was that cos you and Tom had silly hairdressers cars and you had to take your front wheels out all the time to fit your bikes in?

Harsh but fair

Is that Darren Oneil? Top bloke, when we were pi$$ing around at C0cksmoors he of all the racers would have a chat & not treat you like a "burner boy" quote Jeff Dovey

Yes, Dazza is the man, he's just such a good bloke. Fast as fook too! These guys all were, I was probably teh slowest one on the team!

Are those skinwall dirt monsters on those beauties?

yeah mine are 1.75 dirt monsters with 60 psi in em and they feel awesome on the track, they feel a lot more precise than comp 3's in my mind

Two very underrated frames.

TNT had a great team in the 90s - Shaun Andrews and Curtis Last.

I'm sure S&M Alex will have Gossa's test of the Elf Double Cross circa 1992 from BMX News mag.

Oh go on then mike, since you asked! I've still got a few Elf pads and some race pants. Check the team, that was a hot team, Revell, Stobart, Oneil, Lynchy and me.

Cor, that's one bit of my BMX memory that completely failed, as I never remember ELF having a whole team. I was tempted to buy an ELF Double Cross after seeing yours, but you told me at the time that you didn't really get on with it cos it had a twitchy/steep head angle.

Anyway, quite a stacked team of top riders. Makes me realise that sponsoring a team in UK BMX means jack really, cos ELF never became a household name in the UK, despite having a loaded team like that.

I wouldn't mind getting hold of one of those Webco frames that Dale was riding in the same issue, as that would make an unusual project. Don't see many of them around.

gossa · « **Reply #35 on:** October 02, 2007, 08:15 PM »

yeah i guess that was a pretty peachy team eh?

As for elf stuff, i've got some pads and some really gay aero elf race pants with my name on the back.

I've probably got a set of blue pads in pretty good condition, do you want me to look for them boys?

nic968 · « **Reply #36 on:** October 03, 2007, 11:09 AM »

I'd definitely be interested in the elf pads dude...

OrgasmDonor · « **Reply #37 on:** October 03, 2007, 06:09 PM »

i'd be very interested too please dude, but sort nic968 out first and i'll have the left overs

Hey Clive, can you post a scan of the Webco Mentos part of that test please, as Mad Dog has just picked one of those up and wanted to see what it looked like in full glory. Thanks

gossa · « **Reply #39 on:** October 16, 2007, 07:45 PM »

Sorry Mike, I only kept the picture of me (selfish twat eh?) email the Holmes, he'll have loads of pictures......you know Dale OK? If not i'll mail him of you but he loves chatting os trivia.....

dialledbikes · « **Reply #40 on:** October 16, 2007, 07:48 PM »

No worries Clive. Yeah, I know Dale. Trivia King!

gossa · « **Reply #41 on:** October 16, 2007, 10:18 PM »

Mike, all he knows is what's in his Action Bike mag stash and every possible thing from the Kelloggs series, apart from that he's clueless!

He asked me Andy Pattersons team 'colour' from the Kelloggs the other day the knobber....blue of course........

I can slate Dale on here as word over on bmxtalk is that Billstup has banned him on here for defamatory RADBMX remarks!!!

dialledbikes · « **Reply #42 on:** October 17, 2007, 12:09 PM »

Well, I can't really comment on that Clive, cos in the BMX world past, present and future I'm a nobody compared to the likes of you, Holmes, Fleming, etc.

I grew up riding my BMX with my mates every spare minute we had and the only info we received (other than going to the odd NE regional) of the BMX world outside of our little bubble was from the pages of Action Bike, Plus, Action, Bi-Weekly, etc.

Dales been around BMX for a long, long time and has experienced things first hand (as have you) that I have only read of in magazines. So I respect him for sticking with BMX and all the things he's achieved.

gossa · « **Reply #43 on:** October 17, 2007, 06:07 PM »

Only banter Mike, everyones a nobody in comparisin to Dale including me, he's done everything and he's one of the very few people i make an effort to keep some sort of contact with. full of enthusiasm and passion for bmx after all these years, man that is admirable.
