Still in Yorkshire but at the sea-side, have Scarborough BC got the funding for that new park they were building? I think it was in addition to the small one there already, it was gonna have bowls and all sorts...

How big are the transitions and how deep is the deepest part....does it reach vert??

Daz.

priv · « **Reply #18 on:** December 11, 2008, 05:25 PM »

the deepest part of the bowl is about 7ft deep with a couple of feet of vert,but there are a few banks,transfers a jump box and a massive jump box[fcuk knows who'd ride that].

there's a flatbank to a weird shallow bowl a few rails.

there's more to ride than hyde park,so it'll do to pass a few hours
