that fakie shot. was he doing a demo in a prison?

cool shots haven't seen them before..

yoda · « **Reply #7 on:** November 21, 2006, 09:23 AM »

The shot you think is a fakie is actually a 540 I reckon. Its on the TOL ramp which was outside the Freestylin offices. Sure this was a contest they had there around 88-89.

I might be wrong about that ramp but sure its a 540 tho....

For me it was how smooooth he was

piper · « **Reply #14 on:** November 21, 2006, 04:24 PM »

Yeh he was smooth,but Mike D just seemed to have all the time in the world....

Arma · « **Reply #15 on:** November 22, 2006, 09:54 PM »

back brake always on right never was other way

??

radders · « **Reply #16 on:** November 23, 2006, 09:40 AM »

It is a 540 and its on the Vans / Gale Webb half pipe, but considering Mike D was doing them 8-9ft out at that time, I know who I think was the raddest. As for fakies, Dominguez was doing those 6ft out too, including kicked out table fakies and 1 hand 1 foot 540's and big 540's over the canyons and 900's blah, blah, etc, etc!!

yoda · « **Reply #17 on:** November 23, 2006, 01:57 PM »

Hahahaha I have to agree with Radders there although back in the day I did prefer the smooth style of EF. After meeting and riding with him on a couple of occasions he did seem to have an air of self importance about him.... Im sure Im not the first to comment on this either

Anyways the riding speaks for itself like Radders said 900's big 540's etc etc Dingo ruled! Did I read earlier in the year that he was riding again

?

radders · « **Reply #18 on:** November 23, 2006, 02:01 PM »

Yeah, Mike D was rad, as was Brian Blyther, Fiola was good, but I never rated him as highly as the other two.

Dave, how's the riding going these days? Are you up to much?

Rob Steele has told me that its time I got my bike back out of the shed for my annual 'comeback'. One of these days I'll get back into it and ride for a bit more than a couple of weeks in the winter.

yoda · « **Reply #19 on:** November 23, 2006, 02:30 PM »

Yep sounds familiar m8, I too have a lot of excuses and a bit of an old farts body going on

radders · « **Reply #20 on:** November 23, 2006, 02:52 PM »

I'm still doing lots of cycling, but the road racing sort, I never thought I'd see the day I was a regular lycra wearer, but it keeps me fit.

In case anyones wondering why Blyther was radder than Eddie then check this out !!

radders · « **Reply #21 on:** November 23, 2006, 03:01 PM »

Or Mike D

yoda · « **Reply #22 on:** November 23, 2006, 03:06 PM »

:daumenhoch:Good pics dont know about the Lycra though Radders

radders · « **Reply #23 on:** November 23, 2006, 03:15 PM »

Scarey but true

This is the bike I spend most of my time on, makes old school bmx's look cheap, around £4000 and weighs 16lb

yoda · « **Reply #24 on:** November 23, 2006, 03:31 PM »
