Skateboarding Spots

• Civic 6 all the way. Limit Skate Shop usually hold an annual skate comp there.
• Chalkwell park skate park is decent
• currys.
• Legacy XS Skate Park, just the Nuts
• end of st leonards road its rare no chavs it rocks
• Westcliff 6 set is a great place to skate, just outside the westcliff C2C station, there is also a 3 set there too
• i do trails and dirt but b&q and under focus.the front wall at westcliff

• it aint in southend but the best hook up spot has gotta be the skating ramp at clements hall. ive been there a few times to see what its like and all they do is moan about how everyone in southend are "chavs" or "slags". tossers.
• These have all gone - either that or you can't skate there anymore unless your rocking some sims
• right,start at the odeon great floor totally cool beware of the people trust me!you will see a spiral stair slope goes up to the next level,good spot to skate soo much room its untrue grungers hang there but they dont annoy skaters.if not southend try rayleigh in the park some half pipes grind rail.CHAVS! yes they are there but when you deleiberatly kick flip a board at them they dont come back for a few days atleast.appart from that.runnymeade,speed bumps to practice ollying,curbs,its a massive car park...i almost forgot handrails are awsome there defenatly somewhere to go mind the counsellors (counsil offices lol)its basically the swimming pool car park but with rails like that it should be full of skaters.
• CIVIC CENTRE! SKATE CENTRAL NO CHAVS IT ROCKS IN SOUTHEND GO THERE I HANG THERE N SKATE SEE IF U CAN FIND ME...PEACE OUT!
• in southend when you go to argos go up the stairs or lift or moving stair thingy and there is abbandoned shops out side there is great flooring for beginers,beware of the police man that walks round,chav central but who cars because you can hit them like i did
• Civic carpark, black deff 7&4, the crappy banks out side the library, courthouse 2 ,3 and road gap, chalkwell beach! civic 8, red cycle path gap the list goes on but to be honest what southend really needs is a counsil skate park thats been thought through and with a decent budget like we were promised.
• skateboard spots...hmmm....well i used to go skate on the mini half pipe on progress rd...had sum gd times there...broke me ankle nd split me head open...but hey! skateboardin aint no fun until u break summink rite??

