Id take a guess at it being 93, just cos of the black Hoffman shirt. Im sure some people on the site could tell you what month the frame he is riding was made!

Check out what a bung together my bike was, and yet, at the same time, very collectable now.

GT mallet stem
early knee saver bars
Leary turbo cranks
RL edge rims on super pro hubs
RL edge tyres
Blue shimano DX pedals

Man, Im glad I dont wanna re build that bike!

Couple of years before your time this guys but I actually used to air out of that bowl for the laugh. If you just hit it right you could get a couple of three feet out and land on the higher over-hanging transition on the other side. It was fun.

In fact, it was that very bowl I started doing tail whip jumps out of before (I'm sure) anyone had ever attempted them. First one happened by accident, I was doing a one footed can can jump and my foot slipped off mid air and the bike flung round so I just put two and two together and with in about half an hour I was getting my feet back on. Jess Derynforth and Dave Slade were my witnesses. No gyros though back then just the old pots mod so had to detangle before next attempt - lol!
