sit down i want to tell you all a story
« on: November 14, 2005, 11:43 AM »
Okay this is a picture of the Redditch national from 83.. I was racing for Wizzard racing aka Alan Woods team. I won this event (one of the few i did) but it was funny because the rear tyre i was using was from my sisters shopping bike!!! It was a whitewall slick. Now for all you young uns this was the days before slicks where made bmxs just had knobblies. well i kept looking at that tyre on my sisters bike at home and thinking. Would it work?? It fitted perfect because it was a 20 inch rim. So i stuck it on and ran it at REDDITCH in the race.
It created a fair commotion in the paddock with Official bmx even taking pictures of the revolutionary new tyre!!! I wish i had the copy of the mag because they ran a picture of the tyre in it.. Little did they know..
TRUE STORY only the names have been changed to protect the innocent
Oh yes check out the old school names in the background.. Mike Chilvers and the skate legend Steve Gratton.anyone remember them?
