gypsy bar yeah thats it.. what bands were you in stinky?

The Pheremones, Adrenalin, Fist-Action, Grinder, Breathe, Susco. I also used to play the covers circuit with Special K.

I had a blue Datto 1200 wagon which was probably the ultimate vehicle for carting gear, I just bought another one specifically for carting.

yeah thats awesome.. i wanted one or a 1000 van to cart my bmx around in

Lol Adrenalin were awesome! I lived in Havelock House for a while with members of Pod People and remember them playing there at one of the partys in defiance of the cops who were trying to shut it down... ah good times :)

Oh yeah I used to hang at Havelock a fair bit. We probably know each other? They used to call me "spit".

yeah they've built a new park in civic, it's pretty crazy. canberra is sort of boring if you have no friends or a life. to me though i spend almost all my spare time workin on cars and then when i wanna drive them the roads are great and there's no traffic :)

Sounds familiar Stinky, but can't be sure. those guys were a bit older than me, still see a couple of them around from time to time.
Its funny when you have mates that still live in the same suburb they grew up in and they get really down about it, but besides the fact I know I can visit them anytime and always pick up where we left off...moving all over the place is overrated, especially when you finally set up a nice shed/workshop only to know you will have to pack it all up again soon.

Sounds great Wolki, traffic in Melbourne is so crap and aggro I give up driving altogether here on a weekly basis.

There are so many good places to go in Canberra if you're bored, cant think of how much trouble i stayed out of just skating and exploring around the citys buildings and the lakes/parks/rivers/drains. It always outweighed the trouble I got into at least ;)

yeah so many awesome places to ride especially BMX and MTB the ground doesnt have to be as smooth as for skating. i used to ride round all day with a bunch of mates and just do stair gaps and bunny hop off stupid stuff and find the slightest bit of a lip to bust air off it was my golden years and reading this is kinda making me sad lol

yeah the roads are bloody awesome in canberra especially if you have spent any time driving around the mid north coast of NSW especially taree so so bad.

lol all this reminiscing and im getting tempted to buy a bike again lol

Just think of the cold, it's what did me in the end. I'll be down there next weekend, looking forward to catching up but not the cold.

hahaha yeah the cold killed me.
