Too slippy for us street boys! Ok on the concrete of The Rom skate park but no good on the flag stones and 30% angled transitions of the Festival Hall car park!!Ivor wrote:Kev wrote:I was a Bones man myself!SteveCase wrote: My old 70mm Radius Edge Kryptonic Reds gripped well. Perhaps they use them?

But skating didn't die off after you gave up
I got my 1st board in 89, by the mid 90's I was frequenting the Bristol skate locations like the Lloyds bank down by the docks. Skating didn't change a whole bunch in UK till the early 90's, we were still watching the old Z-Boys vids. I guess it was different in the US.

Didn't have a vid then My first board in '77 was a Surf Flyer, a plank of wood with basically half a roller skate on each end and rubber wheels, wore them totally down to the open race bearings....
