No, probably not. But you can sort of teach an old man to ride a bowl. Sort of..

Had a meet up the other night with my mate and his kid. Now bear in mind I only ever rode street. No ramps, no bowls nothing (there just wasn't any to ride where I was in the mid school). Any way, we got to Southsea and my mate says "We should start on the ramps". I said "Nah, I wanna do bowls !". I had seen that shit where you come flying down, then use the momentum to whip you onto the walls. So I did this one twice.



But of course as usual I wanted to go to the next level a bit too quickly, so got onto this one..



First run down I was just laughing so much. God, what fun ! I decided first one to just ride up the bowl end and pop out.. Second run I went for it. Got myself up on the wall but it whips you around so quick you barely get a second to think. Before I knew it I was at the end of the bowl. I forgot to turn in.. So I got to the bit on the right and just slid from the top of it to the bottom.





Skin and concrete doesn't mix :D

Still very high on adrenaline I decided to roll in from a ramp on the left and do the jump box here in the middle.



Came flying down, went to pull up and the bars came back lmao. How I didn't die is a mystery. I knew then it was time to turn in for the night. An omen, if you will. Got to meet Effraim though which was KILLER.



The bike is on hold now for a few days lol. Somehow waking up yesterday and getting through the day was more painful than scrubbing with an exfoliating sponge and then spraying on isoprop to make sure nothing got infected. Spent most of yesterday in bed feeling sorry for myself but it's scabbing over now.

I got in a large piece of mirror chrome blue vinyl, so maybe later today I will move onto trying to cut the two downtube decals :)

Midschoolfool:
Decided to give the new vinyl a try. Wow, so much better than the other stuff (which was like foil and easy to damage and kink !).



Here are the others, but I may do these again on this new (better) vinyl.

The 'Standard Byke Co' decals look a little like something a lady might buy from Ann Summers...

Then vibra power are missing a trick.

Right I fitted the test cut decals last night and the planes have to go.





I have two options. Lop off the tail, or just go with a simple "Enola Gay" in text using the font. I think I am going to go with the latter, then build a custom stand and put the plane decal on that :)
