superb vid, shame its not still there, looks great fun to ride all those hips

[SaMAlex]

It was all metal so it was well slippy. I couldnt really get along with the slippyness but it didnt seem to hold anyone else back!

[TwoBobRob]

One of the first videos I ever watched - Sleazy Rider.  That and Tense Nervous Headache.  I remember watching those vids, going to Leigh on Sea full of big ideas and coming home again with my tail between my legs......

That was my local park, just a 15min ride away......or as i used save my energy for the ramps.....5 min in the car!

I am pretty sure i was there that day, was that a comp Alex? And did it have anything to do with Steve Jackson (i think that was his name)?

Had so many good days down there, and lots of bruises from tryin to 360 the feckin spine!!! Loved the small HP all day long. Sadly missed now that im ridin again.

I went to Leigh on Sea once bitd, but i can't remember anything about it.. 

if i remember rightly we all piled in james white's van and stayed there the night.  can't remember who else was there.  i think phil dolan, scott spencer, tim goldie....  i think it p*ssed it down overnight...

[Trev]

by the way.... way cool vid.... i love that 270 to peg stall....

I think there are a few sessions on that vid. One was def the comp that Steve Jackson and Tim Ruck organised. There is also footage from a session after the Backyard Jam in 93, we all drove straight from Hastings to Leigh on Sea. There is more footage on the Backyard Video from that year. Then the Joe Rich stuff must have been from another time, cos he wasnt at either of those to events. He was over for KOC in (in 93 I think). Grant? Help me out here?

[bsdforever]

you're right Alex,

there's footage from 3 seperate sessions there like you said. The Joe Rich part was after KOC 93

[SaMAlex]

The Joe Rich part was after KOC 93

Was that before everyone came to ride the Oxford ramps? I dont think Joe rode at Oxford cos he had hurt his ankle. I was a bit gutted, but watching Kirt was still great.

[bsdforever]

actually thinking back we went to Leigh on Sea just before KOC and then Oxford after that, I think Joe got hurt at KOC

[yoda]

Yep fat ankle for Joe that day, stuck on the deck all day which was a pity as it was one of those class sessions where everyone was so chilled and having a great time buzzing off each other. Lasted a full afternoon and some........ 

[SaMAlex]

Joe was saving himself cos it was the big Hoffman comp in OC a week or 2 later. That was the one when things really blew up for Joe and he got the cover of US Ride. I think there were loads of Brits at that comp too.

great vid that some very good riders there
