OD, I gave that a try with an extra "for fook's sake" but no luck. I'll keep trying. She has to give in. Ha.

Billy, that would be way too cool. Many thanks. I'll be looking for an opportunity to get over there. Keep in mind I'd be quizzing you all night long about the early freestyle scene in the UK and digging through old mags. Just got back from the Interbike trade show and ran into a few of the lads - Jamie, Carlo and met Mason Smith for the first time. Ken Coster says hi!

One thing I really regret is never getting to see Neil ride because Craig has always been one of the top riders to me and I hear people comparing Craig and Neil all the time.

You missed something very special there then Maurice, Craig was super smooth and a top class rider but Neil Ruffell was the radest rider I ever saw from that period, the guy just had something extra! He was awesome!

Great build by the way and great write up as usual, love to read your posts dude.

Take care.

Daz.
