Having too much time on my hands, I've taken to looking up famous BMX places on Google earth, inevitably there's a load that probably aren't there anymore and it's sad what happened to them...
http://wikimapia.org/1896485/Del-Mar-Skate-Ranch-site
So aside from addresses found in the downloads from http://oldschoolmags.com/index.html , I can't find an address for the old Pipeline Skatepark in Upland. there's a new one ( http://www.socalskateparks.com/park/Upland ) that's not as good and I don't think it's on the site of the old one. I think it was a few blocks over near the sports ground. Although that's just a guess. Anyone got the address or went there in the 80's and remembers...?
Any one else taken up this sad hobby? :LolLolLolLol:

I drove past Del Mar Skateranch on the I5 just the other day, its now a fun park and golf course :(

Pipeline blew me away when I seen it in Freestylin' for the 1st time...I seen some overhead shots of it recently and the place looked HUGE :shocked:

I've got a scanner and no pictures of Wicksteed... :)
In the mean time... Wallows! ... just realised this is kind of a skatespot and I'm on a BMX site but old habits die hard... which is why I'm here.
Anyway... big drainage ditch that runs along way down a hill in Hawaii... WALLOWS
