This popped up on skate kookery the other day. My 2nd board. I think this was actually worse than the surf flyer

[Spike]

Nope , not in the halfpipe.

No coping, no flat bottom, no platform. Romford was the same but they cut a bit of the wall down

[Spike]

Yes I skated there many times

I think this thing ended up in Lincolnshire in the mid 80s.
Possibly same company that made Kennington but this one was fibre glass - any further info appreciated.
I believe Lee Bryant might have had something to do with it.

Same manoeuvre, same location but 40 years separates this and the last photograph I posted. 1978-2018, Harrow halfpipe. @skate.flyer

Cherry Willingham?

sounds likely in terms of geography

[navitronic]

[Mike]

Looks like Cherry Willingham. Found this old Lee Bryan film. Looks fun to skate.

Get in, I was right about the Lee Bryan(t) connection too it seems.
Cheers for that

[Spike]

Nope, not the same guy

Mick Forster, Harrow halfpipe 1989. Quality not great as it’s a copy of a long lost slide. @skate.flyer
