Just heard through the grapevine the Stockport sk8 park is closing in April, the death of another cracking facility. Get down before then and session the bowl and the other ace riding areas..

you only miss somethings when there gone!!!

WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

where did you hear that?

Bones, going?

I thought it was well popular.

Flaz · « **Reply #3 on:** January 12, 2007, 09:41 AM »

no way

although i only went once i was very impressed if it was around here it would be rammo all the time $:-\$

jimwise68 · « **Reply #4 on:** January 12, 2007, 10:28 AM »

I'll take the mini ramp, if they are splitting!

Stodgy · « **Reply #5 on:** January 12, 2007, 10:41 AM »

Let's buy it!!!!!

Perhaps we could have a 'BONES OWNER' tag?!

jimwise68 · « **Reply #6 on:** January 12, 2007, 10:43 AM »

Stodge, was thinking the same thing. It can't be that much.

If we buy it, can we move it south and stick it in one of Dan's fields?

stoke bloke · « **Reply #7 on:** January 12, 2007, 11:07 AM »

are you sure Mike

, that place gets rammed with kids at the weekend and evenings. even to the point where there are gangs of kids just hanging out as if it were youth club.
bad news if it is true, we had better make the most of it while it lasts phil

like the idea of buying it and moving it south, well as far south as stoke/stafford

oberonspacefruit · « **Reply #9 on:** January 12, 2007, 11:39 AM »

i will ask when i go down tommorrow.

otherwise we'll have to move the jam to bones in bolton, or maybe that other one with the enormous bowl in bury.

Bolton Bones closed ages ago Fruit

oberonspacefruit · « **Reply #11 on:** January 12, 2007, 11:47 AM »

not there then.

that one in bury, then, or rampworx. or somwhere else.

ill get on the case.

it might just be rumour anyway, theyve only justa altered loads of ramps, which seems wierd if they were gonna shut it down.

it went bankrupt, as the local council would NOT subsidise it as it was privately owned,

if you can get a local council to sponsor a new skatepark it would have a much better chance of survival - difficult !

Kin L. Must've been bad...the women's were a pretty sorry state!

Reliable sources mate, Bones bolton gone a long time ago!! Stockport to follow, just because a place is rammed at weekends and evenings dosent mean its making money. Theres a lot mre factors insurance etc etc..

hope it isnt so but there you go. So get those last minute meets sorted and get down there..
Paul the guy who owns it is a good guy..

dordymush · « **Reply #17 on:** January 12, 2007, 02:00 PM »

thats a proper sickner.
great old park to ride.
even if it does leak on you when it rain

.

theRuler · « **Reply #18 on:** January 12, 2007, 02:05 PM »

got to find another park then up round here

also make sure we find out the closing date and get a "one last session" booked before the roof falls in.

the place is pretty fooked tbh, and it needs a cash injection.

oberonspacefruit · « **Reply #19 on:** January 12, 2007, 03:07 PM »

i just posted a link to the other park, very near, on the last page.

jimwise68 · « **Reply #22 on:** January 12, 2007, 03:25 PM »

Nice looking park that newbie!

oberonspacefruit · « **Reply #23 on:** January 12, 2007, 03:49 PM »

I dont know dave.

if bones does close, i want to continue riding, so that is a similar distance.

so we should go and have a check of it out one night.

we used to ride bones without a lock in remember........lol

it would be nice if they did..burley interact does lock ins, but i think it may be dearer, and its certainly further, and i want to try to get ridin once a week if i can, so im gonna have to look at riding wherever i can.

Rombloke · « **Reply #24 on:** January 12, 2007, 04:40 PM »

this is bad new for the northern chapter.....grim.
shame really as its a decent park, this will undoubtedly be because of lack of profits, there isnt many parks that make money.

forget the take over bid, however good a venue it is, you are flogging a dead horse

gutted for you north west boys, still, rom is only 6 miles from my house.
