Yeah, both I mentioned are a little way out, but much better than the level... Eastbourne has one I think, not sure what it's like though...

There was one being built at Hastings as well, which looks good. Not sure if it's finished yet...

Crawley is amazing to ride slightly easier to air than saffron walden... The one in Brighton isn't that great really. The ramps are really spread out although they are well built...

I used to love The Level.

Great skateboarding/BMX scene in Brighton, there always has been.

Shame that Jell-O skate shop shut down, I realise it still exists in the form of a boutique, but it's not the same.

Are the rumours that there's a full indoor skatepark set-up (as in the component parts in storage) in the basement of the the Argus building still doing the rounds?

I remember everyone talking about that 12 years ago, but never found out whether there was any truth behind it.

Jedi - Horsham skatepark is good and has 5ft spine, two 4ft jump boxes, several 6ft 1/4's etc..

Crawley is good also and has 5ft jump box, big bowl etc..

Brighton the Level is basically just one 7ft 1/4 and a flat bank.

There's a mini skatepark in Hove too... but very, very limited.

Eastbourne has bigger ramps and has nice jump boxes and nice 1/4's and is "quite big" according to my boy!

Call me if you want any more info - you still have my number?

By the way, Tony and I had a BLAST in Morzine - jumping confidence hugely improved, pumping, looking, footwork etc... very, VERY noticeable improvements post your course. Can't wait to come again!

There's a park in Lewes behind the Tesco. Not sure it's CORE enough for you though Jedi! Also a small one in Newhaven by the Fort. The one in Eastbournes by the hospital isn't it? A dirt park?
