I know Nick, these kids are spoilt with there nice smooth transitions!  ;D

I must admit though, when i tried to ride it a few months ago i found it horrible, the transition is so bumpy and all over the place.
But we didnt know any different back then did we?

I've got to say one of the things I'm most looking forward to this year is getting down to Rom and riding the P Bowl but I have this horrible feeling I'm going to be deeply disappointed for the reasons you've just said Sean. It's probably the same with Southsea as well but as you say we didn't know any different, in fact, they were top class compared to some of the quarter pipes we used to ride. Can't beat the old 50 pence piece transition!  ;D

They're spoilt rotten these days, we'd have killed for the facilities they have now!  :knuppel2:

I always found it like that, never got on with it to be honest, but then I never aired the pool either BITD, unlike the other week

Not quite Zak Shaw, or Craig Campbell, but hey, I was stoked

I either read it or dreamt it that Zak Shaw said keep left. Was at rom a couple of weeks ago, I offered the lads a £5 for the first person to get out, and ending up doing it myself. Had a few hairy moments, not sure I'd want to go much higher.

the secrect to the rom pool is to avoid the middle, a slight carve and after a few goes it did get easier,

i used to love airing the pool and still love watching riders air it today,

evamedia   i watched you the other week air the pool and i thought you had it spot on :daumenhoch:
