Lewes skatepark - sometime soon - Recon

Too many things going on this weekend but on a spare moment detoured to find this place on the back of Lewes, ready for next time...  (skateparkpages, sk8loc8 and good old google maps and aerial views, coupled with a bit of on the ground map work).  Looked good fun but busy quickly I guess... will get onto it next time I can...

A better designed version of hove lagoon from the look of it, has some gentler slopes and some more street bits too.

4. Whats left of The Levels... till the new build in..20whenever

Early morning run at the levels - funny set up - too long distances between some stuff - rough surface - some of it very so, litter hazards, less syringe hazards than there used to be...
Had the place to myself and some good fun to be had - metal plates at base of ramp a bit wet and slippy but all good in the end -just too much rough concrete - you can hear it on some of the video footage..

the rebuild is pretty urgent mr councillor i agree;

option 2 is the one i believe...  but strapped cash in these times we'll see...
all sorts from b.h.s.a on here including the byc indoor spot... and hollingdean and woodingdean that need visiting....

2 & 3 Shoreham skate park & a quick stop at southwick (no.s 2&3)

Managed to get to Shoreham two mornings in a row nice an early 8-9am.  Met Graham Ince who used to run Radlands and knows many a Kettering local.  Good things.  Shoreham bowl is great - the street area is good for cramming it in. Link to their website attached.http://www.shorehamskatepark.co.uk/

Dodgy video - a) bowl pretty full on and b) so windy phone kept blowing over - so wedged it with my bag in the bowl and - it blew over :)  Will update this sometime soon.

Southwick skatepark is a kind of too long a flat bottom, mismatch heights concrete spined mini ramp - ignoring grit, sticks, dirt overspill and occasional dog walking hazard is pretty good for a change of scene.

1. The challenge begins and first spot skated in 2012

Jonozero offered the challenge to skate the number of spots your years dictate - I accepted.  First run of the challenge - hove lagoon - no smooth transitions - slippery surfaces - litter challenges - but close to home and quiet in the a.m.

So we have; ollie, frontside half cab, and a pop shove it, with a background shot to the\ park that I'll improve on another time.

Dodgy photography, (especially if I'm involved), but my battered and beloved sony ericcson C902 has a best pic (9 in a row) feature - which with timer is pretty handy on a solo skate, can set up angle and then run and do the line.
