aener Posted April 19, 2011 Report Share Posted April 19, 2011 (edited) Hey. I've been getting a bit in to BMX as of recent. I've fallen in love with transfers and bowls (with bits of quirky shit thrown in for good measure ) Preferably concrete - but whatever. All the skateparks have dead little ramps - I want to play in some huge flowy bowls. What can you suggest? Edit: Before you say it - Scotland is too far Edited April 19, 2011 by aener Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forteh Posted April 20, 2011 Report Share Posted April 20, 2011 Epic in brum has got a bowl and some reasonable size transitions, off the top of me head I cant remember how to get there though, its been about 4 years since I went. It was over epic's jump box with the uber sketchy runup that I almost killed myself by sticking my handlebars 3" into my groin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's down Moseley road in an old church. It's now called Creation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's now called Creation. To be honest Ive barely ridden there, as you say it doesnt seem like a really friendly place to ride; although Ive never really considered it that way because Ive never been a regular local. The old brum skatepark on the aston triangle was great, used to ride there every tuesday night all through my uni years, the closing down nightime jam (would have been christmas 2003ish?) was amazing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Revolver Posted April 21, 2011 Report Share Posted April 21, 2011 Isn't there a bowl at Stoke Plaza? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aener Posted April 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2011 Yeah - and I'll be heading there at some point - just wanted other options. 'Parently Radcliffe's pretty good - even if it's made of horribly splintery wood Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krisboats Posted April 21, 2011 Report Share Posted April 21, 2011 Small skatepark in leicester, used to be called the edge i think. It's small, but it's local. Only other real local one would be derby storm, although i don't know if that's still running. That had some pretty big stuff in. Pretty sure there was a 12 or 14 footer in there!

Ash-Kennard Posted April 22, 2011 Report Share Posted April 22, 2011 creation is now also mostly a rock climbing centre, the skatepark sold most of it to them. tbf though it has by far the best walls ive ever seen and used Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Parently Radcliffe's pretty good - even if it's made of horribly splintery wood It's decent. We've got a park with a bowl called Southglade too. There's a new park opening in Derby soon.

You'll get your bike stolen if you go to either haha, i acctually had a bike stolen from me at radcllife, if you go pm me i live a mile away from it and the park isn't easy to find.

eskimo Posted April 25, 2011 Report Share Posted April 25, 2011 Isn't there a bowl at Stoke Plaza? Yeah but it's a skaters bowl. So expect quick transition and verty walls. I went to that park for the first time the other week, felt so let down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
