Dan, you must have enuff pics to publish a book, "then and now" bmx style!!!
Wikkid stuff

ratty, not a bad idea, what with pics and storys, we could write a book

get this, some afternoons if there was no racing going on the riders at rom could

have been, me, pat, billy, pikey, marko, errol, john stockwell, chris young, sid saulsbury, craig schofield.

kieth wilson, niel ruffel, rob steel, even andy ruffel, and thats no joke, any given weekend

you could have had these riders turn up and we'd all just do our stuff and have a laugh, happy

days

I think you should do it. You have plenty of material and I'm sure everyone on here would like to hear the stories.

I was over there for every race meet, as well as anytime i could afford the train fare from walthamstow.
Shame Don Smith has passed away, he could have written it for you, as he wrote the first uk bmx book back in the early 80s.

It could show how much things have changed, or not as in the case of your riding Dan....

I lived for Rom, my weekend started with a 5 mile ride to Woolwich Arsenal train station, jump on the train to London Bridge, either in the guards van with the bike, or as close to it as possible with my address labels on the handlebars, then ride from there to Liverpool St. station, then on the train down to Romford station, then ride up from there to the mecca that is Rom for opening time, that I think was 9 o`clock back then, then ride all day to 6pm and start on the reverse journey home.

Then it was Sunday the next day so the same journey started again, happy days

To be honest what spoiled it was getting sponsored, because then I was all over the country every weekend doing demo`s so I didn`t get the chance to go, and when I did get a break all I wanted to do was go up the pub and clubbing it with my mates
