A Little Roll Around A Couple of Spots in London

Clips I got of a quick visit to the legendary Southbank in London as well as a cool underpass skatepark. Shame I didn’t have more time, just have to make another trip.

I bet this place is packed in the winter time! Sick 50-50 180 out!

[@KieranClarkSkates]

Given how damp it gets in the here I imagine it is 😂 I’ll probably be one of them

[@donut5718]

🔥 ❤️❤️ such a beautiful place

[@KieranClarkSkates]

It’s pretty sick

[@TheHypotheticalSkater]

Thanks for documenting that Kieran. Never enough time but you got some nice moves in. That bank at Southbank is no joke, the arches place looks mental!

[@KieranClarkSkates]

Tbh I found southbank quite intimidating, everything was bigger than I expected it to be and I felt really exposed. Probably enjoy it more if I was there with a group, on my own it was a bit much tbh.

[@TheHypotheticalSkater]

@@KieranClarkSkates yeah I’ve had the same experience! I only skated it for an hour or so, the camera doesn’t do it justice.

[@fatdadskatesbad]

Sick sesh and sick spot!! Would love to go back to the UK someday and explore it as a skater. You guys got so many sick parks!! Last time I was there was 2010 and I wasnt skating back then!!

[@KieranClarkSkates]

We have got some real good ones, shame we haven’t got the weather to go with it 😂 hopefully you’ll get a chance to pop over at some point and see these spots.

[@DadLeisureSkateboarding]

Epic mate! Seen these spots on a few videos recently was awesome to see you skate them! Hope you enjoyed your trip to London

[@KieranClarkSkates]

It was cool mate, need to head back when I’ve more time.

[@Ungracefulmovement]

nice one Kieran. Random that you ended up at White Grounds (the arches park).

[@KieranClarkSkates]

I walked there from south bank, it’s bloody miles 😂 definitely should have jumped on the tube. I preferred it to South bank tbh, I found south bank quite intimidating. Maybe need to go back with a few people to feel more comfortable there.

[@Ungracefulmovement]

@@KieranClarkSkates drop me a note next time. See if I can take the pressure off.

[@KieranClarkSkates]

@Ungracefulmovement that would be sweet. Appreciate it mate. I want to check out that park in your video that was sinking. Look really cool.

[@simonvidetta1976]

Nice vid mate! Recognise that last spot from one of Ungracefuls vids, the 3 tier blocks looked familiar ✌🏻

[@KieranClarkSkates]

That park was really cool, think I prefer it to southbank tbh. Going to try and get back down there again in the near future.

[@simonvidetta1976]

@@KieranClarkSkates, it did look really interesting. We haven’t anything like it here in Devon ( that I know of) do you live far from there?

[@KieranClarkSkates]

It’s an hour in on the train so not to bad, it’s more finding the time to make the trip is the issue. I really like parks that are in interesting places, especially ones under flyovers and stuff. They have a really cool atmosphere.

[@amskateboards]

How did you find skating the banks at south bank? I thought they were well steep. On video they don't look that steep but when your there in person they are like a wall lol.

[@KieranClarkSkates]

I completely agree, I thought they’d be a nice and chilled but they were no joke. I’d need some serious time there to get comfy with them.

[@rayvindawkins5304]

I've seen this legendary spoy before. I now know it's the legendary south banks. Looks cool. I'd love to skate there. What would you rate it?

[@KieranClarkSkates]

Honestly mate, I struggled with it, it’s a lot harder to skate than it looks. It is cool to skate somewhere so iconic though, definitely worth a visit just for that alone.

[@rayvindawkins5304]

@@KieranClarkSkates I respect that. I was watching your last video with those feebles and those heelfips. They were looking pretty good. I'm at the point of my life where I'm also just trying to keep tricks as well and maybe improve some old ones. I relate to it a lot.

[@KieranClarkSkates]

It’s a struggle for sure, it just comes from not being able to skate a lot. I’m accepting that I can’t be consistent with everything if I only get one session a week. Instead I just need to pick tricks I really want to keep hold of and build off them.
