Romford skatepark followed by Leigh-on-Sea. early 90's

this was a road trip from Dorset to the east coast and back the same day

@Rich Sid
We did that exact same day trip. We were from Bracknell. We had a decent vert ramp at the time but Rom and Leigh on Sea had so much variety.
I also had long hair and pushed Mongo both of which I am pleased to say are things of the past lol

I used to skate there in 1978 when they were building it - we used to go there when the builder's had gone home in the evenings! Happy daze ..

That old spine was SLIPPY.
(The old vert, the other side o’ the park was slippy too… metal beasts.
I preferred the Moguls at ROM and Harrow, great flow once you get lines down)

I used to ride bmx at both Rom and Leigh at the same time as this, I rode early 90’s until about 2001. Great memories from this vid

[@christtototottottott]

Great video. Almost how I remember it. Think I used to frequent the park around 1994-1997ish. I'm guessing this is a little earlier as there's a few ramps missing that I remember. I've seen up to date videos and the place is almost unrecognisable to how I remember it these days! The last 2 minutes isn't ROM unless that's a section they removed?

[@teddyvillevidz7648]

Is it still there.

[@spiderman01980]

By what I can remember at the end of the video is south Sea.

[@Rich.enDorseit]

We used to go to South Sea quite a bit but the end of the vid is Leigh-on-Sea

[@spiderman01980]

Yes you're right.

[@leehorspool9744]

is that Mon Barbor on skates ? or Andy Peerless ?

[@Rich.enDorseit]

Neither, it's John from the m&m skate shop (at that time)

[@leehorspool9744]

@@Rich.enDorseit did you visit Jelly mumbos when you went to Leigh on sea ?

[@Rich.enDorseit]

@@leehorspool9744 nope, that's all we fitted into the day trip

@@Rich.enDorseit thanks for the video, I have some awesome Rom memories. Used to jump the train from Peterborough.
