Ok, this is a thread about good riders you knew of, but not famous as such.

People i can remember:-

From Northampton area Chris Crossley (spelling may be wrong on surname) Paul (Harorider on here) wasn't bad either.

Wales (Pontypridd area - nicknames only) Soliman and Gook ( AKA tilkey)

When i lived in Gretna Scotland for year Michael Skelton (also known as Boney)

The top guy in my Village was a guy called Carl Eccles, my Bro teaches his kids and at parents evening he asked Our Kid how I was and said he rode with me BITD, he nearly come in his pants when Our Kid showed him pics of my bikes.

David Haynes although he ended up being the test rider for BMX Action Bike after I introduced him to TLB and loaned Haynesy my helmet so TLB would take pics of him jumping after the National at Hayes in 82 so not sure if he counts, Boyd Walker was pretty good freestyling wise, Paul Cannon was dead fast on the track, David Landy, Lee Shurey and there was a guy in Yiewsley call Davidson (I think, can't remember his first name

) who was really good at freestyle.

A lot of the really good riders I rode with BITD ended up on factory rides (like Woody, Paul Roberts, Karl Fuller, Lee Alexander, Jon Povah to name a few).

I met a guy in Norwich riding a halfpipe in my mate Tim's back garden in Norwich... fooked if I can remember his nick name but he'd smashed his teeth out and was a boxer as well apparently ... he was RAD

think his nickname began with an S... sure he was in a mag once...

And 'Chilly' on his home territory of Wickstead Park

Shut down and owned.

round our way rob sanderson was a great rider - remember setting up jumps in the woods where we would pile up stuff to jump over
remember him having loads of 'frankenstein' bikes he would put together and destroy regularly

think he may have been in some mags too

he was pretty rad on a skateboard too - dunno what he's up to now but last time I saw him he was running Ideal skate shop on corporation street in brum (early/mid 90s)
