Trivia point for you .... before the facelift, the track had a set of doubles and a set of triples. The jumps were like little bumps on the track that you could easly hop over rather than hit cos they were so small, but were still quite far apart. I remember riding there in the 80s with some of the Banbury/Mons ramp crew. Andy Shohara was jumping the doubles ... on his skateboard!

Bendcrete also did a tiny park down the road somewhere didn't they? The slipperiest thing known to man as I recall..... can't remember exactly where it was though...
Doubles on a skateboard. I'm liking that :daumenhoch:

Bencrete have done loads of parks, but they are based in Abingdon so they have done quite a few round here. Most of them are very samey; 1/4 and or flat bank each end with a driveway/grind block in the middle. Sometimes with a mini set up too. And yes, they are so so slippy. They did the new Meanwhile bowls, which are OK. I havent been there for ages. Maybe the surface has weathered a little and taken the shine off it.

It's been brought up many many times. They just overpolish the concrete. Nice to look at for the council types, which is probably why they do it...
Death on a stick to us though eh? ;D
