Le Havre bowl 30 years latter (2008/10/19, Le havre, Normandy, France)

Luckily, sun was there!!! Beginning to find the lines and having fun!!! This place is special for me, as it was there that I learned half-pipe Rskating 30 years ago. At the same place was the first park ever of this city, with fiber glass quarters and half pipe, with no coping nor plateform....Plate stalls were tricky, as in place of the coping, the ramps were rounded, with a 20 cm radium, and we had queue for using them, up to about 20 riders waiting for few seconds runs, crazy 1979!!! In those time, there was a guard in charge of the park, filtering people, no pedestrians, nor moto... skateboards, roller skate only, BMX didn't exist yet, all tricks had to be invented!!!!
Now it's a smooth public concrete park, with bowl and street parts, max 2m deep, with plenty trajectories and transitions to discover and share with skateboard and BMX!!!! It's a pleasure to share this equipement new generations!!

It's one of the biggest outdoor crete park in France!!
