One of my all time favourite pictures Paul! Love that Ultra Burner
ball bag injury stories are always worth a read didn't Jono tear his open with a Kashi Aero on one of the rides?
Excellent Brett, thanks for posting. Is that RAD's very own Retrodan on that first black & white photo?
Not sure if this is book material but...Before our local track was built we made a makeshift track in the yard of an old derelict bus depot... concrete slab with a few dirt jumps and all that jazz. Anyway a kid who lived round the corner from me was riding his sisters Mini Burner and decided to hit a jump and do a bar cross-over but as he came in to land he hadn't manage to straighten up and hit the deck with his front wheel at 90° and went over the bars... like you do. Which we thought was fookin hilarious He then got up and ran home screaming to which we thought "fookin mard arse". We later found out that as he landed he'd only gone and caught his ball bag on the exposed bar end and ripped the fooker right open as he flew over the bars. Was fookin funny at the time but not so much afterwards. Then again he always was a bit of a numbskull.
I might have got mixed up, but someone who was there will be able to confirm
That picture of you with Glynn Lewis amazing !!! We're thinking of a "....with our heroes" section this would be perfect
