SPOT CHECK: Boneyard Skatepark

Boneyard Skatepark needs no introduction. It’s been a staple of the greater Chester scene since the mid 1990s, its gradually evolving wooden ramp setup seeing every kind of rider roll through in the past 25 years.

It’s a skatepark rich in history, but it’s seen some tricky times over the years. Only a couple of years ago there was a big push via a crowdfunder (thanks to Owain Clegg) to help support the park and keep it alive for future riders. Thankfully it’s still there, it’s still evolving, and riders keep ripping it.

We went down recently with a good crew of guys to shoot the video and photos you see here. Hell of a session. One of countless big sessions this park has seen! Here’s to many many more.

Riders: Ellis Lloyd, Ben Towle, Joe Ferguson, Mike Hullock, Cam Morton, Fred Sankey, Jack Hall, Cam Harrison, Tom Bowya, Harvey Horne

Clearly, there’s a lot on offer at the Boneyard. Big transitions, tight transitions, tranny hips, flatbank hips, a proper jump box, proper rails and ledges… It’s a solid design.

Everything is in one room, so it’s possible to ride the whole lot in one line if you want.
