Missed it by weeks or days or somethin...!
I was in Cali. when it was still there, but never got to it.
Big bloody scary place though - but would have been a memory to cherish had I made it there.
Tell you what though - I made the terrible mistake of NOT riding Wilkerson's halfpipe when I lived 2 mins from it. (For 2 months!!)
Rode it on one of the last days and instantly got 4 foot over the canyon just messin' about on Jason Hassells kuwahara....
Now that is big regret. It was so easy to ride.
If I started ridfing it from day one.......who knows??!!

I never rode Harrow, even though I lived about twenty miles from there. Will have to soon, maybe the old fools will go there next year 8)
Also would like to go to livingston ( is that how you spell it ) looks a great place :)
-
Harrow and Livingston. I rode at ROM twice and Southsea once, but I really didn't like under-vert transitions so I didn't ride much. I kind of just rolled around and watched the locals shred. The second time at ROM I did air the performance bowl. Maybe in 2009 or 2010 I will ride in the UK again and hit those spots. Mike Buff had a really nice ramp that I saw but didn't ride.

Heard that from a few Dave, I suppose it's because it was just so legendary after the Fiola/Dominguez session...Knebworth was meant to be shite too.
-
I thought Livi was pretty cool.
Smaller than I expected but still a cool place.
It's a bit like the "Rom pool Zak Shaw air" though, unless you've seen it you really don't appreciate how good Framey was in it - he ruled!!
Any excuse to post up my fav Livi pic ::)

i always wanted to ride pipelline.
i rode harrow this year after years of wishing i had.
-
Del Mar & there was an old snake run on the Isle Of Wight that Stevie B found online a while back, all broken & sketchy but looked a load of fun... we were planning a day over there but a local contacted Steve & said it had been demo'd just weeks earlier, gutted.
I like these old sketchy concrete places (like southsea!) not too perfect y'know?
