Get your new svelte self up for the candy bar contest!!!What a day!! Jamie....well done old friend! I woke this morning and one of the lads i ride with and bought with me said "RH, the weather is gonna be cr@p today!" what does he know?? i know that when i woke this morning and smiled for day that layed ahead some one else smiled on the day as well because it was a day in memory of him, and who could forget the charismatic Winder smile and cheeky ness that went with it to brighten any dreary out look up, thanks Pepi for keeping the weather at bay.The day started a bit quietly and for a moment i thought i'd got the wrong weekend!! Dirty Den rang me and said he was in the car park but needed his chain fixing (FIRST GIGGLE OF THE DAY) so i rescued him and sorted his chain, then more people turned up and the riding started going off a bit, Mike o'connell was possibly the first to be there super early and tore the mini ramp apart with his usual array and onslaught of front brake and front wheel shananigans!! Mr Canning made an appearance as did the legend of vert more commonly known as the Bish! nice one for coming Steve although i hope the spuds you had to go off and peel were worth it!!Then Jamie and his crew made it and set up there kit, lots of goodies displayed ready for the Pepi auction, some great pics of Pep in some nice frames were on the agenda for the auction as well as bars grips and DVD's. Jamie and co looked like they were on for a most splendid result! Time for the action and i have to say i havnt laughed like i did today for such a long time, brought back those memories of days gone by.....The candy bar challenge was histerical! new school riders that had the chance to ride with Pepi or just new him did him proud, no one at the start looked as if they had ever done a candy bar anything ever but by the end of the sesh they were going off all over the place, over the spine, Jump box and even peeps doing airs....brilliant!Then the foot down comp, i cant begin to say how funny that was, the amount of people that started off was enormous and looked as if there was gonna be real carnage all over but all ended well despite bikes being literally thrown in front of people, laid in the path of riders landing over jump boxes and all sorts!! briliant!Then the auction went off and it looked like peeps were digging deep for all sorts of goodies....well done again to Jamie and his possey for the donations and help that went towards the stuff that went under the hammer. The buckets that were laid around the place seem to do well as well, all good stuff but to me the most memorable part of the day was when a young local lad that Pepi had obviously made an impression on came up to me on the midi ramp and said "Hi mate are you here for the Stuart thing?" i didnt know what to say, not because of what he'd asked me but because he'd asked me if i was there to help with the Stuart thing....."Oh sh1t....You mean Pepi" i said and he nodded and said back "Yep Pepi......my friend"and then rolled in to the ramp......I cancelled a booked private seshion at Interact for 2 days today and tomorrow to be at an oldschool uk legends memorial event and to do what i could to help raise money to give Pepi a deserved send off, i am oldschool and i am new school and so was Pepi, i knew him well enough to have a telephone conversation and a chat at an event but never really really new him as a mate....my loss, if i can cancel such a weekend and make it to an important day to help in even a small way then i'm sure some of the 3000 members on this website could too....they didnt so i hope that you will all still dig deep and pledge whatever you can to the email address given in other threads, if you need reminding of what they were i will post them at the bottom.....just a pound is all thats needed from each of you and i gues anything that is left over will go to another charitable cause.....A very poor turnout today RADBMX so now make you amends and help give the oldschool legend that is Stuart "Pepi" Winder the sendoff he deserves.R.I.P Pepi,RH.
Jamie will you be able to let us know when and where the funeral is.ThanksBilly
