Skate or die

has anyone skated the new brixton bowls? its going to be completely open from Saturday onward, just in time for the winter... but on the plus side i think theres going to be a skate jam there on saturday or sometime soon.

Do you mean Stockwell or is this somewhere new?

no, birxton bowls = stockwell skatepark = brixton beach theres probably some other names for it to, i guess its confusing because its in brixton but on stockwell road.

I might pop down on saturday/sunday if the weather is good. Havent skated brixton in ages.

I was across the road from Stockwell at Brixton Academy on Wed & Thurs for the Vodafone live music awards & its still not finished . They are still working on the funbox & other parts . The rebuild started August last year & its still going over a year later

some parts of what you said are untrue, the funbox is completely finished, as is everything other than the jersey barrier which is getting sorted out today. the build has taken too long, but it should be finished today. the problems that they had whilst building it werent really their mistakes, they got sold the wrong type of concrete which wasnt good enough, plus some other problems.

I hope the new surface makes it quicker - those massive cracks used to get on my tits (and I ride with 56mm wheels!)

well i was there today, and although it was pretty packed i still manage to get a few super fast lines which included getting a little air over the main bump just from speed, there was about 3 fixed gear bikes there but i didnt recognize anyone.

If any twat snaked my line on a fixed wheel bike in a SKATEpark I'd be hard pushed not to lose my temper...

they werent riding in the park, they were locked up, sorry i didnt make that clear.

Jeez, I haven't skated for about 10 years but still have my board. Maybe we should organise a LFGSS sesh somewhere.

wow might come back from paris just for that! Used to skate there 3 times a week until they re-did the surface...

Was told about this skate park this weekend. Looks worth a look, even if it seems beyond my skills.

Damn that looks fun

Good to see UK Councils have finally got a clue and are building amazing stuff like this not the usual metal crap.

How about the Worlds biggest skatepark in Shanghai China

Hi all
Any other old loser like me want something from skull skates? I'm getting some mail order and the shipping is a reet lot of dorra (canadian dorras are not as bad though, but dtill...) so I might as well get a few things.

PM me if you want anything, I'll order this time tomorrow.

Someone's shown 'North West' to Saffron Walden council! That's sick!

Yeah that's bloomin excellent!

The park at Saff is the DB though the big bowl is BIG. It's not even that busy any more.

I think they are getting money for more of a street section.

Nice to see some one getting it right for a change
