Title: We got a nice new quarter down the local park.
Post by: BrianP on July 28, 2008, 09:50 PM

Headed down to the local park last night (Unit 13 in Belfast) and tried to "grow a set" that'd let me pedal fast at the new quarter they've recently built...

Here's the results (sorry for the quality, they're screen shots from a short vid - need to figure out how to edit and upload it...)

Thanks for the comments guys!
Heading back down there tonight, will see if I can get a wee bit more room between me and the deck....

I've uploaded a (low quality) vid of it onto my new blog @ www.fortyonethirty4130.com. Didn't know how to upload one on here  :idiot2:.

I get that all the time... just comes and goes...   ' POP-OUT-ITIS '

one day i'm getting 7- 8 ft.... next day i panic if me wheels so much as slightly leave the coping!!

I dont get it....

I remember an article in Invert mag about how Andy brown overcame the mental block...

i'll see if i can find it!!
