Just went back recently after 20 years and the place is incredible. It was amazing back then but now it's really amazing. Both halls are huge spaces with a mini ramp in its own room between them which is accessible from the restaurant that has a dedicated equipment shop where you can replace all your parts, tools and equipment.
Hall 1 is all large quarters, spines and a huge bowl at the back with a spine partially splitting the vert and slightly lower section. In the front there's another spine next to a box jump, both sitting between 6-8 foot quarters and half bowls with a vert at one side. There's also a little quarter that runs up a flat ramp to a hand rail that runs down to a larger quarter with a side vert that runs into the corner of the vert.
Hall 2 enters into an area with a smaller bowl section on the right with a hip transfer that leads over to a higher 3 quarter bowl. To the left of it there's a vert wall and quarter that both run into a series of boxes one of which is a step down that drops further down than the other runs and comes up to a step up which ends with a vert wall.
To the right of this is a steep quarter bowl with a slope flat section that can be transferred or used to return with a little bit more control. Inside the bowl is a couple of flat ledges and it all runs out of the bowl up a small flat ramp with a handrail and ledge then over to and up onto a corner section with ramps, steps, step ups, handrails and a nice ledge. These run round to the right to another small but nice street section with a couple of flat rails, a small quarter and a raised kerb with a manual pad section.
It's a place you can go to and spend a whole day without getting bored. It's child and beginner friendly. I saw parents hanging about watching their kids and in both halls there's a raised area where they can observe almost...
Read moreThis place is located in an industrial area near dumbarton Castle, it is a large unit with a small cafe, shop for bikes, scooters,etc. You can become a member for a yearly fee of £40 which gets you money off of the price of a session. Sessions vary in price depending on how long you want to stay, 1hr,2hrs etc. There are 3 rooms available all have ramps and dips there ranging from beginner, moderate & expert depending on your availability. Room 1&2 are open but room 3 has a huge ramp that ends in a large sponge pit (not for the faint hearted) and trampolines, access to this room is given by a staff member as it needs supervision for safety, you can view it but to use it needs to be booked. This is a popular indoor skate park, the biggest in Scotland. Great for all weather, all ages. There are professional instructors on hand to help or you can book a private lesson to boost confidence or skill. Great value for money, huge&enjoyable. Definitely go, if you love to skate, cycle, blade, or board then this is your place, take you own drink or buy it, even if you can't do any of it equipment is on hand to hire. Helmets MUST BE WORN. For safety knee & elbow pads are advised. A great place to be, staff are friendly, knowledgable and helpful. Definitely...
Read moreThis place is falling apart. Staff don't give you any direction on where anything is. They store their wheelie bins inside the building where the cafe is. The put huge open bins next to tables. Every surface is FILTHY. The toilets are a horror show. Take antibacterial Gel. It's safer than using their boggin sinks. All the kids there swear more than Billy Connelly, but it's hardly surprising as all the staff are swearing at each other too.
Cost: £10 for 2hrs. £2 per entry to the foam pit. &10 for 1 hour in the trampolines. £22. Madness. They even close areas early without any notice. Don't waste your time here. Go to The Loading Bay. It's £10 for unlimited time including foam pit & parkour area which includes trampolines. Their staff are friendly, the place is clean, and the food is great.
Only positive is the ramps. If you've got teenagers who can go on their own it's great for them. But not young kids with parents who want a clean, comfortable...
