do any off you guys know if there is any jump parks in the area that have been built up.
there was one down the woods at melville next to bonnyrigg 8 years ago but that has been flattened.
where about is the new musselburgh bmx track. can you use a full sus for jumping at the bmx track ??
There's some stuff near the bottom of Corstophine Hill near the road. To my untrained eye it looked like stuff the local kids have thrown together, rather than anything more substantial, but I don't know much about jumps. Maybe its awesome.
The skatepark that has been talked about for nigh on 10 years opened TODAY!

There is a NEW musselburgh bmx track? I went past the other day and was gutted to see that the old yin had been destroyed. Where is it?
thats one off the things i want to know. where is it. cant find a location on the net
There is some newer stuff in the Dalkeith area, close to Melville, that's been built - don't know how it compares to the stuff that was at Melville.
The new BMX track at mussleburgh is about 50 yards from where the old one was. Its not much good and would be useless with a full sus MTB
There is stuff on the bottom of corstorphine hill next to the road on the south side.

more like over 20! meetings about an edinburgh skatepark kicked off when i was skating at bristo c. 1990 and the closest we had to a park was the tollcross wastleland next to goldbergs. looking forward to having a nosey.
there's the secret garden at the top of corstrophine hill, too. Not mega-ace, but has potential. See [url= http://www.photobox.co.uk/slideshow?album_id=364713329 ]pics here[/url] for a vague idea.
think i will try the cortorphine hill one. where is the jumps in dalk.
Isn't there something at Kingsknowe?
livingston has a bmx track and a skatepark

I was at the Mussleburgh BMX track yesterday on a hardtail , Its ok but nothing special . Wouldnt think it would be much good on a full suss.
The Penicuik jumps have been neglected for a year or so. Top half would need some work, bottom half (as picture) would be OK. They need a fair bit of skill and bottle though. If you're lookng for them head out of Penicuik to Carlops and they are just past the last house on the right.
There is also a skatepark about 200m away in the park
penicuik trails, i knew there was a video somewhere
