'Me local' as Ben Hennon says in his thirty seconds edit is now my new local, Silksworth skate park is now my new Wezza. Being from Peterborough I weren't really used to a great selections of parka I was basically stuck with Wezza which was two small quarter pipes and a small jump box, now for me and lads it did do us the job considering we learnt most of our tricks at that place but now I have to biggest opportunity of riding a good skate park every week. Now to start with its a concrete skate park, it has everything you can ask for.
The selection of street madness comes with ledges ,rails and nice flat bank hips. Good enough for a full blown pegs session on a cold winters night. Now although my peg trickery was not to any particular standard riding the park defiantly has given me more chance to put pegs to ledge, many of the BMX locals being into street because of back in the day 'Silky' was not available to them and all they had was the streets, which means more people to session street with me. Here's a video to shows some ledge session time.
Now this is were the parks selections of fine quarters comes in, with a range of size the quarter are giving names depending on the size from big to small, Big red (the penultimate), medium red, little red, big yellow, little yellow ,little green , the road to nowhere (vert), medium spin, big spine, little spine, hip into red and hip out of yellow. Now there's a selection. With lines everywhere it does not seem to get boring, really good flow and sizes. Now I've met quite a lot of local rider already and have also managed to get a few sessions done with videos and photos, all really good people and no hassle with chav's or radgy's as the mackems say so really good local park.
Looking forward to many session at the place any many videos will be coming out of it, just hold tight and wait till the deadly white stuff leaves us and all shall be well! Enjoy.
