Came across these pics. of our first 1/4 pipe, Baby Kong, named after BMX Actions trick team's 1/4 pipe, KONG. We built it from the dody instructions out of BAB. They used a weird method I've never see anyone else use. (Normally you get a piece of string the size of the transition you want and pencil a perfect curve onto a 3/4 inch plywood). This method used loads of 2"X2" (not 2X4) to construct a curve, (check the side of the ramp). To top it off, we made it 4 ft wide to save money We went off the side so many times One time TLB came over to take some pics, he had all his expensive camera equipment on the side, flashes and umbella's etc, I came off the side and smashed right into it. He was not happy In fact Ralph Tribe got a pic in Radness Unlimited from that photo shoot, anyone have a scan? It must of been 1983 some time. The bloke on the ramp reading the BMX Action mag is Tony Mackenzie, we were gonna send the pic to BMX Action hoping to get it into their letter page. BTW - I still hang out with Tony Mackenzie, he lives round the corner from me in lives in Venice, Ca. He's still a nutter.Anyone got some other pic of crappy 1/4 pipes?
