im from blackburn about 30 mins from manchester but went to uni there and the scene is solid!! everyone is very sound and welcoming, made me really fall back in love with skating as the scene by me is pretty sparce, this video has reminded me ineed to get down there for a skate very soon
Manchester is great to skate. I use to skate there in the early noughties. Was about 40 minute train journey from where I lived. Just finding random spots and skating the park under the bridge.
Manchester skatespot always contributed to skating around the spots of all destinations and different streets spots to developing a successful skater in Manchester, United Kingdom!
I grew up in Manchester and skated there back in the late 80's. Part of the reason those rails were put in at Pyramid park (@5.01) since bank skating was a popular thing there (and the banks across the road at the medical school(?), before they put the stopper blocks on). They put those rails in just in time for street skating moving towards rails and ledges 😊
WOW!!!! Forgot about this shop. Got my first proper board from there, aged 10 (1990). The word Templeton wasn't in the dictionary. No clue it was a person til i discovered Thrasher in 1994.
Municipalities around the world should be supporting and funding skateboard parks. Give someone a skateboard and you keep them occupied for a day. Give your city a skate park, you keep their youth occupied for the rest of their lives. Or something like that.
Let's start a petition to get crea-ture studios to add manchester into session 20 minits up the road and there is so much to skate they have some of the best d.i.y parks about
Its sad that mcr council havent built a couple of class street skateparks in the centre, wouldnt cost that much to build like the DIY ones, but they can fund millions and billions of flats and car parks and such. Ggs guys
Their is one DIY skate spot but alot of the stuff has been rekt, but has a nice bank/ledge and gap edit: didnt finish the video the spot is actually in the video x)

I used to chill in Manchester Town while they were filming this video and it's what finally got me into skating
Epic video! RIP Gasworks and The Kerbs! So many new brilliant spots though!
RIP Gasworks 🙏🏼
