That felt like it could have been a Steven Hamilton section.
I'd love to get to ride a proper full pipe again. This is the only one I've ever had the opportunity to ride.
It was inside a working cement factory. We used to get away with amazing sessions on the flatbanks there but this required a bit more stealth. The full pipe was about 6m off the ground and in order to get up there we had to climb up onto a roof using an oil barrel then climb onto another roof before throwing the bikes into the pipe and climbing in. Being in a cement factory it was dusty and noisy, I remember looking down the 100m or so long pipe and seeing workers at the other end, fortunately we weren't spotted and managed to get a decent ride in. But that was a long time ago (2005) and I've learnt a few things since then.
