Mark W Posted October 2, 2007 Report Share Posted October 2, 2007 Anyone ridden this yet? It's not between the Shell wall and St.Pauls so I'm going to assume no, but there we are...To give a sense of scale, that blue blob in the mid-left bit of the bottom pic is a full-size public litter bin. So we're talking decent sized bits to ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simpson Posted October 2, 2007 Report Share Posted October 2, 2007 (edited) No never heard of it / seen it... looks totally immense though.... think its enough to plan a whole ride arround? map? like you said we usually only get arround central London think some people went to a ride just outside of london cant remember (just asked fatpants will edit when sorted) looks mint though! close enough for a ride out of london? guessing not....Looks like an old school skate park in the background of the 2nd pic(edit fatpants only knows the kid on the bike with the pictures of the ride spot was called ben, he rides a streety bike with all gold anodised parts)EDIT EDIT(ok the bloke didnt have an afro!!! hahaha and it was Rusevelt (woo never know that was you! wow... hey man! hahaa) and the spot was lewisham, looked great to ride!)

Mark W Posted October 2, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2007 I could list you about 10 places off the top of my head that are awesome to ride west of Waterloo. You bastarding trials riders need to explore more!Simpson - got no idea at all what you're talking about for most of that post, but I took the photos and they aren't in Lewisham, and that isn't an old school skatepark in the background.

Rusevelt Posted October 10, 2007 Report Share Posted October 10, 2007 (edited) Yeah thats Victoria Park (Hackney-ish area...well as close as) though its a bit of a trek to get to if your in a hurry. not many near by train station either. if your a bmx fan, Cory Martinez (spelt surname wrong) did some awesome riding there last year i think (his segment is in the latest Ride magazine free dvd). i wanna find how they make that man-made natural section. hey Mark, what you should have done was to put your bike there in the picture that way everyone can see how big that terrain is.
