spesh · « **on:** June 02, 2008, 02:36 PM »

went to chandlers ford today and had the whole place to myself which was good as there was no one to embarress myself infront of

managed to ride into the new bowl which had vert walls and scary as f#k!,first time in 25yrs since i rode in a skatepark on a 20"
so i dont think i did to bad,also managed to ride on most of the stuff there but cant do aerials to save my life

(one day perhaps)
and the haro stood up well better than me infact as ive got blisters and aches (i am 40) but loved every minute of it
took some pics and some vid

Well done

That looks like a great park, where is it

Yes I was expecting to see Pete riding about on a Haro when I first read the title

I know he has a few Haro's that he keeps hid away

looks good ill try and get up there and ride it soon

spesh · « **Reply #8 on:** June 02, 2008, 07:04 PM »

thanx lads

my biggest obstacle was "look at that old man on a kids bike" but it never happened
now i know i can ride some of these ramps and the bowl il be a bit more confident infront of the "rubber people who dont shave yet"

look forward to having a meet up there soon with you fellas,you can give me some pointers on how to fly above the coping

i left it back home but il wear it next time
stace that shredder frame is superb it rides really nice and doesnt feel at all small i can even jump it without the fear of flipping it
unlike my hoffman thanks mate

thanks skids

it took a lot of bottle to go out there and ride my bmx as you can see im not the smallest of blokes
but i so wanted to see if i could still ride a bmx in a skatepark like i did in the early 80,s
brought back so many good memories to
anyone up for a sesh at southsea and i can relive my youth!
