On The Road with Owain Clegg
I’ve just got back from a long weekend of filming with Owain Clegg. We wanted to an edit that would a bit different and so drove around a few outdoor parks in Scotland to try and film at some park which haven’t had much or any exposure before. Our journey started out at Dumfries and took us all the way up to Elgin via Aberdeen. It was a long way, 1400 miles in all, but a pretty fun weekend. The video should be up by the end of the week but here are a few photos from the way for the time being…
First stop, Dumfries. Just across the Scotish border.
We met Hamish, Monkey, Ben and Teddy at Evolution Skatepark in Ayrshire and they took us to this spot that we already searched round for two hours to find!
Stopped to see what there was to ride at the Falkirk Wheel. A monster James Bond timing death gap. Not going to happen this time…
Finally at Elgin. A long way but worth it!
The Journey!

A twenty foot piece of extruded aluminium, 15kilo weight, a headtube from a United frame, Trinity forks, Manfrotto tripod head and a stolen bread tray from Co-op in Bredbury…

You guys should have checked out the Buckie Skate park 16miles from Elgin on route from Aberdeen.

You missed out the best skatepark in the north east of Scotland when you were at Elgin, a little bit along the road at Buckie you would have found the best by far and it can also be skated at night under the flood lights which gives it a totally different dimension, so two parks for the price of one.
