Foofie slide structure!

[Michael Alexander]

In the 70's there was that black headgear structure you climbed at the xmas tree, before the new school was built, then you climbed into those red cars and shot down.... Now this is a big faint memory I have, but if anyone out there has a photo of this structure, please email me! PLssssss!

Mike,

Not so much a picture of the structure, but some close ups can be seen in the Dec-1978 Newsletter.

I remember them putting Graphite powder on that sucker to make it faster, lotsa fun, lotsa mess !! :)

Hi. You should ask my dad. georgrufswa. I'm sure he has a couple of pics. I remember it being built. What a sensation in the 70s. Maybe 74?

         @ George jnr.  - 

Ditto for the welcome from your dad.

Hi Daline.
Do I know you? At least I can't remember your name.

Not really.  We lived in Oranjemund from '73 and I left at end '82 after finishing matric.  I know your surname and I know about your dad (him and me have been chatting on LiveVideo also - he got me 'hooked' there with his amazing video's and photos).  My dad was Big Dirk, a policeman. 

But, being me  ..........  I chat up a storm with everybody, so........

Hi everybody. I agree with Barbara. The only foofie slide I remember from the 70's, was the one in the desert.

Hi Patrick
We used to have some fun out there. If I remember correctly I went there with Ronnie Young, Carrots Wilson and the gang. I am sure Marie Quinton and Jeff, Michael Gillespie were to name but a few who used to use it.

I think the fufieslide behind the quaries was taken down because some kids got hurt. It was quite high. I remember going out there with some pals in the morning. Bare-foot. Two hours later we were runnung because sand was gertting hot in the sun. lol
