skyway - billstup, carlo, ramprat, maurice meyer
ammaco - twobobrob
vincent - yoda
gt - jeff spicoli plus another i think who hasn't really made himself known on here so i'll respect the fact he's keeping a low profile.

i rode for the ladies

harris · « **Reply #9 on:** January 18, 2007, 12:31 PM »

for me it was just about the riding but someone taking me to places "not all good"
the freebies where handy few bikes just ask for what you need rearly didnt always get it thou
trying a few proto types out .money wise not alot for me in 1985 6 7 .sort of £50 hear and there
some times £100 for some stuff it depended rearly who and what it was for a fare could be £20.
but it was more of a laugh on the road.

me sister gtgirl or summat on here rode for GT you can see her bringing up the rear of some of the kellogs (not bad considerin she was younger than SJN) Not much in the way of perks really cause me and me brother got the same amount of kit and went to all the UK races she did n we weren't great (i think my seasons best was club no2 to darren reidy) I guess she did get some neat european trips though.

hi

i had sponsership from the guys who imported silver fox bmx (mt racing) based over at headcorn kent.

never actually rode their bikes just replaced the hutch decals with the mt racing ones.

got all my kit and traveling expsenses paid so not a bad deal i think.
