July 19th through 21st. European Championships in Spain, Palau de Plegamans.
Organizer Joan Ventura. BMX track of "Can Cortes".
In general the organization was of low quality, many problems occurred and even the police had to go out on the track to restore law and order. Many National representatives protested afterwards at the I.BMX.F office.

that's the only info i can find on subject on gerrits site.

[SteveG]

I have the September 85 copy of BMXAB with a report on the European Championships. I can scan it if its any interest.

[harris]

yes please   

[SteveG]

I have all copies of Action Bilke up to December 85 so if there is anything specific give me a list to look for and I will try and find it for you.

[harris]

if there is anything to do with john vile on a white hutch red pads .would be handy..dan   

[SteveG]

No pictures of John Vile in the Euros report, do you still want it ? I will have a look through and see if I can see any pictures of him.

[harris]

yes mate  i do have one pic 

[kdw712]

Got some from bi weekly vol 5 iss 16

from euros at catalunya
big centre spread pic
but he's on a red  not a white ride














any good ?

[SteveG]

Here are the scans.

[harris]

cheers for the pics guys .now im totally confused  then again that aint hard for me   

[harris]

just spoke to john     he won the british championships on it   

[SteveG]

Just found this but it isn't much help, sounds painful too.

 

[SteveG]

This is better but he isn't on the white bike.

[Mattdub]

Dan ,

I've got Brum wheels (Euros , must be 84 ?) pics but no scanner I can find , do you have those pics SteveG ? .

[SteveG]

I have got the 84 euros article. There are some pics of John Vile but he is on a chrome framed Hutch again.

[harris]

it was the british champs he was on the white one .my mistake  great pics guys   .

[SteveG]

Action Bike did a test on the Hutch Pro-Star and John Vile rode his then current Chrome framed Hutch with their tester. It says he got a red frame shortly after the test, that was December 84. I guess the white one came next.
