Blimey!!! Moose....there's a name from the past. I can vaguely remember the home made quarter pipe in his parents back garden when they lived in chatham ( i'm sure it was him, i could be wrong)

Moose broke his Jaw in the blue bowl and used to be good friends with Justin Denyer from Hoo. Justin is the guy that had the ramps from BMX beat down on his farm. I remember them being orange and Yellow (the ramps).

Yeah! they were like a tequilla sunrise effect. I went over there once with Pete (breakdancer, good at windmills) Matt, Mike watts, Jason Hoad must have been there (my memory's not all it used to be). I remember suffering popout itus on the quarter pipe

and just had to kick turn the hell out of the trick ramp. My nan still lives in Hoo and that farm was just past her house at the end of Stoke road ( i think). Memory overload
