Darren. I am sure his name was Dave Arnold? lived in Ashton in makerfield he had a ramp in his back garden, he also did skateboarding and was into lake jumping also went with him a few times but didn't have the nerve to do it!! think it was Jumbles country park people ding bouble back flips into water etc!

@8.24 mins on the first you tube clip,there's a lad wearing a Jail Cell Recipes sweatshirt. That was Dave Arnolds band,signed to Alans Records. Small world

The guy in the t-shirt was Dave Arnold as far as I can remember it was a jump they built in Ashton in makersfield . I was lucky I didn't hurt myself on that fall.

I know them lot Lenster

Right I am off to get Owens on this thread too

I rode a lot on my Auties estate to behind the Ben Johnson at Marus Bridge with Dylan, Lee and a few lads on there we used to go the three sisters over the backs, tell you what though that King Kong used to scare me as a lad and those whoops bit hard when you Cased them .... I've still got the dents in my shins to prove that.

The first Race I did there was on my Pro Star with Yellow Skyways off a mates Tuff burner, weighted a ton but I won both Moto's don't think I took a breath all the way round ..... Saw stars passing over the finishing line.

Last parts required

1. Crank
2. Brake cables to suit a Giro in blue or white or green.

Tats it after this I think lads.

If I do say so myself I am blown away with you all in this thread, Once were powdered and building we Promise this is going to get even better when you see the plans we have with this one.

If your at all Nostalgic your gonna like this

Above is a reply from Dave Arnold on Facebook. Were was the pub? It looks like the poacher in Winstanley?

I remember the tips near Pemberton train station very well and watching Dylan Claton jump over a massive gap there.

BADDH · « **Reply #94 on:** December 18, 2012, 06:50 AM »

Yes Paul it was the Poacher, right next to Winky woods that's still there today with loads of jumps, the kids call one the Coffin, I thought it was a smallish lump on the ground.

TimBB · « **Reply #96 on:** December 18, 2012, 08:15 AM »

OK so going off topic again, However i cannot let the pictures posted by BADBALDIE pass without comment.
Some VERY fond and life changing memories from those pictures, "the yo yo", the big hill, rode down there a number of times, however on the first attempt i blacked out and arrived black, blue and winded at the bottom.
There was a half pipe well sort of which was really hard to get out of, in the middle of the tips. Along with other random jumps.

Along the side of the railway line there was a small set of jumps and ramdom peices of plywood,of which we made a reasonable jump, of which i manged to get fully flat out with a table top and get stung by a wasp in mid flight which resulted in me ditching in mid air and arriving on the floor back, blue bruised and winded and at the far end of the tips there was an indoor track, Ahhh so many memories.

Steve pank, Si Brown, infact all of the names menitoned i have fallen off with all of them.

Thanks again,
TimBB

Pony Dick small bit of slag heap, Jays wood. behind Jason Browns house up in Winstanley were the older lads made a track were you jumped over the tarmac path leading into the woods, the Slipper works just of Tunstal lane , were the big wooden gates fell of their hinges and were made into a hugh jump. Triangle Valve loads of jumps.drop offs and made around there.

Lenny,the bald guy in the photo is Craig Burrows (Torker). Dave was at RadTor,he had a backpack on and wears glasses.

Ha ha Triangle valve, i bet the people in Bandag tyres or was it Rathbones, were upset that they designed the entrance where the drop in and jump out ran straight accross their reception. The BIG jusmo and having to get into the slipper works through the window!!! must have been mad,
