Where are they now? BMX Beat 1985

[TwoBobRob]

Bless him.  I remember all too well him coming over to Rom as a young lad with his parents in tow.  I went up to Custom Riders in 94 when I started back and they all remembered me.  Which was nice.

Was one of the first companies to support me in my little bmx shop venture and a genuinely nice fella. Saw him the other week riding at Corby, still ruling.

I wouldn't have recognized Mason Smith. No way.

Recent photos. thats a good idea. There was one of pepi riding at carlo's ramp somewhere, I'l need to search for it.

I'm with you on that Tricknuts, I would never have guessed that to be Mason.  I haven't seen him in over 16 years. As anyone who knows me, my biggest claim to fame was finishing above Mason in a pro flatland comp.  I think I need to take a trip to Custom Riders to see how he is.

Don't worry he'll be fine . He did occasionally get beaten , and  it was 16 years ago, so I'm sure he's got over it.

sorry I meant Scott MacDonald is on the left

Can I just make a point, (and not that Andy did bragg), but if you can't talk proudly and with fond memories about your BMX past then there's not a lot we can talk about on this site  The more stories about what you did and who you rode for the better as far as I'm concerned. Don't know about you guys but I'm personally not fussed about what who can do what nowadays, historically I'm only interested in the pioneering times.

One of my best and proudest times have been at Rad meets lining up with the likes of Billstup and Geth on the startgate. These guys were/are real heros of mine (sorry to embarrass you folks) and in turn rode against some big, big names.. now if you can't brag about that what can you brag about!!

Some great pics on this post by the way chaps keep em coming

Well so far as I'm concerned, anyone I used to read about in the mags BITD, is perfectly entitled to bragg about their BMXing achievements !
