🥁DRUMROLL PLEASE🥁

Planning is imminently going in for an extension to the existing Skate Ramp with this quality bit of kit!

Currently situated in Truro until tomorrow when it will make the long journey down the road to Woolacombe!

Custom built Galvanised Steel frames with a Skatelite board finish.
Perfect for skate boards, bikes & scooters.

Approved for the go ahead by Mortehoe Parish Council,
The Woolacombe & Mortehoe Community Fund will fund this incredible bit of kit for the use of the parish but we will also need to Crowdfund for some funds as it will sit on a concrete base.

We will post links once this is 100% going ahead.
We just have to keep our fingers crossed for a positive outcome with the planners!

All being well we hope to get this up and running by the summer!

It’s now five years since we finally managed to get the Woolacombe half-pipe open — built by the community, for the community.

What started as an old and unwanted ramp in someone else’s car park became something real for us because people showed up, got stuck in, and didn’t give up. No shortcuts. Just grit, graft, and a shared belief that Woolacombe deserved better — and we wanted to put the wrong right after we lost our last ramp back in the early ‘90s.

Since then, it’s been well used, well loved, and it’s still standing — regularly skated, tested by the elements, and patched up when needed (thank you, Mr Polton). It’s far from perfect — I know — but it’s ours.

Massive thanks to everyone who helped get it here — you know who you are. Every hour volunteered, every screw turned, every bit of backing mattered, so thank you to you all.

Let’s be honest — it’s probably got more filler and screws than original wood by now, but it’s still standing. The ramp won’t last forever, but what we built together still matters — and that’s worth remembering.

Big shout to George… sorry you were not successful with the Olympic qualification. We wish you luck with the next trials George. Keep up the hard work and dedication - you’re an inspiration. We will hopefully see you at the next Olympics!

We need a local training facility that can better support you and others like you.
