Cool stuff Mr Stupple

Spent a long time chatting to Chris Young's dad yesterday at Hayes - nice bloke and haven't seen him in over 20 years

Yeah he was a top bloke, if it wasn`t for Dave Young and his early quarter pipes freestyle would have taken alot longer to takeoff in this county, did he mention how Chris is nowdays.

He just said he was keeping busy

We spent most of the time talking about how rad the new tracks are and how hard it was to get funding from councils bitd

Craig Schofield also turned up too, but didn't ride as he was still suffering from his crash last year at Bournemouth

"Nothing Really" Says Billy "Though sometimes i wonder if i'm going to get down, cos there's always the risk i might hook up the back wheel on the edge of the ramp"

FFS MIGHT hook up the back wheel

Seriously though, and i dont mind admitting it Bill was my hero BITD and 22 years later i get to ride with him

Is that Dave Spurdens BMX Book by the way?? I think i remember it

yeah. This deserves some good credit. Not many people in those early days were getting that much height. Its a lot easier to get 6 ft out of a bowl once you've seen someone else demonstrate it's possible.
