Birmingham Wheels was a great place to go and ride on the weekends, you were guaranteed a good time everytime,they had a mini spine ramp, which was real good,it was always a blast to learn how to ride it. There was also a big vert ramp there for the Bmxers/skateboarders who could deal with it, seen alot of great riding and skateboarding there over the years,also there was a street course with plenty of ramps of all sizes there to ride. It was the street course and the mini spine ramp that we spent alot of time riding/learning whenever we was there. The big vert ramp was just used to mess about on except for anyone who would take it serious enough to ride it proper, there was a one or two of Bearwood's riders that would be the ones who wanted to learn and master the vert, and i think they did.
The ride from Bearwood to Birmingham wheels would take us right through the city centre which meant that we'd stop off at Aston bank's which was on the way, Aston Banks were something else, a real treat for anyone that was lucky enough to session them. They was in a issue of an old Bmx mag from back in the day, i think it was called BMX Action? not sure still, it had Birminghams finest Rob Sanderson in the mag doing a fast plant off the Aston Banks. Respect To Rob. The banks at Aston were just smooth all varying in steepness and style.
Til Next Time Much Peace And Blessings.
