Skate Parks in London

On Saturday, I went skateboarding in the skate parks around London. The best one was Bay Sixty6 under the flyover bridge, which is near Camden (around North London). One park, called Stockwell, is really famous and is close to my house.

I won a competition over there a few months ago, but there hasn't been any since... I hope there are some good skate parks in the U.S. In London, people really like skaters--policemen would even encourage us to do some tricks in the streets! It's a shame skate parks cost so much to build. The Stockwell skate park cost about £ 80,000 to rebuild.
