has anyone got any info or pictures of the pool in Neasden? it looked so much fun
Paul Davis, Harrow halfpipe. 79ish I reckon
I remember there being an article in Rad, but never skated it. Looked fun, but I don’t think it lasted long Found this of some people skating it in the rain.

Nice post Anon. Rare to see Penny as well as the rest of the entourage in footage I havnt seen before. When I first heard the stories from all the older lot in Leamington growing up it honestly captivated my imagination sooooo much and when I first saw the Menikmati bonus young penny footage with the Leamington boys club spine towards the beginning…that was literally the day I just kinda started majorly improving on mini ramp. I will say though…the first EVER blunt kick flip was actually my hederal skate friend Jack “Biggles” Robison. We both bought our first set ups on the same day in 1999 and met at the ramp and forever slated together. He took to mini ramp like a duck to water and he learnt blunts and without being able to kickflip on flat he learned flip out the same day with a wide board and huge wheels. Later that year I learnt blunts and flips out after mastering Ollie and flip fakies. AND ONLY THEN…I saw on a 411vm chaos Date Won bust one on a 1/4 in a comp and then my pal showed me Pennies Venus in Furs section. I was obsessed.

Has anyone got any pics from the mini-ramps with spine, rollover and hip that were in Dorchester Park in North Cheam back in 1990?
