King of Vert Mansfield

the pic at mansfield is definitely mick hudson! i have a pic of it in 20 from a very similar angle, and it's mick.  not sure if jason ellis rode at mansfield KOV.
james hudson won the first round in portsmouth.  he got such a slagging off mark noble in invert it made me want to be sick.  i think noble decided scott carroll won that day, and because he didn't he went balls out slagging james.
then his invert write-up about mansfield slagged bessie off for pointing at the platform after his 900.  because tabron didn't win
were, coincidentally, simon and scott riding for the teamextreme "spin back the pedal" invert half-pipe club run by mark's dad at the time?? ehhhh?

Awesome mate....thanks for that....that pic of John rules for the time!

That pic of Ell doing the fast plant thing was at the poxy skatepark bank just down the rode from their house, that's where Stu got his pic took.

Love that pic of Dino doing his freeky decade right at the bottom, I bet Dino hasn't seen that pic in 20 years so I'll have to send it to him.

Great stuff mate....I wish I'd have kept that copy.

It was a great day!

These are great pics, reminded me that I have a load of footage which I filmed on sony 8mm that day but dont currently have anyway of playing it or transfering it over....another Job for new year I suppose...

i 'm always transfering 8mm and hi -8 tapes to digital if that's any use to you. i  just link the 8mm camcorder to the mini dv (must have dv in) camcorder, record and upload to the pc- for editing ,straight off uploading to youtube ,etc or just copy it to dvd via dvd recorder. if you don't wanna shell out for  spec camcorders send me the tapes and i'll do it for you. have to send secure post as i know how priceless the old footage is.

forgot to mention how awesome the pics are. i've got some footage from this day filmed from the balcony so maybe youtube it soon. james hudsun did ride this day as his run is on the tape i have. got simon ,scott carroll and jason davies final runs from portsmouth ukkov and also some of the ukkov from shepton mallett. james hudsun with the backwards (facing) drop in. scary stuff.

Hey Dan, I didnt ride at this meet as I was still pretty fkd up from a bad crash I'd had a couple of weeks before on my first ever Stateside trip. I rode a few comps at Mansfield over the years maybe you saw some pics from them???

Nah...you're right mate....we've not met. You never know though so it's always worth asking.

Spent many an hour at Castle Hudson, it'd be nice to get back in touch with Ell and John. Does the family still live in the same house, I expect most of the kids have moved on but does their Mam and Dad still live there?

Sorry to hijack the thread Gary, PM me if you want Jamie.
