New park, 10 mins from my work *RIDING PICS ADDED*

[SaMAlex]

I know I am pretty much out of touch with everything at the moment but this weekend I read in my local paper that there is a new skatepark about to open in the town where I work. I just went to check it out and its not bad. Way better than the "1/4 at each end, box in the middle" crap that lay unused everywhere. There are at least a few lines to be had, and a few areas to session. I will probably bring my bike in with me before the end of the week and have a little roll about (Im still acheing from racing at MK on sunday).

Are you going to tell us WHERE it is then or keep it to yourself?
LOL!!!

[SaMAlex]

Haha, forgot about that. Im still in the mind set that I am bound to know anyone near by who might wanna ride it.

The park is in Abingdon, which is on the A34, about 5 miles south of Oxford. It isnt actually open yet, but will be in the next few weeks. Building got held up cos of all the rain.

I will try and get some riding pics up soon. But that would mean me getting someone else to come with me so one of us can take the pics.

That's really smart! You don't often see a proper jump-box at public parks! Looks like there's something for everyone.
