yes parttime ................... and you spend your time posting on radbmx.co.uk and mocking scooters.
I don't think any of my posts on that site are of a particularly mocking nature, merely pointing out what was going on to people from out of the area that were interested in the skatepark (there's plenty of those out there). For what it's worth I do feel a little sorry for the scooter riders, back when I started riding BMX in the 80's no one liked us either. Still, chin up scooter kids (and parents of scooter kids) in 30 years or so time your sport may have grown, matured and been accepted enough to warrant lovely fresh concrete parks of your own from which you can ban BMX, Skateboards, Hovver boards or whatever else has come along by then. |

You're obviously very passionate about what you do, and fair play to you ! But, I could argue that an 9 year old on a BMX is more hazardous than say a 14 year old on a Scooter ? That's why I think an age limit would be more appropriate.
Thank you  That is very true! |

Sorry to revive an old thread - but have some news (from Thatcham which is near enough  ). A new user group has been formed called Thatcham Skatepark User Group 2011 with a view to securing a new skatepark for Thatcham. If your children currently use the existing facility, or would do in the future, please join the group on Facebook for up-to-date information. You are also able to submit your own ideas |

Obviously Thatcham Skatepark would be nowhere near as grand as Newbury, as there aren't the funds, nor the population. The current plan is to replace the park, but utilise the existing base. Size is also limited as the existing park is on a registered village green, and the council have a duty to provide such green areas. Many children who use Thatcham are not old enough to go to Newbury unattended, or they ride scooters. Having said that, we would like to new facility to be a bit more exciting/challenging than the current model. |
