100% agreed,

I will make this an admin decision, Jono is not allowed to enter his bike in ANY radbmx S&S comps (BOTM, BOTY, MK S&S etc etc), unless he recreates that Stu Thomsen photo, complete with grumpy face.

Any attempt to enter a comp without the picture being put up at some stage will mean that his entry is deleted by me

Sorry Jono mate, you are doing the ultimate replica bike, so you have to replicate it the whole way

Ha, ace.

I'll do you the shot Jono, I even have the shitty brown backdrop required!

Do you take your bike parts down the Pub Jono...
