Title: --- Bournemouth Track Early 1984 ---
Post by: Stodgy on January 20, 2007, 10:45 PM: Just been going through all my old photo's I found in my mum's loft and I've scanned and posted loads in the freestyle section tonight...but I also found some I took of Bournemouth track in very early 1984, just before I hung up my race pants and took up skateparks...thought you race guys might like them. :daumenhoch:

Post by: team_teapot on January 21, 2007, 06:12 PM: no the stand pipe is to remain where it is. however reservations are being taken on a first come first served basis and for just £20 you can reserve a place within sight of this feature

Come to think of it those Americans were quite the spiritual type( Mike Miranda springs to mind) Praise the Lord :angel:
Sorry Dave still don't recognise you from back then
