Ah Bedminster Park, we used to have some great times down there before they filled it all in.  The half pipe is still there though.

Great pics  I especially like the last one .. Seeing how many bikes you can jump  15 was my record at Pennington flash .... ( and still stands as it's all gone now )       I wish I had some photos like that ... Thanks for sharing them .

glad you like the photos,dug a couple more out ,got loads of skate ones ,but heres a couple more bmx shots and 2 really early shots [1981] which look gloomy as fook,but super cool,esp like the one with the old lady watching the skater go down the snakerun.

some of those are of "jitsy", legend, he had a chrome gt performer at one point, he was proper mint!

I still pop in the skater sometimes, I think the new ramps and refurb will do the place justice, the old ramps were super tired.

I remember shouting for the bowls (now filled in)... bowl 1!, 2 then 3!!

ahhhhhhhhh memories!

This was probably the only time I went to Bedminster. Around '85/6 I think. This skater was a local called Spex.
