me and my mate were on our way back from gosport bmx track as it had started to rain and we spotted a small skatepark in a field, so we went and took a look and this is what we found

6ft high vert ramp

we plan to go back sometime soon and see if it rides as bad as it looks

it'd be ok for a beginner, with three exceptions...all those dips in the floor, plus being made of metal the slightest hint of moisture and it'll be faceplant time and finally...it's a bit (well actually a lot) pants.

yes mate i did
thing is it didnt look that small from the road

my fave is still denmead skatepark

but im gonna have a look at the one on hayling seafront when my hand is fixed.you ridden it?

denmead mini is good, could do with a bigger platform for 540 tyre taps etc but otherwise its good, the street course next to it is not worth a w**k though

going to check out the hayling one soon as ive heard it has a mellow but wideish spine and i want to learn 360's over one as the last few times ive tried them over southsea's mini ramp spine ive ethier landed flat bottom or hooked up, so hopefully hayling's spine will help me get them dialled

are there anymore parks around that are a decent size? all i can find are council ones with crap/small ramps, a trip to chandlers ford is due soon

If that had a skin of ply on it, it would be fun!

i know of the one in southampton city centre, it looks very good but unfortunatly everytime ive gone there its started to rain before i get a chance to ride it

AHAHA, when I saw the title of this thread, I was going to reply with info about this exact ramp in Gosport for a laugh, but then the thread turned out to be about the same ramp.

This thing is mental... Southsea shredder Ricky Tribble can get 5ft turndown airs on it. It's wild to ride, deffo make a trip. Disasters / tyre taps feel amazing.

There's also a replica in one in one of the military towns in Wiltshire but I've not been there yet. Sometimes shit stuff is good eh?

Quite. If that was on the street, say a nice curvy bit of granite sculpture on a swanky new building society headquarters, it would be uber, sessioned hard and feature in loads of vids. Hit it, get it ridden and shruupp.

Transition - rideable = win. Pfft!
