Title: Pics from the bowl in cassette vid
Post by: dirtyvans on April 08, 2007, 09:24 PM
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

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

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 :)
Title: Re: Pics from the bowl in cassette vid
Post by: dirtyvans on April 09, 2007, 09:47 AM
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:
