In Sydney where I used to live, the best bowl was Fivedock. I lived there every saturday and sunday. It was a 2 hour trip on a train and riding. It was worth it though.

Southbank use to visit my cousin in the big smoke a lot in the 80's, Southport race track and Edge lane liverpool. Not exactly a mecca but most of my memories come from just riding in Birkenhead park with my mates.

Rom for me too, we used to get there on the District line, from Wimbledon Park to Elm Park I think, about 30 something stops.
Also Southbank, would ride there from Streatham.

I'm sure we've probably met then because i used to go with Dean Rush and the Zoid, also rode with Lee Reynolds and Mike Canning there a few times and that would've been around 87-89. Wonder what ever happened to Graham Marfleet, always seemed like a nice guy and good rider. Stopped going there when someone tried to mug me and a couple of mates at the train station and my mate threw one of the muggers on the track!!!! never went back after that!

stuntmaster · « **Reply #20 on:** January 18, 2006, 02:48 PM »

i had some interested times what with muggings at meanwhile 2 and meanwhile gds as that where i got done and nearly lost my haro master . also had a mad time once at southbank what with a group of people trying to mug us but luckly for us i knew agu bubu very well as rode a lot of flatland with him bitd and he helped us out and the tosser`s never touch us again . the dean i knew was dave dean he was a friend of howard`s i think real nutter on bmx doing fake wall rides on anything .

Has to be Southbank really. The first place that I really felt I fitted. I used to go there with Paul Zak, and Paul Gerlach. Loved it. Then met Aju, Colin Platts, etc all. The Romford, and then Chingford. Rom was ace, but the Chingford lot were just sooo funny. I think Davros is still in the scene now. I got my head cracked at Southbank by Jason Lunn. In hindsight, we were both a couple of w*nkers, so I don't harbour any I'll feelings to him.

Also, going to get a new bike once I get my Bonus in March! Had far too many solicitors bills lately to buy a bike before now
