Title: Washington Oval mid-late 80's

This place was our Mecca. We never had skateparks so we made do with a few 1/4 pipes and developed the scene ourselves. Great times  ;D

Cool pics Dave.

I know the new schoolers 'mega click' their look backs these days but they still NEVER look as cool as the old school, hip hanging style from back in the day!

As you know mate, me and Slade went there and we fooking rode from Newcastle train station, not realising how fooking far it was. I'd an idea but Dave thought it wouldn't take us long, yeah, right oh!  :uglystupid2:

Daz.
