It doesn't LOOK as if it's very popular!
I'm going up this weekend. Let the sun shine please Mr Burrrrrt!!

how deep is the bowl and where is it?

[Trevenen]

Hi Rog, I haven't skated it yet but checked it out during construction. I'd estimate the deep end at 7 - 7.5 foot, up to vert mind you. Shallow end possibly 4.5?

There are some more (riding) pics on the Middle-age-shred forum, get over there and search for Clitheroe.

It's about an hour North West of Manchester Airport.

You wicked temptress, Trev.

That bowl looks the business, Im gonna have to take a trip up there

Since my previous posts I have skated it. I spent a weekend up there and skated it all the time. It's absolutely beautiful. Once you crack the lines over the hip and waterfall there's more speed than you need, if you try. Wheeee. Finish is excellent, coping set nicely. No complaints here. Now, when can I go back!

Well after reading all this I went out and tried to nose slide a wall this evening and sprained my ankle. It's all there in theory but practice is a different story! Everyone will have to start digging out their old wrist guards & hip pads.

haha ouch! yea i find that i can still skate and ollie a curb but im sketchy as hell ,all over the shop, like im gonna slam any time, yea pad up is the answer, hip guards/wrists/moterbike helmet/knees/elbows and wrapped in a big matress with string round it, might be a good idea

  I'm sure after a few hours you'd both be ripping it up. You'd be nailing those
rock fakie shuffles Paul and Jus you'd be hammering out kick flip blunt fakies
just like old times.
