I was pretty sure I had invented disasters like in 92. i was livin in newie OZ ridin skatepark quarter, I'd been doin' 'em for like a week getting em down, and i was thinking the whole time that i was gonna call em "frame stretchers", cause i was pretty sure i was stretchin' my frame every time i came down heavy. Just then some numpty rolls over and suggests i throw a barspin in the air before i land that "Disaster" and i would have a well sweet move, i was shattered not only did it already have a name that was obviously in common circulation(i mean c'mon aussie doesn't get much first) but people had moved on to combo's on my move already???

Back in 1981 I did a really fast 180 and accidentally landed on a handrail (pegless no less). Imagine my surpise when I accidentally ground up the rail backwards to downside half cab whip off the top. Needless to say I never mentioned it to anyone at the time and everyone that witnessed this feat gave up riding and emigrated to Madagasca shortly afterwards.

I remember riding with tim ruck, mad alan, andy keast, and a few others in about 92 when bmx was 'dead'.... i couldnt for the life of me do 'normal' no handers, and ended up doing suicide type ones on a flyout at mortonhampstead bmx track - im not claiming to have ever been the first, I just remember being annoyed that I couldnt get the bars tucked onto my lap and instead had to make do with just airing, gripping the seat with my knees then throwing my arms out to either side! Never got them behind my back though in true suicide fashion!happy days. My backs so knackered now I cant jump to save me life.....
