Just a few pics I found.
« on: January 01, 2007, 11:52 AM »
I was digging around today and come across these buried at the bottom of a box. I haven't seen them in about 10 years.
I thought I'd share.
They were taken around 1981. The bowl is a local bowl called Fivedock Park. I spent every weekend in this hole in the ground. I find the graphics graffittied on the walls amusing. They remind me of the good times. I still have the bike too!
The Kid on the Torker was a local and he was a great rider on a bike and a skateboard.
Enjoy.
Glenn

Heres what the bowl looks like today. It's getting a few additions next to it apparently.

I see you stand like greyhounds in the slips,

 Follow your spirit, and upon this charge
 Cry 'God for Harry, England, and Saint George!'

Yeah it's still there. It's right in the middle of Fivedock park in Fivedock, Sydney/Australia. You comin over soon? Theres much better parks around Sydney now. That one holds lots of memories for me though.
This is a link to Sydney's #1 park.

Yep I still have the bike. A few bits changed in the next few years but basically it's still the same. That bowl is in Sydney/australia where i lived for the first 23 years of my life. I'm in Queensland now. Hervey Bay to be exact.
