.....called at my Mams the other day and she'd been digging up the old snaps and found some of my very earliest photos. They're a bit naff but I was only a nipper at the time, round about 1980/81 I think, the Southsea one was a little later. Check out the tight jeans and the quite large ginger barnet!
Got some more to scan in soon when I get chance. :daumenhoch:
Daz.
Absolutely no idea what the fook I was trying to do at Southsea on top of the Key Hole Bowl, classic early 80's balancing trick and me bunny hopping my mate outside my house, you can just see the back of my Dads Granada Coupe 3.0 Ghia. ;D

These were at a well dodgy Skatepark in Newquay, severely under vert bowl but it was quite deep so with a bit of effort you could get air out of it but it was wicked for jumping out of.

These were at a demo in Sheffield, can't remember the place but it was while I was riding for A & B Wheels in Sheffield, mid way through a 360, taking a run up to something :-\ and a stall on the kick ramp.

was there a go kart track next to that park?
We went for hol's a few times to newquay back then and we went for a day to a go kart track which had a skate park on the side.
Me and the bro were well into bmx and just wanted to ride the park

Thats the one.The go kart track is still there but the bowls went years ago unfortunatley.However there is concrete popping up in cornwall again.
