Huddersfield, skate mission

Secret skate spot with Be Good Skates.

When my good friend Len contacted me and asked if I would be up for a Huddersfield, skate mission at a secret spot with the team from Be Good Skates I was really happy.

Going back a fair few years, I spent a good twenty years of my life skateboarding and was always on missions to find secret skate spots. Len sent me a picture of some drainage ditches at a reservoir in Huddersfield and I got really excited. It was like the good old days heading out to pastures new, the only difference was I usually take a camera and not my skateboard.

I met up with some of the girls from Be Good Skates, who were lovely and helped me relax. My plans are always a little bit more ambitious than the girls skill level so sometimes I have to add a little encouragement in my unique way. The setting was amazing, some drainage banks with a hip about 45 degrees.

I spent about an hour just watching the girls skate and capturing some pictures, it was a really lovely relaxed afternoon and it took me back to my childhood days.

Make sure you check out the good folk at Be Good Skates and if you want some pictures of you skating or doing any other hobby then please just give me a shout john@johnsteelphotography.com
