Chris was a great bloke, and a good racer b4 freestyle took off, it would be great to get him on here, even better if he can make ROM. Now wheres Craig and fraser Cambell???


Fraser Cambell can be seen skating in and around London,  Craig is DJing and skating (the last I heard).


One for Billstup and Chris Young;  What happened to Andy Heath?  I'd love to see him again but sadly I've heard bad things - i sincerely hope they're untrue  :(

We`ll have to wait for Chris to answer that one Rob as I`havent seen or heard from him since I gave up at the end of 84.

Barry was the UK Skyway manager for the 83 tour, but was replaced by Peter Hawkins by late 83 or early 84, tbh I think that Peter coveted the job and eased Barry out of the picture so he could get Craig on the team  :(

I was good friends with Rob BITD, we lived pretty close to each other, I have not seen him for 20 years, he used to live just across the road from Tooting Broadway underground station. I also did a few shows/demo's with Chris & Rob around the time they rode for Haro, I remember going to Alpine Action to collect Rob's Chrome 84 Master with him. Also my TA from BITD I got off Chris.

Would be great to get them both on here  :)

Love to see any old Pics. of Chris Young, anyone here got any? I remember Chris and Billy riding a Skyway Demo at Chatham race track - doing big airs on the old Skyway quarter pipe, looked so much more fun than getting all muddy racing round a track.

I remember a BMX Action Bike center spread of Chris Young doing an x - up, well over crossed, it was so cool looking. It really inspired me. Anyone have that pic?

Someones got a pic from that day, it might be Fatboymal. Chris won the comp that day and got the first Haro sponsorship in the UK, not full factory though, and I had the pleasure of going to the then UK distributor Gecko with Chris and picking up his Gen 1 and Haro jersey  :daumenhoch:
