Blood - after the famous skater and roller skater Fred Blood  :daumenhoch:

I think Rom was built by the same team that did Harrow Skatepark, Skateparks Limited from Florida  :daumenhoch:

for a bit of rom history :daumenhoch:

TwoBobRob:
Rom, Harrow and Gillingham were all built by the same team within a fairly short timespan. All three were very similar in their design, yet all very different to ride; Rom being the biggest.

As for the rollerskaters,  sidesurf, surfstyle or blood all relate to the same style.  For the record, I'm not entirely sure Fred Blood was the first person i saw skating like this, certainly Peerless and my mate Gummidge were skating like this before Rom was built  (77?).

540s in that style on vert look mental, really impressive. It would be nice to see a bit more quad skating coming back  8)

mike pardon:
I agree,, Mon Barbour was a cracking rollerskater as was Fred Blood and a fella called Bradley Tubbs from Southsea.They all skated side stance. Now this is before the inline thing...Give me a bmx or skateboard anyday!! Imagine having those things strapped to your legs??? NO thanks

bmxeric:
