That was cool. Even doing a 3ft air in that bowl is super scary!

Funny seeing kids in tight trousers with bars that are too big for them. How times have changed ... Oh ... Hang on!

I would love to ride there!

A few years back me and my brother set off really early, and drove down with our bikes (from Staffordshire)
The closer we got, the wetter the weather got.

By the time we found the place (that wasn't easy) it was closed due to weather.

Like Graham said, you were lucky to have that on your doorstep BITD.
I bet kids would have rode miles to get there, which probably drove the locals kids mad because it got so busy  :LolLolLolLol:
Nike zip up tops, CW bars, and skyways everywhere, love it  :4_17_5:

That wasn`t King of the Skateparks but the day that Bob Haro,Eddie Fiola and Mike D came to Rom after the Kellogs series had finished filming, it pissed down all day though so their bikes never even got unloaded  :'(
