Me back in the day - on a ramp I built in my garden. I'm on a Shogo Kubo Airbeam so probably around 1979/80.

1970's I skated mainly in London & Brighton. Membership to Rolling Thunder below - which was my all-time favourite skatepark.

I got to go to Skate City - London's first skatepark and I skated a lot at The South Bank and at The Barn and the Cage in Brighton. I was lucky enough to get over to the states and skate Marina Del Rey and Venice beach.

My Marina membership card - I look so young!

I stopped briefly in the early 80's but was back on board in the mid to late 80's. Again mainly in London and Brighton - lots of street skating on Brighton seafront, occasionally at The Level.

South Bank and Meanwhile in London and a mini ramp in Ravenscourt Park, Hammersmith.

I spent two months in Australia skating in Melbourne and Sydney and also got to skate in Paris and Madrid. Still the best way to meet a new city is to set out and just skate and see where you end up.

The sea wall in Brighton - steeper than it looks!
