Awesome... I haven't seen these for ages!!!
What an amazing event!
I was in the B group and got my first magazine coverage in Freestyle BMX.
BMX Action Bike just referred to me as the Milton Keynes Kid... funny as I never really lived in MK.
Thanks for posting these treasures, so many great vert  riders, and I love all the clothes!

Here's the shot I have... I was stoked to share the page with Mon :-)

Lee, are you sure that was the same event? There were a few Jams at Mons (See the other threads). In the BMX ActonBike article it says about the B group only having 3 riders. The first one crashed (me) and Randy Shohara beat the other, Nicky from Brackley.

Havin said that, if you entered any of the B groups at Mons, I probably rode in it too. How cool is that? I never knew I rode in a contest against you

This was Mon's second jam for sure.
I was in the 16+ B group with Mike Canning, Ian Osborne and Daryl Stanley.
I probably came last, but I didn't care!
Fun times...

Ah yes, I see. You were 16+, I was under 16. My mistake. 

I still see Ian all the time and Daryl now and again.

If you look at the black & white photo of Andy's can can lookback I'm the unnamed geezer all the way to the right.
I was just hanging out with Andy 10 minutes ago.

Hey, thats great. That photo had enough rad people in it before, to have you in there is even better. Sorry I missed you 

[Lee Reynolds]

No worries.
I remember being in awe of everyone that day.
It was the first time I had met most of those guys.
It definitely motivated me to step up my game, and re-inforced my love for halfpipes!
Good times...

That whole era was punk as f-uck! The clothes, well they were questionable, but sure beat another factory robo-clone!

That whole Nick P/ R.A.D thing was when BMX went through puberty eh, cast off the control/opinions of parents (UKBFA), do want you want, however wacky it might be.

It was when BMX changed for the better, for ever . . . . the judgement was on your riding and character, not your back hop count or Kelloggs/BMX Beat placing . .
