Ashton Gate Stadium
Skate Spot
Known primarily as the home of Bristol City Football Club and the Bristol Bears Rugby team, there is a long, smooth, car-free path alongside the stadium.
It's suitable for longboard and surfskate beginners to practice basics like pushing, carving, and foot braking, while intermediate and advanced riders can experiment with flat ground surfskate drills and longboarders can work on freestyle tricks or dancing routines.
