Canvey' skatepark has been a long term project, and if you aren't a consistent local you're going to be greeted by the unpredicted and random sprouting of new obstacles, ramps and basically whole parks, on the huge expanse of black 'cheese grater' asphalt sprawling along the flat plateau that is canvey Island.
The Park, situated behind the leisure centre continues to pull in a plethora of riders, from the train lines that weave in amongst the pockets of civilisation, littered around the suburbs of south east essex.
A great deal of the pilgrims to the 'wind tunnel' often decide to conquer the journey without the 'aid' of national express opting use their young blood and energiser bunny stamina to cycle back and forth from this and the many other parks that are now littered along the thames estuary.
It seems we are blessed, sun, sea, trannies (of the ramp kind) cafe's all along this stretch and they often bring a good turnout of both riders, skaters and for every one of these it seems a dozen scooters make the trip too.
Without too much of the latter here is a selection from two sessions at the windy, shiny, slippery, shreddery? haven.
Riders featured : Sonny Pope, Jamie Dalzell, Scott Donovan, Jack Mason, Mike Kirkby.
One note.. Sonnys screamy angry face, really conveys the 2 pinch flats he got whilst throwing the 180 bars seen to the left.... We all feel for your tubes man. .. R.I.P..
