Andy, don't you have any pics from when you came to Rom?

Many moons ago, you may or may not remember we did cross over airs in the performance bowl a la Wilkerson and Blyther.
Think you were there with your brother?

I did go to Rom with my brother twice.  I only have one picture of my brother from my trips there, none of me.  Do you have any of the doubles air of of me at Rom?

Most people now seem to do them opposite, I wonder if that's why.

I started learning them opposite yesterday, got the bars to about 160 degrees. Shame I didn't try them opposite 20 odd years ago, I might have them by now.

Couldn't agree with Steve more Stumpy, I said the first lot were cool but that first pic of the second lot you posted (above the MD pic) is even better. Awesome style fella!

The only things that scares me though is no helmet, no pads at all and shorts in a concrete bowl......but we were indestructible back then weren't we - or so we thought  ::)

Not sure. i wonder if it something to do with the way n/s riders carve there airs as i remember lookbacks being
easier if you allyooped a bit.

Not as clicked as stumpy's and not rom but lookback relevant.

Cool pic Steve, I found it eaiser when alleyoop'd. Also rolling cranks back a bit helped to get hung out to the side.

It was the same with turn downs, I always thought they were easier if you alleyoop'd them as well, you could get more clicked/further round.

That last pic of the drop ins....the bloke w/ the ? mark, is that Paul Wright????, looks like him and I heard he used to ride w/ you lot back in the early day and was a bit of a ripper.

Wicked air over the hip Dan, lovin that. An Bill, the one of Marco in the same spot, but going the other way, thats a mad line, lovin it. Like Damon said, you guys were the inspiration for me back in the day, made me give up racing, spent every weekend at Rom, plus some evenings, funny how riding home from school always took a detour down upper Rainham Road :daumenhoch:

There is some superb pics and memories in this thread, well done guys. An Stumpy, sort yourself out mate and get riding again. I have spent 2 years trying to convince SBD to ride again and all I managed to get out of him was a lap of Daggers :buck2:
