so when is the road trip?

What's going on with Dagenham council? a park and a track on the way? is it full of ex skaters and bmx riders or what?

This place is wicked, so smooth and fast, shame there was alot of dust there that made some parts a little sketchy.

My new favourite outdoor park , loads of possible lines when you don't have the kids snaking you!

A word of warning though, we was warned by a skater that the local chavs who frequent the park are nasty pieces of work!

DO NOT go to that park by yourself....... It's a cool park but it's rapidly getting a reputation - 2 bikes stolen a day on average is what I heard recently - so take care

We could always organise a session there before/after/instead of Rom one weekend? Safety in numbers...

lazychubs · « **Reply #13 on:** October 17, 2005, 10:26 PM »

yeah they are taking the younger kids bikes so ive been told

Quite near where I live, but I couldn't find it due to sketchy directions so drove on to Rom instead that day.
From what i'm told, the chavs covered it in graffiti, which the council removed with a pressure hose. The surface ended up cocked, hence loads of dust.
Anyone get a Streetmap-type diagram on here? Wouldn't mind going sometime before it gets shut down.

The surface ended up glockenspieled

the swear filter is ace!!!

Wayne Ryder · « **Reply #16 on:** October 18, 2005, 01:26 PM »

My text molested by a swear-filter! The audacity!
Still, no point going off half-glockenspieled about it I suppose.

graeme · « **Reply #17 on:** October 18, 2005, 04:17 PM »

I know the guy how designed it , si skip, surely people have heard of him!
He's good mates and skate buddies with my birds brother, dave watson. Probably not heard of him yet, but you will.
Its a good park, but its usually full of 6-7 year olds, getting in the way!

TwoBobRob · « **Reply #18 on:** October 18, 2005, 06:47 PM »

Yeah, I know Si. Good bloke. Did a good job there I reckon, although he tells me there was loads of stuff left out and/or changed.

Hopefully the place will settle down and have a good scene - it's all about the locals - we'll see next summer once the novelty has worn off

Bob_Acid · « **Reply #19 on:** October 18, 2005, 07:47 PM »

The lads were saying that it had lighting till 10pm but the local chav's had smashed up all the lights.
