Just been given these old snaps of the much younger me skating the bowl at Playing Place. This was in the days before Patrick Best and Andrew Garner built the infamous extension, so I'm guessing it's either 77 or 78. On a Dogown Red Dog - Jim Muir, looks like Trackers, Green Kryps and a home-made tail saver.

Surely early 80s?
ReplyDeleteIs Paddy Best still around and skating?
Glad to see that back knee tucked in a proper manner.
ReplyDeletesurfer - you may be right, I'm sketchy on dates, but it was certainly a long time ago... Paddy still rips.
ReplyDeleteFoulweather - cheers, yes it's always good manners to tuck.
Ta, if you bump into Pat give him my best from Ben who skated at Hollywell bowl. Still skating and surfing but in North Devon these days.
ReplyDeleteWow - I love Playing Place! Never seen it pre-extension. Didn't even realise it wasn't an original feature.
