Finally I had a chance to get at the bowl at Five Dock without any pesky kids or anyone else. All I had to do was take a day off work and get there at about 9 in the morning.
The bowl is about 6 foot at its 'shallow' end. It is actually a series of three bowls - people that can skate say it is one of the best, if not the best, in Sydney.
Up to now I haven't had the guts to try this drop in - partly because I go to this park on Sunday mornings when the old boys come out and most of them are really good. I suppose you would be really good if you skated since the 80s.
Anyway, I finally dropped in - a bit sketchy but made it. I did it lots of times - couldn't quite get my front foot slamming down, but good enough to make it.
Since then I have been back to the mini-ramp at Glebe - the ramp I firt almost knocked myself out on - and I can now drop in no problems. At last.
