Missed it by weeks or days or somethin...!

I was in Cali. when it was still there, but never got to it.

Big bloody scary place though - but would have been a memory to cherish had I made it there.

Tell you what though - I made the terrible mistake of NOT riding Wilkerson's halfpipe when I lived 2 mins from it. (For 2 months!!)
Rode it on one of the last days and instantly got 4 foot over the canyon just messin' about on Jason Hassells kuwahara....
Now that is big regret. It was so easy to ride.
If I started ridfing it from day one.......who knows??!!

I never rode Harrow, even though I lived about twenty miles from there. Will have to soon, maybe the old fools will go there next year  8)

Also would like to go to livingston ( is that how you spell it ) looks a great place  :)

Harrow and Livingston.  I rode at ROM twice and Southsea once, but I really didn't like under-vert transitions so I didn't ride much.  I kind of just rolled around and watched the locals shred.  The second time at ROM I did air the performance bowl.  Maybe in 2009 or 2010 I will ride in the UK again and hit those spots.  Mike Buff had a really nice ramp that I saw but didn't ride.

Heard that from a few Dave, I suppose it's because it was just so legendary after the Fiola/Dominguez session...Knebworth was meant to be shite too.

I thought Livi was pretty cool.

Smaller than I expected but still a cool place.

It's a bit like the "Rom pool Zak Shaw air" though, unless you've seen it you really don't appreciate how good Framey was in it - he ruled!!

Any excuse to post up my fav Livi pic  ::)

Del Mar & there was an old snake run on the Isle Of Wight that Stevie B found online a while back, all broken & sketchy but looked a load of fun... we were planning a day over there but a local contacted Steve & said it had been demo'd just weeks earlier, gutted.
I like these old sketchy concrete places (like southsea!) not too perfect y'know?
