I always thought it was if you wanna wakeboard go to Princes, if you wanna skate go to Thorpe.

Think it might be: If you have good life insurance - brave thorpes changing rooms, if you dont want mrsa head down to princes.

Personally i would rather brave the changing rooms at Thorpe than the Drainage from Terminal 5 that runs into Princes.!!

I used to ride at Thorpe, its where I learnt to ride Cable, but I founf that towards the end of the Summer 2006 peoples attitudes stank! Not to mention a guy actually picking a fight with me (knob with a spiked helmet), as I was told I could get back up on the dock after falling off and have another go!!
After this and a the cold vibe a few friends and I got, we decided to try Princes.
We now ride Princes, riding boat and Cable and enjoy the friendly atmosphere, where even the good riders make the time to talk to you and help you out, rather than grouping off and being Miserys.

I have been back to Thorpe to session the Goodwood and Oshea rails, as it is an awesome park to ride, but I dont expect any friendly conversations.

One more thing, I feel sorry for the Thorpe with the planning permission thing, and I WILL back them anyway I can as the place doesnt deserve to suffer

PS. With regards to post above.
Changing rooms at Princes have 6 showers all which are constantly HOT, and dont trickle cold water out.

I am fully aware of the facillities at Princes they are superb. I am a member there, unfortunately I dont enjoy riding there, mainly because of the water , it makes me feel ill.
I have been riding back at Thorpe recently and i am really enjoying the riding. I put this as priority over all the other issues. ( mind you so many bloody students there today you couldn't get into the changing rooms to catch mrsa even if you wanted to!!)
