Where to cruise in Hampshire?!

**IceTrey** · 05-04-2009 09:45 AM

I live in Portsmouth, and my mates and I are bored of our current spots, anyone know of any decent hills or roads, with almost no cars, where we can cruise and slide a bit in the Hampshire area? We currently cruise in Southsea mostily, but it is pretty flat and uninteresting.

aah. i go occasionally. it worries me a bit coz of the bumps. but it is good for bombing.

there are a couple of other good car parks as well. Asda, near fratton is good, i found out recently. and also there is a car park right next to the police station by commercial road, but you have to go late coz of security. since starting the thread i have found many places. me and my mates occasionally go to rowlands to do hills there.

also, do you, or your friend, by any chance work at the co-op by palmerston road?

If you've got transport try getting to Farley mount near Romsey
spot on for all sorts,cruising,downhill quiet roads & fine scenery
or maybe around the old mental hospital at Knowle,Catisfield way

hey, if your on facebook join the xss fan page, thers a great lot of us that meet up on sundays and wednesdays at southampton uni and go from there, we make the most of what we've got and there are some wicked hills for sliding when its wet and bomming when its dry and we go on some nice carving trips thru the common and all over really you should come along

Southampton common is great for cruising

**gavmck** · 12-27-2009 01:30 AM

Definitely hook up with the Southampton XSS and go for a skate with them. Othwerwise come on over to longboard-sessions.co.uk and see if there's anyone about in your area. Bournemouth has some gnar up durly and the suchlike as well.
