I’ve been holding on to these truly amazing vintage photographs that Simon Tiller kindly sent in as we went through a pretty heavy skateboard period and thought we should chill back a little. Loving the roller hockey team photos too. The 1978 trophies photo is a epic and they were British Champions in 1973 too. Belated congratulations to you all.
This is just a small picking from the Southsea Skatepark website www.southseaskatepark.com. Check them out and if you see anyone you recognise or want to bring something to our attention then remember to add your comments at the bottom of this post.
Special props to the final photo and all the Southsea boys representing ‘back in the day’. Some young looking faces there. Rippers.

These photos are unbelievable! Such a great documentation! the dudes with the hawk board in the peanut bowl and the airwalk on the vert are so unbelievably cool! They should put these up in the park entrance
