Pool pics are legend, any pool will do, but FFS don't try & drop in ;)

Never been to Harrow but I will go this year before it's bulldozed, is the pool there as scary as the one at Rom?
Respect Dan and Billy but there's only one fella ruled that pool and that was Zak Shaw, that black and white pic of him in there is insane. How the fook he got as high as that from that fooking pool still baffles me to this day. I also love the one of Glyn Lewis at Gillingham as that was a scary pool/bowl too.

MR Frame is INSANE - beautiful pic :4_17_5:
ZAK in the white bowl at ROM is sick...I saved it to my desktop.
Andy Ruff in the Harrow pool is killer for it's time, I remember that issue well, they tested the PK Ripper...lovely bike!
Pool riding is where it's at...the early pic. from the US of Fiola, Mike D. at Del Mar and Skate City (black and red tiled pool) were sick too. Anyone have any US pool pics.?

(It's raining and Aileen's workin' so I got F@CK all else to do!)
By the way - anyone else notice the difference between the cover shot and the first shot here...? He's switched his back brake lever to the right hand side so he can do 1 foot 1 handers and not drop the cranks....!
Used to do exactly the same thing!

Top man Gary! Those pics are awsome. Always loved that pic of the bone air, with the group of watchers in the background.

Brillant - Gary - love the Mike D. pics....I remember that issue well - that front cover is killer, love evrything about these pics. the bike, the bowl, the clothing, the number plate, the style, 1983 baby. These are the pics that made ROM so appealing for me.
Daz -Here's the one of ZAK - I still can't get over how rad this air is: :wtf:

Wow! That's just not possible.....but he did it! HOW? Zak rules!

Nice one Damo.....that is just the maddest picture EVER from Rom!
For those of you who haven't seen or been in the pool at Rom, trust me, that is just fooking INSANE!
Loving the Livi pics Gaz, cool footplant and the lookback rocks too! Looking forward to your thread on just Livi pics.
Daz. :daumenhoch:

the picture of Zak in the pool at Rom is insane - I have never seen it before but it's probably the most amazing bowl picture I have ever seen - because I remember just how tight that white bowl is - I just would not have believed that height was possible unless I had seen that pic - awesome - it's now my screensaver too!
Great pics of Livi - I remember riding that park 25 years ago testing a Haro for ABMX (below) - amazing park - it used to sit in the middle of nowhere back then but it looks like they have built right up to the edge of it now!
(http://www.radbmx.co.uk/archive/albums/jj90/ralphtribe/DSC02545.jpg)
Also, here's the legendary Tony Mac at Livi during the same test - probably the coolest kick-turn he ever did ('cos he generally just did massive airs) - LOL

zach shaw riding the pool at rom is the most awesome pic i have ever seen in that bowl.
other than that, crazy pat (arma) rides it really well. gets a few feet out and does some neat variations too.
i was always too scared to ride it. in fact i only rode it for the first time ever last year after i saw a video clip of mini chubs bailee riding it aged 4. :-[
