Just wondering which freestylers rode for ammaco... ??

Anyone have any scans/links/clips... anythin' basically.

I have the bike, but was too young to know that much first time around.

Just a little synopsis of the history would be great.

thanks
Owen

Watching BMX Beat on video over a 1000 times probably had something to do with it...

Did Andy Ruffell ever ride an Ammaco, although Ammaco were the importers I thought he always rode a Mongoose

I think that's a Supergoose, Andy rode the Magic Mountain race in the early 80's as Ammaco Mongoose rider as oppsed to a Facoty Mongoose rider although I could be wrong

He may have been on one for advertising purposes, but I don`t think he ever rode one in competition or demo`s

welsh denny · « **Reply #16 on:** November 07, 2007, 11:15 PM »

or did he? check this i put up. sure he's riding a white ammaco.

Trev · « **Reply #17 on:** November 08, 2007, 02:59 AM »

ok this is what he told me tonight. whilst riding for them, he always rode a mongoose until just before he stopped racing in 1987 when he rode an ammaco and a robinson. he can't remember why he rode the robinson though.

he also told me what ammaco stood for. A Malcolm, Malcolm And Chris Organisation. I never knew that...

Swivel · « **Reply #20 on:** November 08, 2007, 08:31 AM »

That looks like an ammaco to me, see the frame pad and decals on the bike, all Ammaco'd up!

I believe Ruff rode for both Goose and Ammaco

I packed up at the end of 84, but at that time Ruffell definately only rode a Goose. The teams were run completely seperately.
