Some amazing pics there.

Stumpy was mental last year at Rom jam. I was sitting next to him on the bank as the highest air comp started. He was telling me the last time he rode there was about 18 years ago. Anyway, we started watching the comp and this bloke started to air it. I said to Stumpy, that guy looks like you. I looked round and he had gone and had entered the comp and I hadn't even realised he went.

Any pics Daz?

I haven't mate no.....I've barely got any photos left of me from bitd. I've got a couple of me a Dave Slade at Southsea and some really early ones from Newquay and the Ford Road Shows and that's about it. Some lost at my Mams, loads destroyed in a fire, I'm trying to dig some up from old mates but with little success. I had a message from James Hudson a little while back saying he was gonna dig a load out so they might be some from riding at his place but I'm guessing. I had some good ones from one of the early comps at Alfreton that my brother took but god knows where they are as me and my Bro aren't exactly close.

The days before digital I'm afraid, now you just back everything up and "hey presto". Negatives aren't as easy to save!

By the way...that pic of Lee Hook R.I.P. is one of my all time favourite pics from Rom. My other, which I've not seen since the 80's was a pic off Jess D (I think it was JD) doing a massive bone air in the P Bowl and his back wheel is nearly touching the green lamp post behind the bowl. Love to see that again.

Keep the Performance Bowl pics coming fellas....great pics!

Daz.

Loving the wet tyre marks, it was never emptied bitd as well.

Sean 2000 · « **Reply #65 on:** May 16, 2008, 08:56 PM »

Not me but a good friend of mine from bitd, Billy Chaplin from Dalston, East London.

And Billy's mate Simon.

And ive found one of me doing a footplant type of thing (note the AZ tee) (dont note the moody shorts)

I fookin love RoM pics, i can almost smell the pot noodles.
I can feel the sun on my back whilst ridin back to Romford station on those awesome summer............................................... ya know!

Sean.

Flatcap · « **Reply #66 on:** May 16, 2008, 09:02 PM »

Fook me Sean...Billy Chaplin could get some air couldn't he mate!

Sean 2000 · « **Reply #67 on:** May 16, 2008, 09:54 PM »

Yeh mate he could, he was one rad mofo indeed.

I have not seen him since i started riding again, i would like to get him back on a bike but its unlikely. He leads a different life to most of us, he has to dissapear sharpish sometimes........if ya know what i mean

He's like the scarlet pimpenel..........Mr Elusive!

He once beat one of the local pro's at an improvised height comp, (i remember 9ft being mentioned) but for the life of me i can't remember who

Hope to see ya soon Daz

I'll be down soon dude...

It does tickle me though that he's wearing elbow pads but no fooking helmet! Obviously your elbows are much more important than your head. We've all done it though back them, wouldn't dream of doing it now!

Quality pics then, I love that pic of Lee Hook too, some height there too.

Sean 2000 · « **Reply #69 on:** May 16, 2008, 10:23 PM »

Yeh i had the pleasure of riding with Lee a good few times. We lived about 5 miles from each other so we used to bump into each other at various riding spots
In fact i was probably there when that pic was taken cos thats two of my other old pals in the background (Sean and Dave) sitting there in awe!

He had a very individual style did Lee, arms out in a "chicken style" i used to call it

He was a good lad, sadly missed.

Try and keep the last couple of saturdays in July (1 or the other) free in your diary mate.

All will be revealed at a later date?
