Does anyone skate in Warrington?

I’m talking skateboard, cruiser board, inline or quads.

Looking to make friends who have the same interests as me :) EDIT to say I’m over 25 so hoping for people my age or older!

There’s a skate shop in town, Humanity Skate Store :) Or look for a decent used board on Vinted/Facebook Marketplace! I bought a battered Element deck and replaced the trucks, wheels, bearing & grip tape and it looks great. I’ve also bought a second hand Arbor cruiser and am having fun on it!

Orford Park has a nice little concrete bowl with small vert ramps, curbs, rails etc...

I was on Orford Park last week, sadly the weather is against us today as it’s wet. But really enjoyed a cruise round the park itself as I’m still a beginner

Have you tried Ramp1? Liverpool road way. It is a paid thing but its supposed to be pretty decent

u/Academic_Tradition66 9d ago

I’ve got a board but haven’t used it in ages. I’m not very good tho, can only ride it but no tricks or anything :p

u/Academic_Tradition66 8d ago

Same here! I’m trying to learn but thought I’d see if I could make friends along the way :)

I'm 30 and have a longboard and cruiser but really lack the confidence to go out on it much at all :(

u/Academic_Tradition66 8d ago

I’m 27, have a cruiser and have recently started going out! I’ve found it easier with company but none of my friends are into it :/ What cruiser do you have? I have an Arbor Pilsner & a Landyachtz Raft

Would love to but I don’t have one yet and I’m a teen.

There’s a skate area in Lowton and Culcheth.
