Step inside a flourishing UK skate scene | GREETINGS FROM: MANCHESTER

- England’s cultural juggernaut of a city makes for one of the country’s most interesting skate scenes precisely because it has got so much going against it.
Despite a central architecture that reflects the city’s previous importance to the cotton trade- meaning New York-style tall buildings and relatively narrow streets (the cotton was moved by boats), Manchester’s skate scene has not only survived council bans and inclement weather, but is absolutely flourishing right now.
As Eddie Belvedere notes during the episode: “It’s just constant- it’s just growth, man- it’s never going to stop, I don’t think.”
One of the fastest-growing parts of the Manchester scene is the number of girls skating right now, so we were delighted to bring Margie Didal to skate the city for that reason, particularly.
As she said afterwards: “I was surprised when we got to Manchester, because it was gnarly- big skate scene, especially the women’s scene. It rains from June to December in the Philippines- so indoor parks like in Manchester are super cool.”
We brought Margie, Jake Wooten and Jamie Foy to session with the great and good of Manchester skateboarding, including Lewis Threadgold of the history-logging Manchestalgia Instagram account, so that we could all learn about what is going on within the skate scene in one of the UK’s most character-filled cities, today.
Manchester: so much to answer for!

Municipalities around the world should be supporting and funding skateboard parks. Give someone a skateboard and you keep them occupied for a day. Give your city a skate park, you keep their youth occupied for the rest of their lives.
Or something like that.
im from blackburn about 30 mins from manchester but went to uni there and the scene is solid!! everyone is very sound and welcoming, made me really fall back in love with skating as the scene by me is pretty sparce, this video has reminded me ineed to get down there for a skate very soon
Manchester skatespot always contributed to skating around the spots of all destinations and different streets spots to developing a successful skater in Manchester, United Kingdom!
the pavements in the uk are so bad for skating.
I’m learning that UK got one of the sickest skate scenes

@getlesta aswell
Parks are pooping up all over get over to the UK and check it out just wait for summer 🤣 as soon as you land there's places to skate
Manchester is great to skate. I use to skate there in the early noughties. Was about 40 minute train journey from where I lived. Just finding random spots and skating the park under the bridge.
Did you by any chance mean NINETIES???
lol
@@GratefulOverlander no, between 00-09 is called the noughties.
Thanks for putting UK music in the UK video.
Epic video! RIP Gasworks and The Kerbs! So many new brilliant spots though!
the retro gt makes roger certi
Its sad that mcr council havent built a couple of class street skateparks in the centre, wouldnt cost that much to build like the DIY ones, but they can fund millions and billions of flats and car parks and such. Ggs guys
Their is one DIY skate spot but alot of the stuff has been rekt, but has a nice bank/ledge and gap
edit: didnt finish the video the spot is actually in the video x)
I used to chill in Manchester Town while they were filming this video and it's what finally got me into skating
Awesome awesome yes very awesome yes yes yes awesome cool cool cool very cool awesome awesome awesome!!!!-
Let's start a petition to get crea-ture studios to add manchester into session 20 minits up the road and there is so much to skate they have some of the best d.i.y parks about
MINUTES
Skated Manchester in the 80s Split Skates on a Saturday was insane!
WOW!!!! Forgot about this shop. Got my first proper board from there, aged 10 (1990). The word Templeton wasn't in the dictionary. No clue it was a person til i discovered Thrasher in 1994.
Skated a lot in Manchester in the 90's some of the happiest days of my life..
Is Split Skates still open? Loved that shop
Skatin around Manchesters suburbs is a pain in the arse bcos the pavement is so shite
🎉🎉🎉🎉boston uk has a skate park not tried it🎉🎉🎉🎉
Next Stop: Barcelona
I'm from Colorado & I've heard that Manchester has some sick spots...
'Flourishing' implies it wasn't a sick scene since 2005
That small ramp at 6:52 is better than the wooden trash ramp at my local skate park
