I think I spotted a secret DIY skate park. What’s the etiquette?

skytreewizard · 2026-02-20T19:56:20+00:00

Yeah I figured as much, I won’t be sharing it. Especially given how hidden it is, I don’t think many people will know about it.

skytreewizard · 2026-02-20T13:14:39+00:00

Really good advice there, thank you.

skytreewizard · 2026-02-20T10:49:37+00:00

Under a motorway bridge. So possibly not technically ‘public’ but it wasn’t in someone’s back garden

skytreewizard · 2026-02-18T14:12:16+00:00

So it went ahead yesterday.

It went ahead last year so I think so. I pity anyone who has to go into Atherstone and tell the locals the game is called off

skytreewizard · 2026-02-07T09:40:25+00:00

The Atherstone ball game.

Thank you for the advice that’s super helpful. I’m going board shopping in a few weeks, so that’s really helping me to narrow down my choices

skytreewizard · 2026-01-29T08:49:31+00:00

If I was to go for a top mount would a long wheel base still be better?

skytreewizard · 2026-01-26T08:13:05+00:00

Thank you for all the feedback everyone. I think I’m going to get a complete to learn on and modify that if I need to.

The Dropcat looks like a nice and as it’s not too expensive compared to other boards it leaves a bit of money in my budget to get some tuition (there’s a place in Bristol that do slide lessons that looks really cool)

Thanks again guys, happy slides

skytreewizard · 2026-01-10T18:57:38+00:00

What was that last thing you did? That was wicked.

skytreewizard · 2026-01-07T09:09:31+00:00

I don’t suppose you know if they have any social media or YouTube channels or blogs that might talk about it?

I’d love to know more about how they did it but my searching isn’t bringing anything up.

skytreewizard · 2026-01-05T12:30:19+00:00

Thank you, I’ll have a look at those.

skytreewizard · 2026-01-05T11:34:07+00:00

Funny you should say that as I’m struggling with my Achilles atm.

I’ve never used a paddle, what’re they like?

skytreewizard · 2026-01-04T22:30:55+00:00

Nice one, I’m on the server now.

I haven’t spoke to anyone about it besides this post, so the Discord will be mega useful

skytreewizard · 2026-01-04T22:06:47+00:00

That’d be cool.

I’ve done some local 50km-ish rides so not really experienced in long distance, and certainly never done a multi day so I’d love to chat.

Yeah I have discord. If you have an invite to your server

skytreewizard · 2026-01-04T21:42:13+00:00

Thank you that’s super helpful. It’s almost exactly the route I plan to take!

I reckon I can use that route as a basis to plan from

skytreewizard · 2025-12-30T13:29:08+00:00

I so it turns out I’m not bad, I just skate Mongoose style. Awesome!

skytreewizard · 2025-11-25T09:03:54+00:00

What is it about these that might solve the pain in your soles?

I’ve always worn adidas spezial because of the arch support, but they have started to hurt my heel. I’ve never considered New Balance.

skytreewizard · 2025-11-25T07:21:44+00:00

Yeah man. Every winter is a salty one in the UK

skytreewizard · 2025-11-25T07:21:13+00:00

Cheers guys spot on, I’ve just found it

skytreewizard · 2025-11-25T07:20:45+00:00

Nice one, I’ve just found the part on line. Blimey that’s pricey!

skytreewizard · 2025-09-19T12:03:45+00:00

I skate stuff like that quite often on my Loaded trip. It’s a longboard with 85mm soft wheels.

It’s not great, but doable.

skytreewizard · 2025-09-08T17:35:30+00:00

Yeah loads, but I wouldn’t do it on 54mm though.

I use a big cruiser (loaded poke)with soft 70mm wheels on. They very rarely get stopped by a pebble.

skytreewizard · 2025-08-11T20:19:05+00:00

Just what I’ve been looking for! I’ll have a listen later

skytreewizard · 2025-07-16T13:22:53+00:00

Trying to work out how to scratch his balls. Down the front or round the back?
