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

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.

Good call on the Pipeline.

I would have loved to have ridden Livingstone and Knebworth too...never got round to it.

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.

Flatcap · « **Reply #11 on:** December 23, 2008, 05:29 PM »

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

Also, not sure where this halfpipe was... the 2hip King of vert contests in 88/ 89...

This is the only pic i could find on Google... recognise it from the wierd tree hanging over it!!

Is it the pipeline that was at Upland CA you are all on about cause if you are its been rebuit.You can see it on google earth- coordinates are 34' 06'11.89" N 117' 38' 03.37"W Its on the San Bernadino road Upland CA just by the junction of N 13th Ave.I read about it on some website a while ago. I rode Rom 25 years ago and every summer I say that I'm gonna go back.I havnt yet but I will...

i always wanted to ride pipelline.
i rode harrow this year after years of wishing i had.

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?
