Hi Robert,

Keith Tutt here. Think we went to LCP and Bishop Bell together (you are the next year up). Although I never had a BMX back then I always wanted one and vaguely remember you having a good 'un or two back in the 80s. I've got into old school in the last year (Raleigh Burners first), looking to move up to the next level (Kuwie or other Tange framed bike) but also about to buy my first new school race bike and get into a bit for fitness etc. I live in Southampton now but still in touch with Anthony Light (Slack) from home and some peeps from your year on facebook etc.

Welcome in!

EDIT: Just had a flashback, were we both at Eastbourne Swimming Club too?

Sounds great!

there are a few of us in Eastbourne be great to meet up and stun the teens

..sure we can still swing it! do remember ziggys was a great night club was the same for me..followed the girls..

The decals come from Dp Firebird.co.uk they sell them all and pads.

Most sundays a few of us go for a ride in the afternoon..we been working the bikes in a small skate park..before we hit the seafront!

Cheers All Rob
