From the October 1984 issue of BMX Action Bike. Some pics of the Streetbeat prototype included. I've added the cover which needed a bit of retouching.

Click the thumbnails.

Pics taken at the South Bank and Southsea skate park on the 1984 Skyway European Tour. There were a series of pics in BMXA over a three month period and if you look closely I`m in the backgroung of one of the pics taken at Southsea

Hey, what's up guys? I have to say, going to Europe in '84 was a huge thing for me. We were already blown away seeing how into it people were over there but when we got to the UK it was just nuts. What a cool scene. You guys were lucky to have all that going on over there. Great riders too.

I mean for me personally, I had barely been more than like 50 miles away from home and all of the sudden we're going over there. After that trip I had been to more countries than states in the US. I've been back a couple times on my own power and loved it but what I really want to do is get over there with a bike and hit some of those spots like ROM, Southsea and SouthBank. One of my biggest bummers riding was not getting to go back in '85. Worked my ass off and got a 2nd and 3rd in Expert class edging Peterson out both times thinking if I could put myself up as the main flatlander on the Skyway US team I'd be going to Europe. It was a bummer because it was actually the contest where I did best that I heard that they already booked the tickets and I wasn't going. Man, I was chapped about that one since there was no way I could afford to go on my own.

Yeah, that Street Beat prototype is like a Holy Grail of mine and I don't even really collect. There is a chance it's out there somewhere since Dave's parents just let people take his bikes and stuff. One of his Boss frames, a helmet and number plate turned up so you never know.

I'm building up the TA in those pictures. Still have a few of the parts too. The frame got pretty rusty in a shed but it's getting done up by Rod Miles the master of metal and I have nearly all the parts for it. Have a jersey and a signed '84 tour banner to go with it and have already started prepping the wifey for it going in the house. I'd really like to get a Vander and Peterson jersey too.

Yeah, Bill there are things about that trip that I don't remember either. It's funny how that goes. It was kind of a whirlwind thing though. That Peter Hawkins kept us busy! Ha. Yeah, if anyone sees him tell him Hi for me.

Well, I had been meaning to check with you Bill about advertising the shirts here but I've been lagging and I guess it's out of the bag. If it's OK with you, I can do the same deal as with VBMX and put a dollar into the site for everyone sold through here.

Man, I would love to see any photos from that trip!

dirtyvans · « **Reply #18 on:** October 19, 2006, 10:26 AM »

sounds cool, i already ordered my shirt through your site

i'll post some photos, when i get a spare few minutes

From the left you have Rob Peterson, Craig Campbell showing someone why he`s not riding ( bad wrist ), me taking off the crash helmet, Paul (rocky) Hudson talking to Maurice Meyer. Dave Vanderspec must be doing his bit of demo when that was taken
