Places I skated / remember

[Smiler]

Probably most of these are now gone / forgotten about, but they hold fond memories for me. Would be interested in hearing if any still exist (ones in normal text I know have gone) or anyone that skated at these places back in the day...

Lytham - next to the Lifeboat station
Empire Skate Building - Preston
Grinders - Bradenton - Florida (concrete bowls)
Wesham 1/2 pipe - built by Woody
Hutton - Rare Unit 1/2 pipe
Warrington? - Rare Unit street course
Goshen Sports Centre - Bury
Skate Shack - Barrow in Furness
"Curbs" - Manchester - near the BBC
Callington - Cornwall - concrete midi - Cornwall
Dittisham - Devon - Wooden mini on the sea front
Plymouth - Rare unit park near the Hoe
Wavertree - concrete 'thing' - near new technology park
Blackpool Band stand - sea front
Blackpool Cenetaph - sea front
Woking - Metal Mini's in park
Weybridge - Metal minis behind Library
Hayes - Indoor skate park

That's about it for now I think, sure there's loads more I've forgotten...

  Yeah i remember the southport park with all the concrete banks and big snake-run, was edge lane the park with all the metal ramps and the huge ( gigantic ) tarmac bowl that was rough as a bear's arse ? If i remember correctly you had a past the elbow stookie at the time but skated anyway ( nutter )

The clover bowl at kelvingrove was great, even now it'd be a cool thing to add to any park,
tell kids that nowadays and they wont believe you ... i loved the hauf-pipe too happy days ... they built a brand new skatepark on the freestyle area a few years back, i keep meaning to go through for a hurl but haven't made it yet ( too many damn kids doing new fangled tricks god damn it )

I wont list where i've skated cos almost none of the places are in edinburgh and that pisses me off ...

I'm not bitter honestly
