We used to jump from the b0llox (the runouts) over to the park, I used to be able to clear the little fence on the other side of the footpath in the last picture  :daumenhoch:

Rad times had a Harrow, for me it was good as I used to skate there (one of the legendary Harrow Boyz) and it's where I saw my first bmx bikes being ridden by Andy Ruffell and Cav Strutt.  Happy days  :LolLolLolLol:

Cocky little buggar too - when you saw him ride you knew why  :LolLolLolLol:

There is so much rideable terrain at Harrow, the snake run was good to ride into from the end, ride the wall high, dive down and jump out of run at the next turn.  Loved pulling no handers, look backs, front wheel grabs, one foot table tops and more out of there, just wish I could still do it today  :LolLolLolLol:

Yep Pete - it was amazing we didn't really know each other back then, what with all the Harrow riding and then you being sat right behind me at the GT World Tour in 85!

It's a small world mate...and can't wait for the rest of Rad to see your Harrow pics - they rock!
