Description
In October 1978 I heard about a pool centre in Pymble that had closed down and had some empty pools to Skate. After I went there with a school friend, we discovered around 4 Pools at this place, but only 2 looked skateable The larger pool was full of water, with the smaller one having about 2 feet of water in it. So we started bailing the water out of the smaller one, and about 2 hours later when we had finished, the Skateboard World Team showed up. So we watched David "Victor" Mock , Errol and others rule the place. We were blown away and too embarrassed to skate. A couple of weeks later the bigger lower pool was pumped out by the guys from OZI Skate (Lyndsay, Bob, Matt and Tim Dawe from Cortech). So this was the place to skate an 8 foot 6" bowl with 3 feet of true vert. This was real skateboarding! Grinds, carves and aerials. This is where Aussie Vert started. Brad Shaw
