Pleasure looking at them pics  :daumenhoch: always remember darren woods in the first kellogs series when he stacks and gets his head bashed,sitting in the ambulance being interviewed sounding like he'd took a right hander off of mike tyson  :)

Flemo, check out the number 27 behind Woody from Lowestoft, me on my orange GHP!

But, check out Darren banging bars with JMC's own Carl Butler at...slagharen World champs?

Check out the chubby little Jamie Staff on the SE team!!!

Darren we salute you!

Has he got any of the Skyway freestyle team Flem, we did demos at quite a few nationals, and we were sort of team mates at the time  :daumenhoch:

Nice one Flemdawg  :daumenhoch:

Most of my old riding mates are in this pic sadly not me  :(



Nice jumper Lee Shurey, David Landy in his MA2 (he was still wearing that aged 21!), a very young looking Lee Alexander, Tony Brennan looking old but young  :LolLolLolLol:

Love the pic of the original Meanwhile Gardens and there are some class pics of the old Hayes track there  :daumenhoch:

Pretty sure the guy watching Darren in the halfpipe is Boyd Walker.

It's hard keeping up with Rad and BMXTalk posts on this subject  :LolLolLolLol:

It does look like Boyd Walker for sure  :daumenhoch:
