Rodga Harvey, Kings Cross ramp. Late 80’s
I never knew it was a vert ramp, only ever saw the cut down version.
Rolling Thunder Brentford 1979. I loved that park
Here’s me learning fakieollies in the shallow end of the Harrow Pool. Early 1980. More air between back foot and the tail than the board and the wall

What was the OG kings x ramp? That dossett pic it looks like about 7ft with vert?!? I know it was cut down to be a mini which makes more sense
Yep, Calthorpe Gardens on Grays Inn Road. It got chopped down at the end of the summer of 1988.
I mean what height was it originally? Looks way too small to be a vert ramp
It was about 6 - 7ft and just went to vert. It was very whippy.
