Skateboarding Spots

• Okish new skate park down by the new leasure center
• One of the bast places to skate and be seen skating in Tivvy has to be the paddling pool, as it is empty most of the year round (excluding the summer hols) it provides a skatable haven for who ever wants to go there. Although it may be dogged down by stones and leaves, these are easilly swept away. Waxed ledges make it easy to grind and slide while the sets of 2 & 3 stairs let you add more 'risk' to your tricks, also the base of the paddling pool is smooth and durable, so you can also practice your flat groung tricks aswell.......so go there!
• The paddling pool in Westexe Park is the best sk8 spot in town. Its full of sticks, stones, leaves and mud which makes it a pool of crap. Apart from the stones in the pool the surface is smooth and the ledges make good for grinds and slides. There is also a 2&3 set of stairs. Have fun sk8ing it.
• Multi-storey car park. No-one else uses it....
• Multi-Story car park in Pheonix Lane. No one actually uses it, EXCEPT for the skaters....
• Some fail to Ollie outside Woolworths. I'm sure they must go to the deserted multi-storey carpark, too.
• market walk and multi storey carpark! also a shit ramp at amory park

Skateboard Shops

• Soundys is more or less the only place to buy skateboard style stuff in tivvy ever since Wetpatch closed down some time ago, though there has been talk of Rons (BMX Shop) bringing some merchandise in, but lets face it...never gonna happen. Soundys stocks some nice illenium graphic decks along with a variety of blank decks aswell, (Zorlacs e.t.c). Also they have been branching out in the footwear department too, now not just stocking Vans, but now some KICK-ASS Etnies have been thrown in ready for the picking...be quick tho, they are going fast.
• Soundys Clothing Company in Gold st. These boys got some cool stuff!! Illenium, Public, Zorlac decks and stacks of other shit! Chunky Dave seems to Know his stuff but old man Soundy gives quite a convincing blag.
• Dunno. Probably one near Angel Hill or somewhere like that.
• There's somewhere just past Woolworths which self surf-type clothes. Might get a skateboard there. Those kids down by Barclay's bank get them from somewhere...
• fat ass ewart did run a shop called wet patch, but due to his lack of friends he didnt sell much so went bust!

The Knowhere Guide started out as a list of places to skateboard in the UK. It is a compilation of (unedited) information and views supplied by users like yourself. It is not a conventional tourist guide!

In most cases, the information in each section has been submitted by more than one contributor (the credits at the bottom of the page list some, but not all, of the contributors) and some of it dates back to the 1970s.

We make no claims as to the accuracy of the information in the Guide - our only purpose is to provide a forum for users to share their knowledge and opinions. So please keep a large bag of salt handy and be prepared to read between the lines!

If you disagree with a comment, or information is out of date, please submit an update! The contributors come from all walks of life, and their opinions are bound to be subjective, so if your view isn't represented, please speak up and contribute to the balance of the Guide. See below in the 'Have Your Say' section for how to add your voice.

If we have helped you out or made you laugh you can buy us a pint.
