Billy - That is HUGE - there was a big bowl in Putney called Wheelies (I think) that looked just like this bowl except this bowl has a scenic backdrop, Putney had the High Street in the background.

i remember as a kid going to a place over camden way that had a big bowl like that . we had to leave after 10 mins as loads of dodge folks came over trying to tax our bikes

billstup · « **Reply #4 on:** October 31, 2006, 10:29 PM »

It`s got to be 20 foot from top to bottom, perhaps it`s not in this country

Yeah I posted it up before but no-one knew where it was then either. I think it was off a site that had a few pics of some bfa comps on it, I think there was some pics of Pepi on there

that's kettering (wicksteed park) skatepark, chilly (david childs / rampchilds ramp builder) was a local. the guy who did the 2 fakie backflips 2 weeks after hoffman did them at mansfield was from there as well. he then did a wallride in a tutu at the alfreton 1990 christmas bfa comp and fractured his skull. oh yes.
the one time i went `1990 i think, there was a seriously 70+ year old guy in red cagoule with full beard rollerskating that bowl.
it got demolished 91 0r 92 i think.

While on the subject of old skate parks, what was the park called in the center of london? and can anyone remember the name?

billstup · « **Reply #21 on:** November 01, 2006, 12:32 AM »

Do you mean Skate City which was in Toolely St. just down the road from where the London Dungens are now

RATTY · « **Reply #22 on:** November 01, 2006, 12:33 AM »

Cheers Bill, I have been trying to remember for ages...Have you got any pics?
