| wow. we went to harrow at the weekend. it was really fun. i had never
ridden concrete bowls before and i had no idea how much fun it is. they
are much smoother than ramps, more like dirt, only it really hurts when
you come off, which i did, twice. |
 |
| this is a little figure of eight bowl. it was the first thing i rode.
it was fun and easy, so i tried 180s on it and came off and hit my head.
i looked like a frog for the rest of the day. this is tim carving it
like a massive berm. fun and fast. |
  |
| my next stack was in the snake run. i was trying a hippy line, and
didn't account for the landing going directily into a concrete wall
which caused much pain. this is me trying to get out of the steep bit of
the bowl, and below, lying in leaves until the pain went away. on the
right is one of my lookback/turndown attempts. it looks odd. |
 |
| some of tims technical tricks. a manual gap between the snake run and
the vert, manual over hip and an early shot on the hip. |
 |
| haha, this is funny. its a kickout on the hip, but the timing isn't
great. becky took all of these pictures. she is getting good at
photography now. harrow isn't an easy place to shoot either. |
 |
| kickout and table attempts on the hip. this looked like it would be
rubbish to ride, but it was actually quite fun, and it made it really
easy to table on if you rode it the right way. it was very busy tho, and
the skateboarders would wait until noone was there before they would
ride it, so it took ages for everyone to take a go. i snaked some
people, but only when they didn't go when it was free. |
 |
| adam and seb had to go before we got the camera out. this is the only
picture we got of adam in the swimming pool. above is tim riding the
hippy thing. if you were good you could just ride round and round this
like joe alderson at churtsey. we weren't good enough. i could only do 2
hips and tim can only do 3. |
 |
| when tim was learning to ride quarter pipes he learnt the wrong way,
the result of which was that he learned this trick. now he can ride
quarters and can still do this, which looks cool. its harder than you
might think. the hip made it easy to table. this is the best table i
have ever done i think. it's still not quite flat, but it's getting
there.i could go all crazy antix and photoshop out the background and
stick in some big trails, but then someone might get confused. |