• well, i would say Shoebury skatepark, but since ppl have been stealing the half pipes and hip pipes, and trying to run away wit the benches, its turned into a dump. I used to skate there (yes a goth girl can skate), and its just gone down hill majorly.
• quite a few are round by the libary or the police station but the best place is down a quite one way road just off town, cant remember the name of it(opposite southend central station)
• the court rooms by southend library has a 3 stair , theres black death , the boxes by the library are pretty cool with the slopes on the sides so quite like a ramp realy , safeways crapark in leigh is good when its shut at 9 o clok at nite but if ur goin on sunday it shuts at 4
• there's a carpark opposite safeways carpark entrance in leigh. Its got this huge ledge and loads of stuff hanging about so you can build something.
• Rayleigh high street enuff said.Mainly near the Mill.
• not a skater although i used to roller skate over safeways eastwood..
• If you guy's are struggling for ramps and tarmac how about moving onto dirt - MOUNTAIN BOARDING?!! Really fast, really extreme, just mad! Loads of different boards in the new shop in Hamstel Road, Southend, UP 4 KITING.
• That area around the Civic Centre can be pretty cool. B&Q carpark when it's closed.
• Southend seafront: waxed ledge, crap 5 set, new 3 set near pier, 10 on the bridge near pier 5 and 3 near ten. Civic centre: 7 set handrail round back of black death(huge 4 set), carby house, 2 set, 2 car parks (one with manual box and one with gap), 5 and 7 at office building, banks outside library, blocks and small 5 set the other side of library. Tesco 5 set aswell.
• skate spots in town are victoria road, theres a 2 stair ,3 stair ,4 stair, 5 stair,6 stair and a 7 stair but then it jumps up to a 22 stair if ur one f the flip team. B & Q car park at 4 o clock on a sunday is packed out wid skaters and kicker ramps, this is most sunays not every 1. job center has good curbs but sk8 it on a saterday and sunday only. iff u go to holy famil (its a scool in thundersly, it has two 3 stairs and 1 of the stairs is into a flatbank and the other has an hand rail bout 3 decks hi whick is so cool.
• Civic Centre area. There's black death, Courthouse, all the civic stair sets. Chalkwell beach can be a good skate, as well as pier hill, Holy Family, Runnymede... no skate parks apart from rampage. No street parks. Might aswell just go to London.
• used to be a rollerskater myself..not Blades!.. I think the skate-board park at 2-tree island has closed now, so a nice skate along the seafront is good.
• there's a wicked marble bench in town centre that curves that looks sick
• Queensway car park, opposite the back of argos attracts little sk8er dudes, and opposite southend library.
• ok, the best places 2 skate in southend have already been ruined, Cliffs 4 has had 2 rows with gaps put infront of them, courthouse 2 runup is full of cracks, grungers have taken over queensway and are slowly but surely taking over b and q. this is all since tony hawk and his games attracted mindless retards into sk8ing, so stop littering and go wen a security guard kicks u out and stop being such retards. The BEST places 2 skate are b&q (obviously) anywhere along victoria avenue and my personal favourite, the unloadiig bay on top of the royals, ledges of all sizes but a 20 minute skate at the most,(beware of the rudey security guard!!!!)
• outside the bus stop next to argos is Queensway car park which is quite old and not used as much as it used to be but it is underground therefore weather resistant and has a few long waxed sloping kerbs.
• Middle of Rayleigh Highstreet. If u like a walk first (but u can ride most of it) then Rayleigh Weir where Texas used to be behind Sainsburys!
• SORRY BUT SOUTHEND SUCKS FOR SKATING COME ON COUNCIL BUILD US AN INDOOR SKATEPARK WHERE IT DOESNT GET ROTTEN AND YOBS AND LOUTS HANG OUT. COUNCIL IF YOU READ THIS A GREAT PLACE FOR A SKATE PARK WOULD BE THE HAMLET COURT ROAD SITE WHERE THE HOTEL USED TO BE ITS RIGHT NEXT TO THE TRAIN STATION AND IT WOULD BRING BUISENESS IN FOR LOCAL TRADERS.
• Bench outside BT Cellnet
• ok outside southend library, theres all these bump things, loada skateboards go there!!! but its not that good anymore, not many boarders go there but the ramps are still good.
• b and q on a sunday after 4
• B&Q, farringdons, Lidls, seafront, Leigh ramps, uhhh victoria ave
• Prittlewell School, theres a couple of drops, stairs , rails and stuff. Only problem is a couple of wannabe rudeboys who hang around, but we've never been bothered by them.
• B&Q is the main place at 4:00pm on Sunday. A few poles and walls there. Lidls has a great wall which I waxed thank you very much! Top of the Royals is good but we always get chucked out there. Underneath the Job Centre is the main place to be when it's raining, loads of people turn up there though it's crap, ther is just one curb. Farringdon car-park is pretty good, steps and curbs. There are loads of places, but the main one is near the Library, there is a 3-step, 7-step, and a 5-step. 5 waxed walls, rampy things (hard), but it ain't very good ground. Oh yeah and 'Black Death' is five metal stairs which is called so because so many people break bones (trying to) olly it.
• Everywhere in Southend rules
• ok there is loads of places where me and my mates go to skate there's the civic center car park which is really smooth and has some slidable curbs and the infamous gap where kids break their heads open trying to jump of this platform and over the curb. also the legendary farringdon carpark where hundreds of people turn up in cars and skate their tits off although personally the place bores me shitless. my favorite place is at the top of the royals shopping center where the produce delivery car park is you go up the big slope to get to it and there is loads of curbs, ledges and sandbags to play around with
• Half way down pier hill, under palace hotel, skateboard areana.
• B & Q, Farringdon car park, College Stairs, Royal stairs, Lloyds Bank, Victoria Avenue. Steps at the top of Pier Hill, Oakwood Park mini ramp (low, easy to ride) also Asda in Shoeburyness and don't forget Leigh on Sea.
• Bit of 4 x 4 and a set of corgi car wheels is all they need- any boot sale.
