Just wondering- wanna get back into bmx

It is indeed although I'm not so sure they'll be welcoming of bmx as they would be to skateboards/rollerblades because the biker's tend to put holes in the ramps :eek:

Know any good bmx spots around city centre? ( please dont say baggot st

)

I'll tell you what I think - Dublin is a skate/bmx spot graveyard - it's depressing - there's next to nothing besides Ramp 'N Rail and Ramp city in Swords. There's a few nice spots around swords/airport but that's about it, any new possible spots come with built in blocks/spikes/gaps in ledges/rails and what have you now

There's bugger all and anything that's good tends to be kept under wraps to prevent mass influx onto someone else favourite spot which will eventually see it closed down as it gets too much attention - it's getting as bad/worse as local surfer's with their waves at the moment

I'd say the best place for you might be Thomastown Skatepark down in Kilkenny - big - outdoors - nice ramps and designed by bikers so you should be right at home - worth the daytrip - plan on heading down there on Saturday for the WDC tour myself

Lemming boy you never go to ucd!!!!!!! anywho what is it you want? there are stairs lots of places, if you want rails there are perfect ones at landsdowne house in ballsbridge but it's a bust on weekdays, i did a front board shuv on them today (i skate), ucd is cool for the flatbanks but im bored of the rest of it, say what you want and i can hopfully tell you where the best place is, P.s ramp n rail dont allow bmx i dont think and in ramp city your only allowed in on sundays(i think)

ramp n rail is good, but no huge bowls to attract pat duffy!

If Pat Duffy were in Ireland im almost positive he'd go to RnR. Willy Santos was there for the 4th of July.;)
