Who raced 83 -86 and is age 33 now ??
« on: September 15, 2005, 05:34 PM »
Just wondered who I may have raced against !

I think I raced 82/83  -  86    but am not 100 % sure

Age 33 now    20-02-1972

Anyone in my age group -    raced WM regionals / opens  in NBMXA  but did a couple of Nationals and the Open Brits a coule of times

???

i was born 21/12/72, raced nationals at hounslow, kellogs at cocks moor, regionals at hereford, cheltenham and some other southe central(?) places? i think.

the only person i can remember racing against was cy something (shearer?) who i think rode for torker. the entire field went down at cocks moor apart from me (at the back) and this bloke got up and still beat me.

rhys roberts, race numbers were 4109 and 1284 (blueplate one? cant remember which was which organisation) i would bet you dont know me as i never made it out of motos at the regional or national level. originally from wales and used to race with a large swansea/cardiff based crew

in early 80's Motobecane, Gitane and Peugeot were the most popular, in 1986 Motobecane became MBK, Gitane and Peugeot stopped their product but another brand was growing. It was called MX france before 1985 and after named Sunn, i think MBK and Sunn  produced the biggest part of french BMX..

i read an interview in DIG mag with alex dropsy (who rides for twenty velocross) and i'm sure he mentioned he was employed by the french gevernment to teach kids how to ride bmx. how cool is that! and the bloke does mental jumps with no brakes

Have you seen the Buckmore Park Thread under parks, tracks and gatherings - if you've got any photos add them. :)
