Me and a few pals went on a summer trip to Snotland.
same tricks different day
sometimes the wallie isnt the safer option ![]()
always passed it, never really skated it. finally went up and it rained after 10 minutes ![]()
I saw this over the weekend - looks fun!
that does beg the question of why you were lurking around Pallion
Good spot for sure though, gonna try pull a noseblunt in off the top, and maybe a wallie on off the pole as thereās a gap into it. You clock the banks down just by Costa too?
Haha! Pāraps what I should have said was..
I saw you post this on Insta over the weekend - that spot, which is nowhere near where I lurk, looks fun!
Ah I get you now, if youāre ever up this way give me a shout for a spot tour. Thereās oddly 3 pretty solid bank spots up in that area - the one above, the brick pyramid and the banks at costa:
years ago iād be begging mates to drive up for that pyramid spot. Iād still love to skate it but would be gutting not being able to skate it like I would have done though ha
Looks so rad, is it a slappable curb on top? Fun times all round. Iām guessing itās probably never closed though
@anon90826813 looks can be deceiving, no doubt itās one of my favourite spots but those bricks arenāt too forgiving plus the pyramid itself is some sort of drain outlet? so it stinks 24/7.
The curb is level with the top of the bank but you can definitely get a grind on it, but yeah itās open until 9 every night so it doesnāt get skated much unfortunately. Kinda wanna just barge it and get a mayday over the channel.
Ah I meant slappable from the other side, and then ride into the bank. So yeah, itās rad! And yeah, if itās a 9pm close then thatās annoying. Barge it!
It looks so good! Iād love to skate that.
ah yeah thatās definitely possible then, never thought about it that way. I thought itād be kinda cool to nosemanny the little pad before then bash into a noseblunt pull in over it. Just gonna say fuck it and barge it this weekend and see what happens.
Been chased for skating so many times in Pallion haha. Knew thatās where the first spot was before you mentioned. There was an indoor skatepark called Blast in that same bit around 2004/5 that I learned to skate at.
Not shocked, still seems a bit rough up there - highlight of it is the metro back or that one building where someone sprayed GROVE STREET on the the roof. Blast was a bit before my time but had a few stories off Coyney about there and VertX.
If youāre ever visiting back here check the banks at Costa, solid spot. Would probably avoid Silky on a night now, got progressively worse over the years.
Wow Costa spot looks so sick!! Can pop in for a coffee after the sesh too haha
[Shite, donāt know how to embed properly]
Spent the last 2 summers making an edit down the local skatepark. 10 years exactly to the day since I made the first edit. Some people I never saw again since the first edit was made. Others are still my best friends. funny thing skateboarding eh.
Weāre planning on making a 3rd one in 10 years if we can!
(Had to use Vimeo as YouTube doesnāt like OMD apparently)
