I used to ride a lot bitd with a guy from Hillingdon called John Povah (I think thats how you spell his surname), he was pretty awesome on a qtr pipe and halfpipe, does anyone remember him or know what he's doing these days?

Spelling corrected, thanks Twobobrob

John Povah maybe?

If its him he went fairly big time in the States. Pretty sure he's a brit ex-pat over there

Cheers, it's been over 20 years since I had to spell his name!!!!

I remember he went to the states but didn't know he stayed there!

I flogged him all my old Haro jersey, pants, gloves, peak when I stopped riding....sounds like he made good use of it

Yep - I rode with John in the early days too.

He's now the head man for Etnies over in the states...there was a big interview with him in the july 05 issue of Ride Mag...I'll have a dig through and see if I've still got it...
