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

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 :)

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?

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.

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

lol my first 1200 ute is there too... i used to live right near Mt Taylor and remember whatching the flames come over the top and down it during the bushfires... i used to get up early and hit the Tuggers skate park on the way to work on my BMX... i also remember nearly dying on my mates skateboard rolling down the massive hill from Torrens to Waniassa.

the bushfires also wrecked my dirt jumps.

Ainslie drains was the place...even featured in one of the early Powell vids (Animal Chin maybe?).
We used to skate the spillway that ran adjacent to the Tuggeranong Parkway at the foot of Mt. Taylor, also further along Mt. Taylor was the "Insano" HUUUGE stormwater pipe that ran all the way down under Wanniassa. :)

Yeh im hanging to visit again, too old to skate or go ferriting underground now but some good mates still there (and my old 1200 ute!)

lol it could be its been 5 or 6 years since i left canberra... had some awesome times in canberra i will have to visit again one day.

is that spence drains or some other ones? had some mad sesh's at spence drains, pretty scrubbo but haha
