Cheers Piper.

What did he die of 

[Geth]

Car crash.
I think it was a beetle. Not positive on that though.

[mantadave]

Thats really sad how long ago 

[Geth]

er....
I lost track of time! Its a while ago. There was a memorial race at Chesterfield that I remember going to, but the exact year I really don't remember. I'm guessing mid to late 90's.
I feel bad now

[mantadave]

Thanks i hate stuff like this he was part of the history of bmx in the 80s 

[Geth]

He definitely was.
The whole of the Maw family are fondly remembered by a lot I'm sure.
It wasn't that long ago that Jonty Maw was still riding up in the Grimsby area. A lot of the lads on www.gypobmx.co.uk used to hang with him and ride. Not sure if he still is though.
