By a strange coincidence I will be in Dundee at the end of the week.

Who knows? I might even end up at DCA, treading on sacred skateboard ground.

So I guess this was after the competition mentioned in the article above - that was when the ramps were up the top, eh?The video also shows how everchanging the Factory was, with wee ramps, flyoffs and grindrails being built adhoc hehe.Enjoy Thought i’d post up a related video …..

That's why I far prefer online media to the printed stuff. These magazines have sat in unopened boxes here for a long time now and I'm looking at this material for the first time in many, many years. I often find myself no longer able to work out what we were on about, or confusing different stories about the same place. Corrections are very welcome.

This is actually incorrect, the DCA Factory was the 2nd Factory which happened 2 or 3 years on from the time of this comp. The comp in the article took place in the first Factory up on Arthurstone Terrace / Erskine Street in the Stobswell area of town. It was the first of two comps that took place in the first Factory.I hope you don't mind me correcting there!Keep up the good work!Cheers,Rick Hi Tim,
