Skateboarding

Great book, seeing those pics of South Bank brings back loads of memories... I never skated there, was way too young but me and my mates played street hockey on the long central concourse bit... Our mate from school, Stephen Fitzgerald, was the very last skater at South Bank in those days ('81-'82-ish)... It was all BMX and knobs on roller skates in leather jackets like us jumping off things... I remember thinking how sad Steve seemed, didn't take long for it all to come back tho'...

I can still remember the first time I jumped the stairs that go down into that bit in the picture, terrifying but exhilarating... #csb
