Yeah I knew that. Took me a while but I remembered the Max top. He got his GT the same week as me, but he had Tuffs on it originally.

Nice nips Russel B

The missus is trying to remember the girls name, will update the post later

Longun · « **Reply #120 on:** February 01, 2008, 11:15 PM »

That's Louise Restall.

Anyone remember anything else about the freestyle demo (I don't think it was a comp) at Canary Wharf? I can remember climbing up a billboard to get that shot but can't think what the event was.
Anyone id the riders in it? I think (L to R) Chris Young, Jess Dyrenforth, Jason Lunn, Craig Campbell, ?? - but that it just a guess.

munners · « **Reply #121 on:** February 01, 2008, 11:17 PM »

I think it was the world record for the most people "droping in" at the same time.

Surbiton was a great track really fast I remember the UK R9 Regional there in 85 was a great days racing ! I ended up 3rd

in the final to Zottle and Restall came in to the first corner in 7th came out in 3rd my kind of racing !!! and I always remembered the half pipe watching the Jason Lunn on there although I did sneek a go from memory it was on the other side of the field !! , Nathan was a super smooth rider BITD

They had the water jump in the pro section last straight ? if I remember rightly ?
