The first place you ever rode bmx
Pooch:
As said, great thread! Used to go to a place called monkey hills around the back of tooting common. Can't remember if we named it or it was already named? Would have had my team Murrey and my cousin Rich would have been on his burner. We spent hours just make the natural jumps bigger and just egging eachother on to jump higher!! Then the sun would start to fade and the realisation that monkey hills backed on to tooting lunatic asylum would add a bit more fun to getting out and home as quick as possible.. Thanks for this thread . Forgot about that, good old days :daumenhoch:

The place wher i started is no more, the build a appartment place on it.
After that we had a track build by a shovel machine for 25 guilders
we rode on that all day and every week till they decided a sport complexe should come there
in 1981 i started at the new bmx club 5km from my house and i am still a member there

Went to visit one of my old stomping grounds back in High Wycombe a few months ago. Used to ride there pre BMX on my Raleigh Strika when the summers were long and you could go to the woods without fear of being murdered. Known locally as ‘The Dell’ with the big slope down called ‘Big Ben’. Had a few berm style corners and a speed jump and was always packed in the summer. Too wet to ride when I took a look but I’m planning on taking the kids back with their bikes in the drier weather. Happy days. :)

Brilliant julian, great pics, i can imagine that place full of scruffy kids on tatty-but-loved bikes. Glad its still there for your kids to visit and hear your tales. :daumenhoch:
