This is one of 2 skateparks near to Manchester Airport. I think the 2nd is better though so keep an eye out. Once the kids go bk to school we could hit both of them in one day if your up for it? They are both different kinds of skateparks but the 2nd one is just made for the older skater I feel.

👊 Cheers 🥂

I think if I would have just gone to the shop and got a drink then come bk I would have been fine but once I left I just couldn't be bothered going bk. Just lazy really and an excuse just to not really kickflip.

Its a perfect curb and the quarter just makes it even better as it adds an extra dimension to it.

I skated this place just before the school holidays started so it was a few weeks bk now. Its a cool little park just a shame you can't skate the pad from the long side so you can ollie up and try to stall the quarter. What did you make of Howe Bridge?

I was also thinking of a 180 off the fence when you do the foot plant but didn't really have time to try it. I was actually at my mum when I did this.

@@amskateboards The 180 out would be sweet, definitely give that a go.

Thanks, I would have liked to try a few other variations but I didn't really have time. I had to rush this really. I was at my mums house so didn't wanna b banging about too much.

Yeah the micro mini was not the best but it was still fun once you got used to it. This park is not the best but I' sure I will go bk in the winter for a session just as somewhere different to skate to mix it up.

Yeah I'm looking forward to everyone's attempts and to see what people come up with.

This is my mum garden but I always thought this rail would be great when I was growing up. Then I realized how hard skateboarding is and I have no chance lol.

Thanks, I think this will b a park for the winter. Defo get here for a session though. Got a few nice small parks coming up that I think you'd love and we should skate. The one in 2 weeks time is the main one though. Really small but amazing.

The main thing was having the guts to ollie a little faster on the first one so I could carry the speed into the second.

Cant wait to see everyone's attempts.

Is it possible to kick up the board, but have it go 180 (so swap the nose and tail) before you grab it? Or, rotate it 360 (spin it after you grab it as you are setting it back down)? I always think shuve-its add a finesse/steeze to tricks. So, either of the rotations noted above might look neat. Anyhow, just a thought. It’s been fun watching everyone’s take. Look forward to seeing this compiled and finding new channels.

@@SkateTastrophe That sounds totally possible, but also more difficult imo. I can totally see myself trying that only to realise that the 180 motion sent my board rotating straight into my shin! 😂

@@fd_skate lol… cracked up. Yup. I’m arm-chair-quarterbacking your tricks. I have no idea what I’m talking about. =) Lol.

@@SkateTastrophe Hey, I don't know anything. 😁Your idea could be totally awesome! 💯

I think this could be a great variation of the trick. My other thought was to do a 180 with my body when kicking off the fence.

If you can caveman and are comfortable riding switch then its an easy trick but if you can't do them I would recommend getting the caveman and switch riding down first.

@@amskateboards I have been working on the caveman but negative on the switch I just barely learned to ride regular, I guess I should give switch pushing a try, just to see where I am at!

Like the ‘to tail’ addition. I enjoyed learning this and its trickier than it looks 🤘🏻

Until I skated with dad leisure skateboarding I hadn't either. This is the second one I have been too now. The Deeside skatepark earlier in the season was also in a leisure centre.

@@amskateboards haha that's why they call me Dad Leisure 😆 Deeside was great too but personally I think I prefer it here

Yes the Ollie might be the most basic of basic tricks but it is still one of the scariest as well.

I could have done as well and thats why I didn't have long to skate the street section.

👊👍

I only said Hi to the other guy skating nothing much else. He was in the bowl a lot of the time and I stayed away from the bowl. As for grabbing a session together that sounds great just have to wait until after the school holidays though. I don't have a lot of free time while ,the kids are off.

@@amskateboards I'm a teacher so kind of the opposite for me! Will definitely go there a bunch in Winter for sure. I'm at Graystones Mondays and Thursdays so much prefer Howe as a change of scenery on the weekends.

It was. Its a bit strange at first but after a couple of tricks you soon get used to it.

Thanks. I think I will go bk once the school holidays are over.

