cool pic!!!

and yes craig strong was the wheelie king
looptail ripper, homemade forks, and a FIXED wheel

he would do the wheelie striptease where his bike, um, fell to bits during the wheelie.
at one point he would be up on the headtube with a spanner

Nope  :(  I could still do that type of drop in, but not one handed one footed , up untill I stopped using a coaster brake when my graphite tuffs broke in June this year. The last one I tried on a freewheel resulted in me landing on my head at Redditch  :(

Craig Strong, that right... I forgot about him stripping the bike down while doing the wheelie..yeah, that was dody even back then :-\ 

Billy, that drop in is a definate 'coaster brake' drop in. You were the King of those 1 hand 1 foot drop in's, look how your bars are crossed up, aggro man! Why don't you ask Pete Hawkings for a new coaster brake tuff  ;D 

Anyone heard from Chris Young? The Crystal Palace King. I remember going down to Palace to those Fiberglass jumps / ramps.. wasn't that Chris's stomping ground? Both Billy and Chris had a lot in common..  both loved working with Pete Hawkings  :-\

I rode with Chris on his dad's Skyliners team - happy days.

Google Chris Young BMX  and prepare yourself for an interesting read...... :o

He is, or was, residing at Her Majesty's Pleasure under slightly bizarre circumstances  ;)

Don't remember you, I met you at Rom & Skaterham this year.
I used to live near Rob Bell & we used to ride all over the place, quite a bit at Rom, was there when Fiola was there too.
Anyone know where Rob Bell is now, havn't seen him in about 20 years.

Maybe a little later on from me then, I gave up quite early. I only remember Haro and Dominguez at Rom, when did Fiola go there?
