Title: Just a few pics I found.
Post by: Coastvl 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

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.

Post by: Ramp Rat on January 04, 2007, 05:55 PM: Glenn - great pics man. And you still have thar old Mongoose? Lucky bastard, looks lovely. Getting wheels out of a knarly bowl in '81 is way rad! Where do you live? Is this down under?
Title: Re: Just a few pics I found.
Post by: Coastvl on January 05, 2007, 11:19 AM: 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.
