When We Was Rad:
Skateboard History from UK Vintage Magazine

Livingston, Banks, Hips, Bowl and Doubles


Davie Philip, Andy Nicoll, Sean Goff and Rocker at Livingston Skatepark, 1988Blue sky picture feast from the finest bit of British concrete at the time. I don’t know which makes me smile more at this distance: Davie Philip’s style or the pure-fun aspects of the other two pictures.

It also suddenly strikes me that it’s been a very long time since I’ve been to Livingston and I miss it. Livi was a hugely important place for me in the eighties, alongside Crystal Palace and Harrow: it shaped my notion of skateboarding.
