Paul Ruinaard Posted July 10, 2019 Share Radio 5 used to have a cool jingle to that tuneBrings back memories of skateboarding at solid surf skatepark in honeydew back in the 1970’s, they used to play the radio 5 over the PA systemwow you took me back there. Often drive past that place and wonder where it was. Was a skate lighty in those days. That and Cresta parking lot which was down the road from my house. Used to build old bicycles and ride them on the tracks around Darrenwood dam - this was 1976 prior to BMX becoming a big thing. No brakes, fixed gears etc. Broke many rims. then got in to motorbikes. But in between played on skateboards. Snowy Smith M1 wheels, Alfa decks etc - all local. SwissVan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They made a wave pool out of the one bowl at SS which was great to cool off in, we used to be allowed to camp there over weekends because we came from so far. We used to use snowy Smith trucks, home made decks (10” wide) with super shadow wheels cut and grinded down to the shape of the expensive American wheels (kryptonics) Edited July 10, 2019 by SwissVan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shebeen Posted July 10, 2019 Share Alex Jay sort of disappeared, where is he now (if on air at all)?The last i really remember of him he was a part owner of a club in greenpoint (and then branch 2 in stellenbosch) called Fat Boys. Late 90s and it didn't last long, we thought we could take credit for draining them on their Pig Nite (R30 all you can drink) but i don't think the input costs on the stuff they served were that high. gemmerbal and Ed-Zulu 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My grand parents flew over from the old country for the holiday. Lots of bumper cars an olaying tic tax toe on the beach. Thanks Aamoi my grandparents when they lived in Congo used to drive to Durban for holidays. 5 kids in back seat an used to sit at the XL roadhouse on arrival. A tradition I maintained until they closed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gemmerbal Posted July 10, 2019 Share I remember him hosting halloween party in Stellenbosch in the Neelsie, night before a cricket match. I walked into my moms house as the sun came up. Opened the bowling, one over was my contribution that day. [emoji23] Edited July 10, 2019 by gemmerbal Skubarra 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
