should check out tuggers skate park now, the thing is crazy, been completely rebuilt, it's sikk.

i want to see... i ate it bad there one day. is the little park still at civic or have the junkies taken over? i remember riding with a bunch of MTB boys round civic they do all that hopping on the back wheel stuff and i launched off the hip at the civic park went pretty big and the front wheel washed out on landing... i was very embaressed.

come to think of it i ate it pretty much everywhere i rode... one dude broke his elbow at the kambah bowl lol is that still there?

yeh that halfpipe at the adventure playground with 6 odd foot of vert????
that was brutal...fat kids got stuck in there all the time, theyd go in and couldnt climb out again :)

the city carpark one was bulldozzed years ago...not sure if they built another one...but for its size it was such a well designed park...plus thered always be good metal bands playing and free krishna food at the youth centre back in the day :)

Yeah I come from Canberra, used to love bashing the firetrails in my 1200 wagon or on the treadly. Place is too bloody cold though.

I moved to Canberra in 2002 and agree is f#%$ cold. I moved from Armidale though so not too much difference really.

Love gettin onto the rally track and havin a fang when theres no events on. So much freakin fun!!!!

yeah i miss the metal bands my mates used to play in a few... maybe you recocnise these guys Rowen Sims and Simon (moo) Harper? yes im name dropping now lol nah used to be really good mates but have lost touch with them years ago... keep searching facebook and stuff for them but no luck... geez im struggling to remember places and names from my canberra years.

Yeh Im the same mate, not sure, most of the time im afraid of what Ill remember from my teenage years there ;) Terrace Bar and the Asylum will always be remembered fondly though...

The pine forests were awesome, I learnt to drive in them back in the day you got your full licence at 16, taking and doing things to a Suzuki Alto to where no Suzuki Altos have gone or done before(maybe this is where my love for small cars came from)
We spent a lot of time in them getting up to all kinds of mischief, still never found those witches covens and satanic cults that were rumoured to hang out in them :)

lol had so many good times in the southside woden/tuggers area... some good times northside but spent more time down south.

i remember the rock ape, ANU bar (monster magnet, forte, and a few of my mates bands), this downstairs place in civic right near the interchange where i went a saw Henrys Anger a couple times and Mick Hart... so many bands and so much wild turkey lol

alot of people i know say canberra is a boring place but when you get into the music,car, bmx scenes its an awesome place.

except for the cold.

I used to play in all those venues: Terrace, Terminus, Asylum, ANU, Gypsy bar. All of it was gone by the time I left there about eight years ago, now there really is nothing.
