Weird to think our paths crossed 25 years ago, but I didn't get to know Hudu until about 3 years ago and Billy Stupple last year.

That day was one of my most memorable BMX days ever.  Doing gates with Andy Patterson and pestering Bob "Mid-Air" Medrano to keep doing tabletops.

This lad we used to ride with sent Patterson flying over the gate cos he didn't drop it on "go".  Patterson gave him a lecture on how to gate start!

[darkersomeday]

Joe/Hudu, which skoyls/skosh did you go to in Sheff?  I went to Arbourthorne, Ashleigh and Hurlfield (the latter 2 are now long gone).

Sad to hear that Jamie Hunter passed away, Joe.

The Demons was a very slickly run team thanks to Freddie Hunter.

I`d love to see those pics hudu, and yes the herne bay track is plenty long, I`m used to the forth straight being the last one, but at Herne Bay there`s another 2 to go, it`s a cracking track though and I look forward to racing on it in the summer.

Sweet that the kids are tending the trails. they ain't that big man - just use your imagination to fill the 20 foot pits in and you are sweet. Hows Chadsy doin'? he still shredding?

Oh...and the Rotherham Comp I mentioned up there was the Comprehensive school ya big eejit :lol:

The bike comp you mean must be either the Carve Jam or the one at The school at clifton with the banks. Both of which went a bit mental.

hey mate
yeah i knew Paul wright and the king bros. also remember lee dakin and Paul Robinson.
im john cunningham.
i only raced regionally and not very successfully
i think i was  ost famous for attempting to jump the bomb hole
on my pro-lite and the front wheel coming off in mid flight
i cant wait to see some more pics
did you get any of when fiola came?

[munners]

Im really sorry John but i am pissing myself with laughter thinking what people must have thought when you were mid air with no front wheel. Not a bad thing to be remembered by. Did you style it out when you got off the deck?

[dwain dibbly]

Did you style it out when you got off the deck?

if you class stacking it big time with a no handed face plant , styling it out.  then yes!!
i still remember it clearly.  whipping of the burm and pulling hard as i tried to bunnyhop the gap but as i lifted the front end i saw my wheel disappear into the bombhole and i was in flight
when i got up out the dust i was met with howls of laughter and no one came to see if i was ok

id had the wheels of for some reason earlier and clearly forgot to tighten the front.
i never made that mistake again

[DR VINOAH]

so that must be the rolls royce your swear you didnt jump then bill 

[billstup]

I just seemed to have forgotten a lot from back then, but it`s all coming back now with the help of the photos

Me and my kid bro, who went on to break his spine and have to retire the bike, before becoming a minor rock star. He can pull a cherrypicker straight off to this day.
