Dont worry I know how good your beat knowledge is, I wasn't sure if you would know what a stupple was as bill was doing em at first Holeshot before you were riding i think, i then recalled they did a bmx beat how-to with bill and said trick, a really nice o/s trick.

yeah, it was before my time. my 1984 bmx beat knowledge isn't too good as i only saw it for the first time about a year ago and only watched it a handful of times compared to the 1000's of times i've watched the others.

You have to upload your pics into Photobucket from your 'My Pictures',

and then copy the image code from Photobucket when its uploaded...

and paste it into your message board when you post a message...

you can preview your message before you post to make sure it works!!

Holy shit he only went and did a stupple in his ramp run!!!!!!!!!

OK, I'm gonna hope that this doesn't rank up there with the 'what's a looptail?' question, but what's a Stupple? I can remember hearing the phrase bitd but I can't remember what it refered to.

I'll try and upload footage of Billy doing 'The Stupple' on BMX Beat circa 84 (will be later 2nite when i get home). Will I have to pay royalties or seek permission off Billy though

wasn't it a rollback then pulling the bars 90 degrees and sliding the front end round 180 then riding out? $:-\$

Trev · « **Reply #37 on:** March 27, 2008, 01:49 PM »

close enough. roll back, turn the bars 90° take one hand and one foot off. back foot leans on the coaster brake, the bike then spins around 360° or more.

note: it was called a stupple cos apparently there was nothing else to call it...

pickle · « **Reply #38 on:** March 27, 2008, 01:50 PM »

yeah, they've got Billy showing you how to do it on my BMX Beat at home

lodge · « **Reply #39 on:** March 27, 2008, 01:56 PM »

I think they were intended to be 540 rotation, a coaster was best, i learn't them with a free-wheel using them frame stand fiola handle jobbys i used to put my heel on the handle as if i was applying a coaster.

''The Stupple'' BMX Beat 84

When it appears, reduce the size of the screen (the icon between minimize and close) the film quality is better

Who's next on your hit list Den?

And welcome Rich!

Here's a couple of scans from BMX Action from way back, February 84 at the KOS at Uplands on the classic Supergoose. I think I've got the bits to build that. Other than the Supergoose f&f...and about 100 tons of concrete for the background.......

Cherry Coke International BMX Beat 86 Winner.
Won it basically because he pulled two 540s in the final and was american.
In my opinion Pepi blew him away on flat and was maybe level on ramps. If Rich did beat Pepi on ramps it wouldn't have been by as many points as what Pepi should have beaten him on flat.
That was back when the UKBFA were desperately trying to get American riders over here to compete and when they did come over, they always seemed to be biased towards them. Rich Sigur was a great rider, but he didn't come close to Pepi.
When RonW and DMC came over (and of course Hoffman), then yes, I agree they deserved to win. But I'm sure I remember Josh White placing really high in Pro Flat one year.
I think one comp, RonW came first in Pro and Josh White came second. Eddie Roman won Masterclass and Scott Freeman won flat for his age group.

Probably my biggest regret in life is breaking my scaphoid bone in my left wrist the night before that contest during ramp practice. If I just hadn't gone for that Death Plant....
I had soooo many new tricks for that comp - after making an arse of it in the previous Bmx Beat, I was out to win that one.
And I let my team down to, which was a shame, 'cos we would have won......maybe!

Welcome to the site Rich, wish I could've ridden with you that day.....

Gary Forsyth

Yes..... I still have the program.....!

That was the quickest half an hour of scanning, uploading to Photobucket and posting I think I've ever done!
