2006 was the first year to have a flyer, this is how it looked:
We also had this lovely flag back in 2006, it was tied up to the flagpost at the top of the deadcentre bump:

Not sure if 2005?4?3?2?1? counts as the first years of HACKNEY OLYMPICS or not, but this includes some footage from way back in circa 2002-2003 or something and that was the years when it all started I suppose:
And here's 243 SUPPORT's fullength video from 2003/2004 or something, it includes lots of Hackney Bumps footage (though the film is almost 1 hour long so go get a 6 pack of Stella A before pressing play)
Here's a bunch of skateboard photos from Hackney Bumps from various sessions:

Some people still claim that they can't find HACKNEY BUMPS. I find this remarkable. SOme people also claim that you will get killed when you go to HACKNEY BUMPS. That is not really true, though the kids that burnt the vespa and the bikes on the phots above DID have REAL guns, though they could not care less about the skateboarders...
ANYWAY here's the damn map, no more excuses

HACKNEY'S BURNING!

Skateistan
There are some Australians trying to to start a free skateboarding school in Kabul.
Looks like the kids love it.
True 243 spirit.
