Snow's coming; who's up for urban in London?

So the forecast is for snow Sunday and Blizzards on Tuesday. Anybody fancy taking advantage and trying some urban in London (the proper London, not the one in Ontario)?

A small group will probably be able to build better jumps up to features then giving it a go alone. I've got an avy shovel, a regular shovel and a car. If anyone else has equipment and is up for it then start posting.

I've got a few ideas of stuff to hit but any other other suggestions would be great. Anyone got a drop in ramp by any chance?!

The snows already here up in Newcastle. :) I just hope it lasts.
Waiting for skis to come or I would have tried some urban up here or built some jumps on the hills.

Get some vids of London, sounds like a cool idea.

I'd be up for that, but normally if there's enough snow for an urban it means the transport networks go down the shitter. So I'd probably have trouble getting into London.

someone for an urban in lausanne? I created a thread in regionals but it still has 0 read and it needs to happen soon!

we could take the m2 (underground) and just shred the streets from "croisettes" to "ouchy". it could be sick. (lausanne is really steep)

here the link for the other thread: https://newschoolers.com/ns/forums/readthread/thread_id/582250/

Do you really think you're going to get alot of people for urban in Lausanne, in a urban in London thread? Come on.

Well I don't want to shit on your guys parade, but i just dont se any of the weather the OP is referring to? No blizzards approaching, and as far as i know there isn't enough for urban yet?

You guys had epic storms last year.  There were a few threads, lots of talk but only one vid and a few stills I think and nothing from London.  Getter done this year.  I want to see documentation of some serious hit and run urban this season.  Get on it wankers :-)

Ahahaha, so good! I'm hoping some of you Brits take advantage of this and get some good pics/vids. As said earlier in the thread, jibbing something with a famous landmark in the background would be so epic!
