Skateboarding in Melbourne

Good sk8 spots and sk8 parks:

Apart from now dismantled Sail Yards at Swanston St near Melbourne Central there are many nice spots to skate in Melbourne.

The South Bank is a popular tourist spot in the center of Melbourne near Flinder Street Station. Lots of steps and benches, but you have to come at a quiet time. Here, Mark does a kick-flip down an almost knee-height step.

The Rialto Building, Melbourne's highest building and another tourist spot, also attracts some of Melbourne sk8ters. Although the Rialto 7 has a rather tight landing, Mark does an ollie down these medium sized 7 steps.

NORTHCOTE SKATE PARK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Northcote has just recently gotten a skate park near the plaza, in All Nations Park, where the tip used to be!
First stage features low ramps, a funbox, grind rail and manual pads!
It's concrete, nice n smooth!
There will be a second stage that will include a bowl!

To get to the skate park you get the 86 tram (Bundoora-RMIT)
stop 35 at the lights there's Dennis street, walk down Dennis to the end of the car park, skate park is on the right. Melways: 30,G7 ticket zone 1.
