Shanakiel hill resivoir!
I had read about this place on the tubes website and i got directions there, expecting alot more than what I found, its alot of effort for me to get there and getting into & out of the actual resivoir itself is pretty dangerous and not really worth the effort, but if your looking for somewhere else to skate than the usual spots and u've alot of time to waste then check it out, if you dare!! (Trespassers will be bolloxed if caught!)

Shanakiel resivoir.
This is what you'll see when youv'e just climbed the wall to get into the resivoir. You all probably know the 2 big dome things you can see from the road up by the bad bend on shanakiel hill, the resivoir is on this site, walk down and to your left and youll see a high wall, this is the wall of the resivoir just find an easy spot to climb (to the left) and your in but be mondo careful! (mondo meaning very!) |

Resivoir!
Ya this is a gay pic but i just took it with my 10 sec timer to give you an idea of scale in the resivoir, the flat banks are really steep and high i couldn't use em cuz im crap but if you can do stuff of the steep flatbank in woodwrx you can probably do it here. |
Skating outside the opera house.
Skating outside the opera house Has gotten fairly popular! Just check it out about 3 o' clock especially saturday to see the place full of skaters! |

Opera house steps.
The steps outside the opera house look a lot easier than they are, the drain at the bottom has been the downfall of alot of skaters. |
Mark ollies a huge road sign.

The school in kerrypike
the school in kerry pike was good when i started out its got a steep 5 step, small 2-step, big downhill path to ollie onto and ride down, and other crap, not so great but i reccomend checking out schools as most have potential! |
Brian ollies a 5 step at kerrypike school!

The mall!
The mall is another cool cork skate spot and has lots to slide!! The pics speak for themselves! |
Noseslide at the mall!
Even if you can't really use the obstacles at the mall it is cool to just check out the other skaters like this guy who was nailing noseslides n tail slides n stuff all day! |
