Loving them old school pics. We should get a section on the forum especially for um. So when you fancy a wandered down memory lane and days when you body didn't ache after bunny hopping up a curb :) we'd go there.

Wood was expensive in those days..... gotta say that guys getting a lot of air for when you're not sure you're gonna land back on the ramp.... the first quartepipe I ever rode was built by a guys dad at the hemel track, maybe five feet wide, I'm thankful I always managed to land back on it, but saw some spectacular nosedives off the side of it.....

take care, Mike

Are any of those concrete spots still on the isle?

great pics
i have thought about doing a site where you can upload your old school photos, where they would be permanently displayed (not like that photobucket shite)

but i am a bit skint at the moment and can't afford the hosting fees.

when i am flush i will do it. it will work the same way as the museum!

these pics all need filing somewhere secure!

well its a real shame but the concrete park at golden hill fort ,in freshwater.. is no longer there it was flatened at some point in the 90s, we had some good times there..

it was a 7ft snake run with a bowled section with a run of about 30ft of 3ft high transition,and a large flat area.

r.i.p.
