Default Skaters/free runners at Leicester?
 
I've applied to Leicester this year for medicine, although not feeling to chipper about my chances but still...

i used to skate a heck of a lot, but stopped when most of my mates buggered off to uni. I was wondering what skating's like at the uni and if there are many other skaters up there? i'd love to get back on my board ...

Also wondering about free running, have recently taken that up and heard that it's popular at a lot of unis?

Default Re: Skaters/free runners at Leicester?
 
I don't know what the free-running scene is like but there is certainly a few people who do it - a friend of mine does it and she knows a few others. The campus has plenty of different levels/walls/steps/ledges etc to keep you going. For that matter, there are also groups on campus in the evening on bikes/skateboards - maybe just local kids - but the campus is clearly a good place for those sorts of activities. Might be an idea to see if there's a society for it, and if not, make one...

Not to take the piss, but it does look like there a few: http://www.google.co.uk/#hl=en&q=leicester+skatepark. There is one just outside uni as well, but it doesn't look that good (I don't skate).
