a few pics of mike canning blasting in cardiff ramp room back in 1987. pics courtesy of chris fowler. (Chris got hundreds of negatives from the 80's which need to be reprinted but it's gonna cost a fortune. I tried a cheap scanner which is supposed to convert em from negs to reg pic on the pc but could never get it to work properly. any ideas out there folks?)

Mike Canning was rad.  I had lunch with Lee reynolds on Saturday and we were reminising about old school riders and Mike was one of them.

Does Lee still look like a Cure fan?

(sorry, that is reference to a thread on here about old Goths, and another about how old Robert Smith looks now)

Mike was rad.  Does he still ride?  Last time I saw him he was working at Powerhouse bike shop in Haywards Heath.  Must be at least 10 years ago.

Lee will be riding again in a week and a half.  He's dusting off his bike at the moment, we are supposed to go ride the big halfpipe in Clairemont.  I'm not sure about the cure fan, but I can say he's younger than me yet more gray hair. ;D
I don't know if Mike still rides but I think there are some members on here that have some contact with him.  I bet he could still rip.

Lee and I were introduced at an early 90s comp at Portsmouth by Andy Brown, his (Lee's) girlfriend handed out the trophies & stuff. Say hi from me if he remembers -we also met at a couple of Alfreton comps, I have a couple of pics of those BEAUTIFUL cancan lookbacks at unreal heights.
Last I heard about Lee's riding was that his ankle was so badly knackered he wasn't to do it ever again, so it's good to hear he's back on two wheels.

Nothing wrong with grey hair, by the way.

And he does still rip too  :daumenhoch:
I see you stand like greyhounds in the slips,
 Straining upon the start. The game's afoot:
 Follow your spirit, and upon this charge
 Cry 'God for Harry, England, and Saint George!'

we're trying to get Mike to the Xmas bash, although injury is keeping him off a bike for the rest of the year...

Mike and I used to be members of the Noize trick team with Dean Rush, Dave Munt and The Zoid. He did a couple of shows a few weeks ago with Dennis Wingham for team Extreme in Jersey...so he's still ripping the vert but as Trev said he's suffering from injury at the moment......thanks to Dennis pushing Mike!!!!

I am organising a day out for a few of the old Pro's with the Zoid, so keep your eyes open for some wicked pics and vids soon.
