hey mark,how did nick go with the step up today?,and how did YOU go?
Someone here's bursting to ride with Nick... have to get 'em together @ the track
How's the new bike?
That is a roll in section. The old GT bars just fit through there. The other end where the photo is taken is open a lot wider. I had the best fun in that old thing. I had a heap of mates riding in there with me. LOTS of fun. 
Ya just can't beat "the good ol days" can ya hehehehehehe
Also R.I.P Parkdale
crossriderozzy: yeah boyo did real good... as can be expected with about a dozen youngun's riding the track in the wrong direction like a pack of swooping magpies - lol... it sort of threw is concentration off a bit. good time had by all however! I gotta go and by a new helmet also.
tell us about Shep???? I really wanted to get up there but it just couldn't happen.

Ringwood Bowl - R.I.P
[ October 17, 2005, 06:55 AM: Message edited by: velocidad ]
I've heard about those stories. Whats the story there? Cant have been that bad, can it?
Ringwood was just a bit far for me back then- I only went there once or twice - dirt riding was way more my fancy. Maybe others know some stories. it was VERY friggin deep tho. it was right beside the split in the railway line to belgrave. Did any old pancakes have pics of it??
1) Ringwood killed 1 dude (i dont know of any more than 1).
2) Whilst being fenced off (attempted closing by council) some dude rolled a small jeep (suzuki?) upside down in the bowl.
That was the final straw, so the council filled the bowl.
3) if we get enough dudes from the Nov.5th show to grab shovels, we can dig ringwood up again and RIDE !!!!!
Ride Hard !

hey nugget, did you race bitd?
never raced, was going to, just enjoyed getting air out of all those bowls.
Hey Marty I think the Knox bowl is closer to 7 feet deep. should all meet up there early on the 5th for an oldschool expression session
thats if anybody can still ride?
thats if anybody can still ride?
hehehehe more like another place to drink beer ;-)
or meet VERY early so no kids can laugh at us all ;-)

I can still ride. Nothin like I used too but I'm gettin there. I think early is good. I dont like being laughed at!
hey any of you melbourne guys ride the parkdale bowl?... wish I still had pics of that. I had a supergoose with graphites and we would get serious air out of that hole. Totally buggered my ankle dropping back in once but man it was fun
we would ride the 20 or so km's from the Doveton bowl to Parkdale bowl every 34 weeks. the trick was to clear the pine posts. still looking for photo's
yeah, I used to ride there from oakleigh but it was always a fun time (if it wasn't full of water cause the drain had blocked). How deep do you reckon that bowl was? 12 foot? I can remember hitting those pine posts flying out. I don't know how many bones were broken in that bowl... I'd love to see pics if you've got em.
Boys, i have quite a few pics of dudes at parkdale 1981-83 era, but maybe 4 or 5pics of ringwood bowl.
Both lots of pics dont show too much of the overall bowl/entry, but you kinda get an idea...
I never went to parkdale, but some locals still say ringwood was 3-4 feet deeper and wider than parkdale....
2 rad bowls either way you look at it ;-)

hey Coastvl what magazine did your pic's appear in.
hey Coastvl what magazine did your pic's appear in.
Never busted one bone riding bikes anywhere. I had plenty of stacks coming down from 5 foot above fivedock bowl.
Pics are from Pancake #12. The other guy is Mattblacks brother, Dean.

Hey Prosight,
Unbelievable. I was looking for those pedals for over a year. I happened upon a NOS stash myself luckily. However, I did see a set go for over USD $260 on US eBay last year. Something to think about . . .
