80s 90s and later pictures of jon taylor

[oliew]

Hi there,
i thout i would post a quick 'help needed 'after a few people said this is the place that i would hopefully find what im after.

Im in desperate need of any jon taylor scans or photographs and videos from 80s 90s and later if possible, most of the stuff on the net and youtube is low quality as the pictures will be used in a documentary video in hd, so some half decent resolution is needed. I have a couple of ride magazines but only a few usable pictures in them.

It would be awesome if any of you know or have any pictures of jon that would finish this video off really well.

please PM me

thanks in advance.

I have a copy of Invert magazine with a jon taylor interview in it. He had just left GT and was riding a supergoose. 
There is also a later ride magazine that had a big piece on jon contemplating trying to ride the manchester fullpipe , thats a good read as well.
John is a really nice guy as well .
I may have some footage of  john at darwen skatepark I will have to have a look

Hi
Thanks both of you, those sound like just what i need! the bit about leaving GT is awesome too - as that has come up in the interview
yeh any video stuff thats decent quality would be great too!! seems to be a lack of anything good quality on the net.

many thanks
Oli

[oliew]

I used to chat and ride with Jon in the early nineties at rehab a bit, he was always dead friendly and a good rider - think I have a few snaps and some vid footage of him somewhere. Don't know if I will find them or if they will be of any use to you, but I'll see if I can for you.

cheers scott, appreciated mate

have you tryed emailing seventies? hes down there more often than not, they may be able to put you in direct touch with him

[oliew]

Yeah i went down to seventies few weeks ago to film, jons really busy at the mo so its hard not to feel like a pest!
the problem is I have a deadline for the film so normally i would just wait for photos and things but im going to have to start getting things together this week.
