Going Way Down to Come Back Up For a Date With Skate Destiny

So what do you do on a Saturday if you spent Friday night driving for six hours to get down to Cornwall to visit Whip for the weekend?  Drive for an hour and a half back up to devon with Whip, to meet up with the Bristol boys, and skate the Radness that is PRIME Skatepark in Plymouth, that's what.

I'd never got down in time to skate the old Flatspot park in Plymouth but I did get the chance to skate the Domain park which was Nick Marker's second indoor park in Plymouth, that also disappeared a couple of years ago.  Domain was a brilliant quirky park that made amazingly good use of the floor-space and Prime does pretty well too.  The Ramp-Room that accounts for maybe 2 thirds of the park is my kind of room. Take a look at the photos below.

Fast, beautifully constructed ramps with loads of weird little touches and enough bigger stuff to keep it a challenge. Tom and Joe definitely made good use of the midi section before a combination of cramp and shredded toenails got the better of them, after about 5 hours of skating mind.

Fingers crossed Nick has the magic formula sussed for PRIME to stay around for a good long while.

Had a really good session and it was good to see and skate with Reggie & Son,  Joe, Pob, Mike, Sam/Jesus, Tom, Dougall and Whip.

Get yourselves down there to see what I mean.

referred to as "The Wembly Gap" to 50-50

I've no ideas what Pob is smirking about
but Reg is not amused.
