Right , this has been bugging me for a while now . It's time to find it !

I was once on the centre page of a BMX weekly / bi weekly in full colour on my Robinson .
I was riding the whoops with Gary Llewelyn jumping them in front of me .
It was about 82-83 ... I know it's vague but I need to find the photo ...

Where's the best place to look ?? I know someone has scans of these old mags somewhere

Help me find it

my race number at the time was 2360 ..

Carl

This it Carl?

If so you can have my copy. It's my original mag from BITD but it probably means more to you than me.

If it's the one come and find me at MK and it's yours.

In2bmx · « **Reply #21 on:** August 10, 2014, 03:35 PM »

Great find Steve

and thanks

I'll have it framed ....

31 years ago ffs

probably my last year racing

.. I wish i'd carried on , I was just getting really good ..

The GHP jersey had HILL 1 on the back . I got it at the Kellogg's race at 3 sisters , Wigan ...
Wish I still had it

. Don't know where it went

Bike was a Robinson pro RSR , few parts I remember
Robb bars
Flights
DX pedals
Uni hammerhead
Araya 7x
Suzue hubs
Tuf neck stem
MX 1000's
Hutch seat clamp

Needs building me thinks ...

No worries mate. To be honest I didn't hold any hope when I saw your post but I thought I'd check anyway.

Fourth mag in and up it popped...at first I thought the number was 2366 in the photo and I was just about to dismiss it.

Anyway you have me Grandma to thank as she used to buy me a BMX magazine every week so she'd have bought this one......and come to think of it me mam aswell for keeping hold of the mags for near on 30 years.

I'll bring it to MK pal.

Steve.
