Skateboarding Spots

• am too old and decrepid for skateboarding i'm barely breathing!! ha ha
• Everyone is forgetting the legendary Grove park! it has it all. Curbs, concrete the works. But seriously, no one has mentioned Trevol Business Park aka the fish factory: 5ft drop, gaps for ollies and flips, sketchy manual pads and gravel gaps. Have fun.
• THE LAWNS IS ALWAYS A GOOD PLACE TO SEE TONY HUDSON HURTING HIMSELF TRYING TO DO SOME EASY TRICK THAT THE 8YR OLDS ARE DOING.MAYBE DISLOCATING HIS ELBOW.THIS WOULD'NT BE SO BAD.BUT HES 26.........YEARS OLD..... DISCO AT HIS TONITE...............
• Outside the grumpy old mans house in the Harvey street (smackhead) flats. Tall three set.
• The skate park. it's only fun one day a year (in september) when there is a skate and bmx competition which basically is just a good excuse to get wasted whilst in the company of some damn sexy people!
• The skate park obviously but its v. shit. The waxed curb from Londis, another waxed curb near the park near the beaver hut. Thats pretty well hid but some cunts wrote BLADERS RULE on the pavement. Carbeile shool has got some 4 sets, flat-banks varying in height and the higher bit is as smooth as it gets. Its also got a cool pool feature wots always ends in a 50-50 or agony.Skating here though is risky as the cops always drive by. The thee 4-sets in a row down by harvey street flats but watch out for grumpy, bearded old men in them.
• its gotta be the waxed up curb near londis, down harvey street flats and junior school. But look out for the cops, there always driving around.
