Where You Rode BITD.

Retrodan72:
Probably been a similar thread before, but today via the 'On This Day' app on FB, I was sadly reminded that last year, I took the dog for a walk around the track we rode in the 80s.

I say sadly, because as you can see, it barely resembles a track. Ok, it wasn't actually a 'proper' track, but it had a start hill wide enough for 3 bikes, 2 decent table tops, a set of doubles, and a good berm.

Proper, or not, me and my mates spent every available hour there from about 83 - 86/7ish.

Coincidently, with Carl's ride a few days away, his route takes us through Lilford Woods where there are a load of trails and jumps, still intact and rideable, since Carl's teenage years, it makes me a bit jealous tbh, as I've though about all the other place in Hawarden and surrounding areas, where we used to ride, and I've got nowt.

So, have you got any then, and now pics of your old BMX haunts?

This is my mate Mike, on his Extra Burner back in 1983,

I did a thread on this subject about 2yrs ago, "the first place you ever rode" i think was the title (someone with time on their hands will be along with a link shortly...)
My early bmx years were split between Crookes cemetery tip, less grim than it sounds, and the Bolehills.
The former is overgrown, the latter is still an amazing place to ride. I finally manned up and jumped the legendary back straight 8-pack last week, for the first time in about 10 years. I've been a regular there     
since 1983. Guess that makes me the oldest, saddest individual for many a mile.

Well there's houses on the make shift track I used in the mid 80's
