Basically, I want to put together a big list of skateparks, jumps, pumptracks that are worth visiting around staffordshire and the midlands.

I'll add a few I've visited or know of to get it started.
Jumps have to be of decent size otherwise they're not worth visiting. (3-4 foot+ high lips)

Skateparks

Bottesford Skatepark (Bottesford - Between Nottingham and Grantham)
Alvaston
Burton
Rugeley
Landywood
Stoke Plaza
Burntwood
Tamworth
Hednesford
Fradley
Stapleford Skatepark (a.k.a Hickens) (Stapleford)
Matlock Skatepark (Matlock)

Jumps

Bestwood (nottingham
Wirksworth Trails (Wirksworth - nr Matlock)
Landywood
Stafford (location unknown, any rough pointers would be much appreciated)

Pumptracks or BMX tracks

Bulwell BMX track
Derby - Alvaston BMX track
Crewe BMX track

hey all!

cannock chase , style cop and other side of the car park some nice jumps and dh tracks and some free ride bit of shore there too. some freeride and an 8 pack the otherside of the car park too.

hardwick near sutton coldfeild. nice jump spot has a 3 main lines and a couple that go off and come round and stuff pritty sweet spot.... havent road ther for a while so not sure of what its like now


sutton park 4 oaks jumps. there are always gettin bigger but nice jump spot from gaps to packs and random bits pritty sweet.

3 crowns.. not too much hear just a few big tables and a 6 pack this ones near aldridge on skip lane.

parks just bloxwich and aldridge, landywood/cheslyn hay is prolly the best bet

bloxwich train station is close to it.
its not very big though
its in a place called king georges park just off the stafford road.
theres also a little one in aldridge by the industrial estate its called leiswood skatepark and is near the strugleing monkey pub (dunno if the pubs still called that as looked like was closeing down when i saw it las)

bmx/4x track track in telford
hard to explain to get to but ill give some directions when i find it out. its pritty sweet has a bit of a 4x track and 3 lines of tabletops
not the biggest but its pritty sweet to ride. its also gravel stuff/mudd so its ok in the wet to ride too

=some more spots from me Big Grin

sandhills bronwhills. this has loads of doubles tables and random gaps pritty sweet spot big and small stuff there. this is located just outside brownhills town centre near the canal just over the road from the A5 also theres a little skatepark on the way to it as well if your comeing from brownhills centre.

another spot i have forgot to mention is linley woods in aldridge. this is more of a mess about freeride place. the place is in aldridge on middlemore lane west.
take a shovel if your going hear tho as its one of those places u can always see new lines or nice jumps emerging from. i havent been to linley for around a year tho so couldent tell you what the state of it now is.
