awesome lookback. you obviously had these dialled due to the lack of pads etc. i've ridden that bowl and i wouldn't want to slide off in it.

Cheers Denny, miss spent youth in that bowl. lol. Stopped riding in '87. Rode that bowl for 1st time again at Rom Jam this year. Some pics on the site here.

I rode before freestyle really started to take off so I did "pre-freestyle" stuff. And still do!
This was taken 2 months ago.

Where is that bowl? Looks Rad, narrow roll in by the look of it.

My favourute trick always was and stil is the Abubaca - love doing them on anything I can find. As for a pic of me doing one... in my avatar on the left - me in Penzance skatepark last year!

for me it was the roll back 540, since back riding, which is less and less these days, ive only managed to pull a 360 revert.....

I'd have to agree with Sean - my avitar on the left is me scaring myself on my recently found 1983(4?) Haro Freestyler in Devonshire Green in Sheffield about 6 months ago when I got back into trick riding.
When me and my brother were kids, we built some crazy timber ramps but never rode in a skate bowl (I gave up riding when girls got in the way about '83) so it never fails to make my heart skip a beat everytime I launch out the top nowadays. For some reason I'm still having trouble with drop-ins onto concrete at the moment - maybe it was the fractured skull that stopped me riding 24 years ago that makes me hessitate! Must dig out an old photo my dad took of me and my bro on the ramp we built in the garden afterwards - apparently grass is softer than concrete (apparently !) ;D It still bloomin' hurt though......
