Underground Project Part 8

It's been a while since I've delved into the Underground footge, but after this there is only about 5 mins of footage left before I starting working out the DVD for it, which is something I've probably wanted to do for the last 10 years but always put off doing.
It's been raining almost non-stop today and we haven't left the apartment, which was an added incentive to finish this off.

This time the guest opening skater is Kerry Sharpe, who used to skate Aldershot with everyone around 1990/91. We had a ramp built on some wasteground out of whatever wood we could find, which was mainly chipboard, but it didn't matter to us. We just made our own scene from there and a couple of years later we cleaned out and built inside a warehouse there for aout 18 months, which was the Warehouse Years, and through all that we skated the Underground carpark as the central meeting point for all the skaters from the surrounding areas. 6pm to 7pm most weeknights someone would be skating there.
The "kicker line" at the carpark was made when someone ripped the handrail out of the ground to create the new line there. Sometimes I think we spent so much time there that we felt like we owned the place!
