Hi, I thought I'd start this after it's recently been an FAQ.

Add your own.

liverpool - rampworx (biggest indoor park in europe.)my local

chester - boneyard (spawned Owain Clegg, Ali Whitton and John Taylor)

darwen - rhythm (amazing small park, perfect ramps)

preston - grind (famously, the sketchiest park in the uk)

stockport - bones (really good park, 2 floors, vert, nice bowl)

bolton - bones also (more of a skateboard park, still good, no bikes on weekend)

Why the hell aren't there more foam pits in England?  That's rediculous, they're not amazingly hard to construct safely, so how come there's only one?  I think they're really useful, I'm really surprised.

not hard to construct safely, but hard to use safely.

rampworx got rid of it because of growing numbers of insurance claims against them.

ape, the park they sold it to, are also getting rid of it now.

my local:

HSC skate park - wealdstone (at the back of the leisure centre)

its an outdoor concrete park. used to have a few ramps but they got taken away when they did the park up recently, and they never returned.

its not bad if your local, wouldnt really travel far to get to it though

Foampits: See Simon Tabrons helmet! "The hard way" bmx riders depending on foam pits to learn tricks and get them right before they do them on a proper ramp/ jump. Interesting debate.

Bristol: SK8 and Ride, just changed to summat else.

Newport/ S Wales: Sk8 Extreme, very good indoor skate park according to the legenday bmx'rs at salisbury. ( remember the names Josh Elkington and Mitch Yeates!) :-

Well, if he was 10 miles out of Wales the only way that'd be possible would be to be in the sea :-

Near Swansea aren'tcha?

All MBUK boys have found it's 'cool' there so they do bike tests there too.

Claim to fame: Saw Chris Smith riding there before he became 'big' (I.e. before MBUK took his cock every month), doing double barspins on his Curtis, and barspin to fufanu and shit on the big midi quarter. Weird lad, he is...

doncaster-resa, in rossington

vertex-in sunderland.

Vertx in sunderland is nothing special but still worth a look if you're there. It ain't that well maintained and watch out for some of the pot-holes! Also the owner's a bit of a dick.
