in the middle which helps for an enjoyable skate. Finnaly one lovely hot day we decided to hunt for something new and stumbled accross a new mini ramp in the nomansland area of the new forest, this is the nicest mini ive ever skated and i suggest all who class themselves as ramp skaters go check out this 5ft high beauty. well this is ricky of the woodmill locals. Peace!

• 7 set with handrail between car park and some other building by asda's. Walk towards John Lewis car park thing & if you are REALLY GOOD and brave try the huge multi kink rail just over the itchen bridge leading into town (you wont do it) there are also loads of grindable planters and stair set being built by ocean village see the marketing suite.
• When will the new one in Hoglands be open, it's a lot of hassle climbing over the hoardings to use it.
• Townhill Park
• the new west key shopping complex car park is cool at night,highly bustable, 10 minutes before the rent a cops get pissed off with you interrupting their donuts.nice ledges gaps steps rails and things to grind. watrose ramp is nice for down hill fast an gnarly stuff. the marble car park is wet day heave and a cure for winter wheaterbix season, shiney smooth floor,nice!!!
• Next to the Asda there is a big building that always has lights on at christmas, and there are a few good steps there.
• If you have been reading the part about skateing in southampton. Its old. Mayflower has been taken down by the council becase "Its a place for drugs" total bullshite. There was no reason for them taking it down. There is a new skatepark that opened in may 2001 shirley warren skatepark. It is quite good for its size with a mini, death, 3 quarters, flatbank, spine and a grind box. Letdown TOWNIE CENTRAL avoid all townies. One more thing i have some inside info that they are building a new skate park beside Debenams. thank fuck for that. This is by keiron robinson. peace out. if u dont belive its me im black short and skateboards with a mini afro

• Look for yourself, there is alot of spots around, good carparks, blocks, steps. Unfortunately it is difficult to skate in town now because of the pigs.
• Early in 1999, Bartley Park in Totton opened in style. eibe-play ramps include a vert-ramp, midi-ramp and a range of street course. This site used to be a sewerage(don't worry the smell has gone with the buildings). The ramps have a polyester surface, which is proving to be a long term quality ramp. See it for yourself and make your own opinion.
• Try the Library steps, They are waxed ledges. Grovsner Square multistory car park, near to Bedford Place. If you want to speak to skaters go to Off Beat Sportz on Above Bar.
• A new skate park is now open for the summer of 1997 in Mayflower Park next to the existing Roller hockey ring. The project, built by Freestyle for the Council, includes a funbox, driveway, quarter pipes and grind rails. The design was done in consultation with local young people and will be officially launched with a free event on Sunday the 27th July. The event is being funded by the Council with Offbeat Sportz and Addicts, two local skate equipment companyies. There will be Demos, music, prizes, sounds and open sessions. Contact is Gordon Adams on gadams@cintranet.co.uk
• Mini at Lords Hill extended in 91 with help from Off Beat. Now 20' wide by 5' high. Also mini-ramp at Northam Community Centre.
• Southampton is the shittest place to skate ever.
• Check out the paddling pool near the Cowherds pub on The Avenue. Make sur that it is bone dry outside when you go though or you will be pissed off as it gets damn slippy. Bus's run from the bus station in town, only 60p
