Context, we loved to show the context… John Thurston, manager of Southsea Skatepark and a key player at the time, can be seen at the right.

Yes, I’m probably who you think I am. But I’m afraid the reason I’m doing this site is so that I can go some way towards helping people who are looking for those old magazines and pictures.
