Sweet....love grainy 80's pics...great stuff. Although my dad was a keen photographer, he had kind of knocked it on the head by the time I was into bmx and I don't have one photo of me on my bike

The steel qtr pipes had loads of vert & the uneven bowl was full of nicked cars , shopping trolleys & Mattresses

Yeah I used to ride Miles Platting a lot. On my bike and board. The ramps were designed by Andy Preston's dad and were a tight 8 foot transition at best. They had a gritty/grippy type painted surface on 'em. The curved trick ramps were fun to ride. The track with concrete berms was bobbins!
Did you ever ride the super-smooth concete 1/4 on the other side of Oldham Road? It was about 25 foot wide. Once you'd swept away all the broken glass it was great even if you had to keep looking over your shoulder for the dodgy locals..
