Title: Re: Wanted to share this pic of me
Post by: woody allen bars on July 11, 2007, 05:05 PM: Yeah, Cornwall is a concrete haven - three beautiful concrete parks within 20 miles of each other (plus one or two old geezers riding their 20" bikes in them and reminiscing about the early 80s at Holywell Bay skatepark - RIP :()

May do. One of the first BMX races down here was held at Holywell, sometime in '81 I think. We rode there 'til it got dug up in '92 :'(

Post by: woody allen bars on August 03, 2007, 12:12 PM: I try to ride Hayle every Saturday if I'm at home and it's dry. It's not bad, although the transitions aren't the best, Tuckingmill is way better. Here are a few pics:

Title: Re: Wanted to share this pic of me
Post by: SaMAlex on August 03, 2007, 02:15 PM: Oh yes, Ive read about that place. Im not sure I'll bother. If it was last week I was down there I would cos my boys would love to see loads of diggers!

I think we are going to go to 'Digger world' on the way home.

Post by: Goose1 on August 03, 2007, 02:23 PM: I'm in Hayle for a week from the 18th of this month....I'm staying in a caravan park (atlantic coast), is this place far?
Title: Re: Wanted to share this pic of me
Post by: woody allen bars on August 03, 2007, 03:22 PM: It's right around the corner from where you're staying Jason ;D (Good surf spots along that bit of coast too!) Best go early in the morning as it get's fairly busy from 11 onwards.
