Just seen this post and very gratefull to Darren, Joff and everybody who is helping out!! although I think Darren still has his rose tinted glasses on from the 80's! I wasn't that good. I was a bit bigger and older that Darren BITD and I did have a habbit of telleing the local press I was a BMX expert with a £1100 bike for a laugh and got myself in the local paper a few times plus turning up with a bike imported from America with gold plated parts you didn't have to do much riding the chinese whispers helped to exagerate the stuff I did. Some of the things people said I could do and did were very amusing. You will all be asking for you parts back. It's been great getting back in touch with people from the 80's again aslo done the same with roller skating.I rode from age 12 to 30.

Hey paul..

You cant back out now, I won't accept anything less than a you tube clip
of you doing a 360 back flip with a tail whip thrown in ..

[BADDH]

HiPaul, 

Modest as ever,   

Everyone that rode BMX BITD knew Barlow for his freestyle riding, these are amongst a few names I have etched in my memory with BMX,  one is the wigan rocket Dylan Clayton and the other is you 

Incidentally that's me in the picture holding my Pro Star and possibly Chrissy's Raleigh Aero Pro for you to bunny hop over ... Unless my eyes are tricking me your about 30"-36" off the floor there mr Modest

I worked for HJ Heinz in the late 80s and early 90s and spent a lot of time at the Kitt Green factory. Used to stay at a place near Standish called the Kilhey Court Hotel.  Spent a lot of time in the pubs and clubs in the town centre enjoying myself!
