Couldn't resist posting another pic from BMX Action Bike Feb '85 (last one honest), but I see Mr Campbell is a rider held in high esteem amongst the members here – me too. The trick was debuted in my home town of Edinburgh and he is riding the Scotia BMX quarter pipe (Scotia were one of the top BMX shops in Scotland at the time). A few of my mates were there, I wasn't

Anyway, this trick went down a storm and he did it again in the Holeshot comp in London and won the championship. Do you reckon the framestand fakie is still rad today?

There's no way I would attempt it

Love the avatars guys.

Thought you might agree. Just wanted to share a cool pic of Craig C.

Yeah, Wilkerson's fakies at the Kelloggs stick in my mind too. Awesome!

great stuff. What ever happened to the Scotia ramp? and all the other Vincents that must be lying about somewhere?
I think i'll start collecting old school quarterpipes..

Here's a pic of Mike D doing an awesome fakie. The pedals must spin like hell when he hits the pipe and rolls back. Even if he had a coaster there's risk of locking the back wheel. Hats off!

Yip. On Aggroman and Headfirst also.....

Wilkerson used to have a big fakie as well I think.

tricknuts · « **Reply #13 on:** November 06, 2005, 04:18 AM »

Carlo. got any photos? that would be well rad. I remember seeing mcCoy bail on one at the worlds in Manchester, and hit his head. He didn't know where he was.... Very crazy trick. did anyone ever hook up with them? It's the only trick where its better to hook up the front wheel as opposed to the rear

sean · « **Reply #14 on:** November 06, 2005, 01:00 PM »

I saw McCoy bail at manchester too. He didnt know his arse from his elbow when he hit the deck.
he tried to get up but his legs were like jelly. :o

Nice pic Stevo.....that brings back a few memories.
I think I was there that day. Was that the demo at Meadowbank Stadium? I'm sure I remember Junior from Livi getting higher than anyone else of that ramp.

Hi,

I was there too, although it all seems a long time ago now. Anyway, on the subject of what happened to the old ramps, especially the Scotia ones, well, ,my mates and I bought two of them and kept them in our home town of Troon, Ayrshire. The first one was all-wooden, about 6' wide, painted white with a blue arrow up the front and the Scotia logo at the top. This ramp always wanted to tip over backwards, and was forever propped up with pieces of timber. Problem was, the arrangeemnt of this timber meant that the ramp was different almost every time you hit it, sometimes undervert sometimes over, sometimes not supported at all, and would topple over backwards while you rode up.

The other one was a bigger metal framed one, which folded out to include a towhitch and proper wheels, so it could be towed behind a car, I think it was made by Vincent. This was a good pipe - we were too young to drive, so we kept it at someone's house, and we used to sit on it to counterbalance it and push it to the local schoolyard to use it - happy days! That pipe was the business at the time, though I'm sure it's probably not as big as I remember it being.

Both ramps ended up at the local bmx track which by then had seen better days. We built them into a sort-of half-pipe arrangement along with a mini ramp - lots of options how to ride it, all of them crap. It gets very windy in Troon, and they ended up blowing away during a storm, never did see them again - shame, really.

Why are all the pictures deleted?
Is there now a copyright issue on RAD?

Check the date of the thread

Also if an admin had deleted the pics then it would say so at the bottom, just like this one
