Seen it listed in one of me old mags......do you think its the same one?

Not placed very high........ think around the 20s i would need to find it again but i do remember him making comments about his bmx on the evel knievel show he did for top gear.

Just a mad thought probably thousands with that name.

Well the guy off Top gear is about 42 or 43 and from tound the Birmingham area I think

Were the Freestyle finals held round that area ?

Also the mafhs will narrow it down if it mentions his age group

In 86 he would've been 15 or 16

edit

December 19th 1969 in Solihull

16 years old in mid 1986

He never had a bmx or a skateboard must be the only kid in the 80s not to have one or the other

His age fits exact as i think it was the under 17 class.

Why was he going on about jumping ramps on his bike in the kneveil vt then ? maybe it was on a raleigh budgie the foooking munchkin

FFS never owned a bmx ,skateboard or even a fooooking cb radio in the 80s..............was he living on the moon............dont beleive that

I will look this out and scan it

if you think about it what if he was dressed in gt gear all neon pinks and greens and got into the whole dancing section for his run.........mmmmm he would,nt want Jeremy seeing that would he............look at that picture they dug out of James may all brown leather clad in the 70s ............makes yeah think lmao
