Ep 6 - Ramp1 - My New Local Skatepark!

Huge news this week, as Ramp 1 announced the re-opening of its doors. I love 5 minutes away from this park, but it has been closed since I started skating... which has always been a frustration for me! Check out this video where I skate the park and have it all to myself!

Those stairs were nutty. Fearless!

[@fatdadskatesbad]

That is the most epic skatepark!!! 🤙

[@DadLeisureSkateboarding]

Yeah it's a good one! Thats only 2/3rd of it, there's another section of big ramps for bikes and scooters. At one time it was the biggest in Europe (not sure if it still holds that record) I'm really lucky to have it on my doorstep

[@Rekallism]

A trip back up to Warrington is needed! I see so much more I can use there now

[@DadLeisureSkateboarding]

Yeah it's mad when a park you used to think was too advanced opens up to you the better you get!

[@Brusselsproutsk8]

Nice job on the steps! Never been to Ramp 1 but heard it was good.

[@DadLeisureSkateboarding]

Oh thanks man! Jumping off of things is about the only thing I'm good at haha!

[@Ungracefulmovement]

Dude. This was another video that shows just how much skill you’ve got. And great to see you really having fun. The pole jam and stair set, and the Ollie up 2 (bonking up the remainder) you were looking hella confident 🎉🎉

[@DadLeisureSkateboarding]

Thanks mate that means a lot! I think because I struggle in areas that others seem to find easy, I underestimate myself but I got a lot of confidence from that session and a realisation of the style of skating that suits me. I did a whole rant about this to camera halfway through the session but deemed it to boring to include in the edit 😂 it could be its own video haha

[@AaronPushesWood]

You have got that 5 set next time you are there!

[@DadLeisureSkateboarding]

Thanks mate, my confidence went after a bit but hopefully it comes back haha!

[@amskateboards]

I wish it was this quiet when I visited it. Trying the 5 set was something I wasn't expecting. You easily got that in a few more sessions.

[@DadLeisureSkateboarding]

Yeah I just fancied it for some reason but after a while got scared haha. But yeah I reckon 2 more sessions and I'll do it! I went on the Saturday before this with my son and it was mega busy. Completely different session

[@amskateboards]

After Deeside defo need to get a quiet session here together. The beginner area is far better than Graystones. Could just spend the full session in that area.

[@DadLeisureSkateboarding]

@@amskateboards yeah I agree. Looking forward to both sessions mate

[@KieranClarkSkates]

Mate you were ripping this park, fair play for sending that 5. You’re going to get so good skating that park, it’s awesome. Another one to add to my trip list 😂 as for shuvs try them rolling Fakie. For some reason I always found them way easier that way as the board just seems to come round for you nicely.

[@DadLeisureSkateboarding]

Thanks mate! Gonna be difficult for you to choose a park for one day, might have to try and squeeze a couple in, or make a week of it 😆 Yeah I think the park has everything I need to progress but I will still use the others and there's plenty of outdoor parks to explore if we ever get a dry day! Yeah a few people say that fakie shuvs are easier, but I have never been that confident riding fakie (until recently) Maybe time to try it again!

[@KieranClarkSkates]

@@DadLeisureSkateboarding you got it mate. Yeah I think it might have to be multiple trips 😂 I’ll work it out.

[@deadleads]

Ramp1 as a local. Lucky

[@DadLeisureSkateboarding]

Yeah I'm pretty buzzing about it! Hopefully they continue to be open during school hours!

[@DadLeisureSkateboarding]

Also I wouldn't have known if it wasn't for your vid! 😆
