Me and Trill went to hastings today - cool park, then to a bowl we'd heard about. What a strange find, wouldve been superb when built but was on its last legs, with rusty panels, its in the cassette video, baz keep riding it

sweet mate and i see the axe man was out to play hehe
-
rich check out the backyard anthology vid its in there loads
-
That's Crowhurst, I didn't even know it was still there, some awesome radness has gone down there including the world's first 360 flip by Zak Shaw.
-
yeah its still rideable, wouldnt want to fall off as it'd probably slice your arm off! it would be amazing if repanelled in wood as the transitions are real nice especially the vert section, even pumping round it was well fun
is the backyard box set thing out yet? i'll get it if it is
axeman? is that relating to trills facial expressions? looks like he's 'knocking one out' ;D
-
those are top pictures mate :daumenhoch: that bowl does look a bit beaten up though, top marks for riding that. i'm loving the finish on Trills bike :daumenhoch:
-
i sleped there lastnight lol
-
whereabouts was the above park, please? I'd like to check it out seeing as I live reasonably close.
Cheers
HRD

hastings is a cool park, real nice hips into the mini and volcano, we got there at 10am, it was empty, probabaly a good thing we missed you lot then if there was 20 of ya :LolLolLolLol: i like empty parks, Trill wanted to get there for 8am (he is a posty!)
-
That looked a cool weekend Billy..........one for the scrap books that! i bet you'll be talking about that one for ages :daumenhoch:
-
it would be good to find more spots like that, i love riding new parks/spots, i try and go somewhere different as often as possible - harrow or camdens new park next :daumenhoch:
-
Looks a cool spot lads, great pics too - man I love it when the sun comes out!!!
-

Let us know when you plan to ride Harrow mate....i only live about 30 minutes from there so i'd be well up for meeting you there :daumenhoch:
Harris........a peg in the ankle? how does that not suprise us ::) ;)
-
i filmed jon parker riding there, hes rad. dennis used to keep that ramp in great condition, seems no one goes there much, shame , so many bikes snapped in halve over that jump :)
-
yeah if i lived near it i'd restore the thing, its a mad ramp, looks like it was built in dark ages or something, shame the coping is a bit rusty and sticky, the dimensions of it are superb though, real nice transitions!
yeah pickle i'll stick up a post in the gatherings for harrow, as its another oldskool spot we're gona hit on another nice day :daumenhoch:
-
anyone got any old pics of riders in the crowhurst bowl?
