    hey roguey any good spots in castlebar or thereabouts?

    if yer fit for a roadtrip and easily amused try "the lost skatepark" in strandhill, there´s a few ramps worth the skate with a bit of creativity

    yeah theres a good few spots i suppose, not bad for a small town lik, i'll post up some pics of the towns finest for ye tomoro:) deffo a shit towns tour, anythign that'll get some skating goin on ere!

    OT- has anybody ever had experience with putting angle iron on public ledges, we wanna do it on one the ledges in town, but dunno wheter to go ahead with it or not. we wanna do it cause the ledges are good as in perfect height etc, and you can do slides on it, but not a chance of ne grinds, even with a serious amount of wax on it it'll still stick..just wondering if anybody has done it and gotten in trouble with the law etc..

    these are the ledges im talkin bout:



    wer only gonna do one ledge, (this is our main spot in town i suppose when its dry)

    cool ledges, get some no more nails in a tub and run a smal line down both sides of the angle iron, press it against the ledge and hold it, or sit on it for ten mins and then leave to set for a bit, sorted...
    i have two 6 foot pieces here if thats the length of them? Looks like a good wee spot to hit..

    measured it today, 7 ft exactly. yeah i saw that no more nails stuff in homebase today, with that and the angle iron, its costing bout €25, it'll be worth it though!

    Grip fill is cheaper than no more nails and more hardcore. For best results wait until the ledges are good and dry. Do it at night and leave a few breeze blocks on top of the angle iron, then go and take them away a soon as ye can in the morning.Let it settle for another day, then shred. Try not and do the ledge most obvious to passer bys and it shouldnt get noticed, if it does the council dudes usually think they did for some reason or other, but if they cop they will just ususally remove it with no big drama.

    yeah its a good spot!

    Right wer gona does this on friday night hopefully, pretty late lik. let it sit for the night and next day and shred it on sunday :)

    one thing as well, the only angle iron i can find in town, is actually aluminuim, will that stil be alright? it seems like it'll do the job. And also its only 25mm wide on either side, so its small enough, but i think it'll suffice ok, i hope..

    Pretty sure the angle iron on Portobello is aluminium and that grinds fine Tom.

    We were just skating at Market Square there when a guy walking past stops and tells us about his brother who has started a petition to get a skatepark here in Castlebar! I dont know who is is, as i thought that there isnt any other skaters in Castlebar apart from the 3 of us, so i dont know who the fella that started it is, but theres an online petition set up, so i was wondering if anybody on Boggin could sign it as well? the more people the better as this would be so good to get for us!

    heres the link:

    the link to the petition is down a bit
