Thats funny that we might have met. Phil Chapman! Thats the bloke. Some of those other names ring bells but I was very young. It was mainly Worzel, Phil and Foxy I knew but only cos I was mates with Ian Oz. My crowd from Oxford also included Graham "Spud". Spud, Ian Oz and me came over a few times and rode all over MK. Those "pipeline" concrete minis on the side of the res, all kinds of cool banked spots.Sly fox! nice one. Jeremy had all kinds of things on the go. Pro Keds! He really did well with deathbox and flip. I bumped into him in a bar in LA a few years ago. He was still moaning! At one of the Mons comps I got second and won a race shirt and pants. The 3rd place prize was a sly fox seat clamp which I would much rather have had! Ian Oz has still got an orange one with black spots.I'll mention you to Ian Oz, what would he have known you as, or what bike did you ride?
That pic of Wilkerson and Blyther is great! Didnt Wilkerson use that seatclamp for quite a while? I think there was as sequence in BMXA of him doing a frame whip combo with it on his bike. Look how thin Foxy Looks!!!!I dont remember that shop, although some of it is coming back. The freestyle comp I rode in was sponsored by a radio show I think. I'll dig out the trophy cos it says something like that on itIan wont sell his seatclamp. He wont sell anything!!! He still has the Hutch jnr and the PK that he used to ride! He isnt into collecting, he'd just rather keep the parts he still has.
Hey matt isnt that steve driver in the cw kit on the edge of the picture,steve lees racing was the shop wasnt it,taffy used to work up there on a saturday i think.Im not sure weather hair laquer on the tyres used to work at the agora !!!!!!!!!
Taffy? From MK? did he used to race for Burner?Do you know Ron? I met him a few times but I dont know him. Do you know Geoff Cain who used to work for Ron? He lives here in Oxford now
I know the one, Ian Morris came to ride too. top man, cos it was just a small local jam. I was only talking to Tim Ruck about those pics today (he took them). Funny cos there was a council meeting yesterday about building a propper skatepark on that very site. we find out the result in march
There is a great mini spine, midi with wallride and vert ramp in Oxford but its all wood, outside and in a bit of a mess now.Seans ramp was a long time ago! It didnt get smashe up ... it got stolen!!! someone took the 6 sections of transition, carried them over the field and canal to the side of the A40 and made a few trips in a van to take them. We went to ride it mid theft and thought it was sean who was taking it.
