[Stace]

Not much to go on but only pix I have but trying to work out the year.  Its 90 summin

It's gotta be after 1991.  I think that was  the last comp i competed it.  Seeing Fearless Ramps sprayed on the ramps must give a clue.  I think TwoBobRob may have a few better clues...

[TwoBobRob]

Lets see now......

Bandstand is still complete,  old vert ramp and what looks like the original jumpbox so I'm gonna go with 96-97.  If that rider is Mirra  (I can't quite tell)
  then I think that makes it 96.

Jesus Christ - thats 10+ years ago!!!!  where the hell did that decade go...   

[Trev]

I think I spent that decade at the pub or going to watch football...     Trev - The Wasted Years...

if it is mirra then it's 95

is it jamie bestwick, 1996?

[TwoBobRob]

its not Mirra now I look again - his feet are the wrong way round I believe.  95 is too early for Fearless Ramps.  My first two KOCs were 94&5 and I went there as a regular punter.  Fearless came along in 96 I think, our first 'proper' gig was late in 95.


Based on that, I think you're right Ruler.  96 it is   


On a side note,  the graffitti artist that did the paintwork for us did about 10 pieces in all with that one being one of the smallest.  He was finished within an hour, the lot.  Truly amazing to watch.  I'd love to have a talent like that... 

[Trev]

Tim Goldie of Ceramic Rabbit fame.,,,  He is the graf master....  His work is truly legendary.....  He was even given a wall at school.  His artistary is as good as anyone you will ever see....  If only I could get him back on a bike..... I'm working on it.....

Most interesting!  My memories of KOC are, I'm afraid, very hazy!  I even got interviewed by MTV on one of 'em (I DJed 2 or 3 years on the trot)...another scrap of info that might shed some more light on it, is I got an orange annivesary t shirt one year, and I remember wearing it on holiday in 1997, so it must have been before that (maybe it was 10 years of KOC?)

I dunno, anyway, Stace picked my brains, but I'm afraid the old grey matter is kind of, well, shot to bits!
