Storm was one of Britains first super parks. It is an excellent park for the vert skater and who likes it big, with a 7 foot spine (the best I have ever skated) and the biggest vert ramp in Britain.

The Street section leaves a lot to be desired though for it has no copings WHAT! NO COPING! I hear you cry, this is because the park was originally build for skate boarding and apparently they prefer it that way.

From the top of the vert there is a huge roll in that leads past the 6 foot midi ramp to a jump box that provides more height than your average space shuttle and beyond that there is a vert wall that has 8 feet of pure vert. Drop in if u dare!

On week ends the cafe is open there are ending machines and there are clean toilets, WOW!

Ratings out of ten.
