Not famous riders, but who do you remember as being good BITD

Its a small world fugazi33, are you a lynn boy? can you remember Kevin Rye, Andrew Gathercole, Carl Reed, Calvin Mallett, Jon Curtis (me)  ?

I recognise Your name! Whereabouts did/do You live? I know the rest & did a few demo's with Kev & Uug in the latter days of the trick team    Yeah I used to live in KL, I'm Shane who rode with Jay, or Bill as We called Him then!

We were all from Clenchwarton, (me Kev, uug, Calvin and Carl) and we formed the original King's Lynn freestyle team in about 83 and did demos  unfortunately it got to a stage when the audience were better than us  , the team disbanded and Kev and ugg carried on around late 84 I think, Jay and Pat were about then and the Lynn track had been built at the back of the YMCA, I was the youngest member of the team and couldn't pull the big tricks    so I bailed, I can't put a face to your name Shane  but here's a flash back pic for you 



From the left Uug, Calvin, me, Carl and Kev  hahahahahahaha

I know who You are now!!! We have met but a very long time ago now  I can't believe how young everybody looks ha!
The team, in One form or another staggered on until the latter part of the 80's, with Pat, Jay & then Me taking over for Kev & Uug as They rode less & less  Kev used to come ride flat with Us under Sainsbury's carpark now & then but I think Uug gave up when He broke His leg bad playing Rugby I think, They were both real good in Their time   
You mentioned the track, can You remember the Quarter pipes & kickturn ramps behind the YMCA? I spilled a lot of blood there over the years between the ramps & the track!

Yep I remember the ramps at the back of the YMCA and using sainsburys car park for a bit of flat land  Kev was my next door neighbour and I've been trying to get in contact with him lately,  have you moved away from the area now? Calvin works for me and I bumped in to Pat last year and Jay's still about, his lad is Rad too apparently 

[fugazi]

I ended up with Kev's Rickman Freestyler frame when He retired as I'd broke My Haro  I don't know the whereabouts of any of the KL crew apart from Jay & Pat as I moved about a lot in the 90's & moved from the area around 2001, Yeah Josh, Jay's Boy is really good

BITD in Birkenhead, I remember Kavo who had a PK Ripper (instant fame) and was clearly the best rider for miles around. I think his name was Carl Kavanah (hence Kavo...if your name was bob they'd find a way to shorten it...probably to B!). he went to Birkenhead Institute High School and I seem to remember him being a nice guy. This would be around 1983/4?