Its only small but its still good. I do prefer outdoor parks though, but being in northern England indoor parks are a must and there are not too many near by ones. This is probably the next closest 1 to me after Graystones.

I just want all funny all of a sudden but I was fine later on that day.

Yeah its a bit stupid how they say no need to book just turn up then when you do the park is not open for some stupid reason.

Don't really do freestyle much that is about as good as it gets. I can do primo/rail stand as well but nothing else. As for the illness I'm fine. It was really strange just came out of nowhere but luckily it didn't least long.

Thanks, I'm fine now. It cleared up right away really was just a quick thing out of nowhere.

I think you'd be able to Ollie over that. Your Ollies have improved loads.

@@amskateboards Thanks maybe that’s my problem I need more confidence in myself!

@@VintageSk8 I have that same issue. There is a lot more I could do if I just believe in my own ability more.

Yeah curbs are one of the best things to skate.

Yeah can't beat a nice carpark. Even better if its covered like this one is.

Carparks are cool to skate and make you get a little more creative. A good skatepark still edges it though I think. Its just finding that good skatepark that is the issue.

Maybe new series after I'm done with the skateparks 😛

I don't know what it is with the 50:50 one day I get them and I'm fine with them then the next I just can't lock in for the life of me. Maybe its because I try them on different ledges/curbs all the time and I should just try and find one place and do them there till I land them 100% of the time.

@@amskateboards I feel you on that man. I was practicing Axle stalls on the same mini ramp and quarter pipes. I had my front side so consistently on time. Then I went back to go for another session to try it again, and I just couldn't lock in.

Yeah managed to get a little session in here. Would have liked longer but at least it was something. That ledge is really good just wish I had my wax with me.

The ledge was defo the best bit about this park.

I feel like that right now as well. There are tricks I feel I have just been going backwards at, 50:50 is defo one.

@@amskateboards 💯

🤘😛

Yeah its an ok park I wish I had little more time there to skate it. This was a little bit of a rushed video this week. I kept looking at the kicker set up with the gap, I just didn't get time to try it. I was thinking of maybe dropping down off one and then a quick ollie up into the 2nd if I could get my feet set up in time for it.

In a car its a lot shorter of a trip. It was only that long because I was traveling by tram, train and foot. We defo need to go and get some more session together. Shame I don't get more Tuesdays off.

I feel more comfortable doing an half cab than an ollie which is strange I know.

In a car it wouldn't take as long, so if somebody was going with me who drove I'd defo go again. I wouldn't travel up there by tram and train again though. It was an ok park but nothing super.

Yeah it was a good park but it didn't really have anything stand out that made it worth the long trip. If this park was closer I'd be there a lot but with it being that far away I don't I'll be bk.

@@amskateboards, yer I get that completely. I’m due to meet up with some old 90’s skater mates in Milton Keynes next Sunday for an annual meet up skate which will take 4 hours each way whether I drive or get the train from Devon to Paddington then Euston to MK 😳

Yeah it was decent but not great, for that reason I thing this is a one off.

It was a nice park and had most things you would need but didn't have that something special that made it stand out.

Good luck with the weather its always raining lol. I would say if it does ever stop raining its worth a 40 min drive. Its nothing superb or stand out but its good and has most things you would want.

Centre Vale is not a bad park but I do thing when you see other parks you always feel they seem better just becasue they are something different. Clitheroe is defo no good for beginners, all the ramps are big.

I think you are spot on. If the right obstacle is there then its worth the travel. For me I would say this park is worth the journey in a car as it cuts it in half but I don't think I would travel by tram and train again.

@@amskateboards there were a lot of parks like that in Korea. Train vs driving is a factor.

The hip at fitton hill skatepark is far better than shaw as it lines up nicely with the ramps unlike shaw. The best park in the area though (even if it is a little bit further out) is balderstone. It over towards rochdale but if you have time to go there I would highly recommend.

There is a guy who has a channel called dad leisure skateboarding who I have skated with before and he drives. The only issue is he is only free on Tuesdays and I'm not always free then.
