Bowl building photos - Bones Skatepark

[hotdog]

Found a few photos of the bowl we built at Bones skatepark,Stockport back in the late nineties. Bit of a big undertaking at the time,shallow end to deep end with hips - all out of  wood. To give you an idea,it took 9 weeks to build the bowl compared to just 6 weeks to build the rest of the skatepark.

The bowl at Boro is hard to get out of - the big side feels like its going over vert at the top, the bones one is just right, not as mad as it looks.

I never rode in there when it was Bones, but can we ride bikes in there still and can it be hired out if it's called "skate" now

It's only in Stockport which I can do in less than an hour over the hills.....
