Guys - I wasn't saying that Eddie Fiola was/wasn't raddest dude in the world, I was just highlighting a few particularily rad pics of the little fella...

Those pics are without a doubt fecking rad...we can have a Mike D and Brian B love-in another time.  ;)  ;D



BTW...the debate was covered a while ago: http://www.radbmx.co.uk/forum/index.php'topic=13741.0

Point taken, Eddie was rad, but even by 84 he was starting to be overshadowed. He was the ultimate showman back on those days, which is why I think more people remembered him compared to Mike D. Dominguez almost seemed like a recluse in comparison, he'd just turn up at a contest blast some huge airs and then disappear again, not to be seen again, until the next contest, whereas Eddie was always about.

Definitely time for a BB / Mike D photo thread though, unless this constitutes one already  ;)

Yep, Eddie was flaggin by the end of 84 compared to Mike D, etc... who just took it to another level... but Eddie will alway be the one I remember and the reason why I bought a Performer! Like you say...he was a great showman and that's what freestyle was all about, but times change.

Bring on the BB and Mike D truibute!  :daumenhoch:
