Riding spots in Sydney...
MEADOWBANK
Is under an office building. It's lit and sheltered and can hold 6 riders-good when it rains-2 mins from train station

CHERRYBROOKE
Where it all started - Sydney's most known BMX spot-half hour ride from any station-has a skatebowl and plenty of room

HEFFRON
Huge number of netball courts newly surfaced-not accessible without car (near Maroubra)

HYDE PARK
Middle of the city - easy access - many like the spot if you can put up with skaters, people, gaps between the tiles.


AUBURN COURTS
the new GO TO spot. easy access, heaps of space and good surface
