Props for this great site....Damon Nicholls 'ere AKA Ramp Rat / Bog Rat. I was chatting with Frazer Camps over the weekend and he told me that Billy was back on his BMX getting goofy foot at ROM all over again. So like any good soul does, jumped on Google and searched Billy Stupple and ROM skatepark.
Mid-life crisis, 36 and loving ebay. ebay found my long lost friend. BMX. It feels good to re-unite with a mate I spend every waking hour with. I just bought a pollished PK Ripper with flight cranks, lovely bike. I live in Santa Monica, CA, they've just built a beautiful skate park with some wicked bowls.
Love the pictures and videocam of ROM. I have dreams of that skatepark, I loved spending the day there. I remember a kid called Pikey, he used to rip in the mogules. I think he was one of your mates Billy. You lot would have a contest as to who could outdo the other by doing the knarliest dropins into different bowls. I remember seeing Dave Curry on the edge of the concrete halfpipe trying to drop in, he was holding on to the green lamp post shitting bricks. Who wouldn't! Marco Lara was always talking about jumping the 10 ft fence at the end of the freestyle area and landing in the driving school area. Did he ever do it? Shout out to the Ashstead Rock Steady Crew. Jason Lunn's still ripping, check out
