Tommy, it looks like it in the bottom of the quarry, between the tree stump and the "track", looking up. He looks like he is jumping off near the old tabletop.Ad

Quote from: keiththompson on October 14, 2008, 09:48 PMJust to add to your opening history lesson... There was the nightmare time (late 80's) when the whole place was planned to be used as a tip and one sad day the then existing jumps we built had been bull-dozed. Still, what was a bulldozer compared to a group of enthusiastic kids with a shovel each, and with a fresh canvess to work on the jumps were re-built, bigger and better than ever. Remember the abuse that council woman got when she and fellow council planners were in the quarry making plans of the "supposed" tip. Was it a petition from the locals "not" wanting a smelly tip in the area that sent them finally packing.You also forgot to mention another person who put a lot of effort into the building... how could you forget your own brother.............TED And finally I think that must be the only pic (and ive only just noticed) that Im riding my 1st BMX ... the mighty Puch Murray... what a suprise to see that again It would have been a tragedy if they'd filled it in, I think I buried that memory away, somewhere dark. I don't remember Ted doing much diggin but I do remember you snappng the Puck and bending those ACS Zeds in half on your redline. I also remember that lad from the Boro takin a hundred yard run up, hittin the table top and sailing over our heads, I wonder if he ever fully recovered from that landing

Paul, I seem to remember getting that wheel off Simon Bostock (martins brother). I swapped the "Z" for the nasty yellow mags I had. Dont remember you running "Z"s?Soaking up the sun? Not really, though it is still warm. Too busy looking for work??Keep the pics coming paul, enjoying them.Ad
