good pics gazza!my fave-how clicked?
AS TIMING Would have it will evans was clearing out his loft and his mum prevented the throwing out of all the twenty zine master copies.. AND some UKBFA newsletters.. so a little delving shows the james hudson photos to in fact be junior MICK hudson, and yes, james indeed did air the other way. he rode at mansfield too though. (not bad either)your photos are great gary, i can place each air in the UKKOV section of the 20 vid!!
I see I started a bit of a debate there! Everything I've posted up has been completely from memory, so please feel free to correct anything. When I was uploading these pics, all I could think of was "Hudson" when I saw those shots - couldn't remember a first name at all! I'll change James to Mick then shall I?!By the way, why do I have a strange feeling that James won this comp, doing lots of lip tricks, but not many high airs???

I'm not sure if James won but you're right, he could have, because he was a very gifted techy rider, loads of lip variations etc. but was never very high at airs. If I'm honest I thought John was the best of the bunch but he didn't compete much. He was the kind of black sheep of the family so he wasn't that into competition, probably why we got on so well. He had a raw style about him, high, smooth, brakeless back then, and he was doing completely upside down inverts before I saw anyone doing them. Someone must have the Action Bike or R.A.D. when they came up to the Hudson's because there's a pic of John doing one and it's awesome for it's time.That's another point Gary, that rider could also be Jason Ellis because he went left to right and he used to do those one footers like that...??Sorry, I'm confusing everything now aren't I, it's just Mick was never the tallest of people either Darren.
That's ok dude - I didn't think you were! (I try to express myself as clearly as possible and have learned not to read things into internet posts and text messages as both can be a really shi@tty way to communicate and ripe for misunderstanding, if you know what I mean (!)).
If anyone's got a pic of John doin' that invert you were talking about, it would be cool to see.iTS ON ITS WAY...jUNE 87....RIOT IN TRUMPTONalso shows Mr Ellis doing a griz air just like the one in the photie.........
Dazcopy on the scanner and the scanner has just buggered on me, so trying to sort it all out now...Sids opowermower blunt, Stu Horner bs boneless, Ell's alleyoop turndowns which were the biznessI was there also.....and my bit is nearer the back of that issue.........
