Great set of pics, really bring it all back.
Caught the tour when it came to Maidenhead leisure centre with my mate chopsy. Remember queueing up for the signed poster (only dug that out last month) and asking Eddie for a go on his bike, amazingly he said yes, so I jumped on and pulled a few front hops. It felt so wierd, so different from my Haro and it squeeked like hell, anyway I felt 10ft tall and will never forget that show.
Wonder if its the same bike as in your photos? looks like i remember it.
 did he use the same frame for the whole UK leg of the tour?


 :shocked:  are you saying you have a 85 world tour poster ????????

To be honest I dont remember that demo at all. I did every show on that tour so one demo was much like another.   We did get to go to Livi for a play but the place was deserted so it went unrecorded. I cant recall  where all the demo's were because there were so many. I went from show to show non stop with Torker and then GT . The only one I do remember was Harrow , that was a great demo with a great skatepark. Matt Bains was going off in the halfpipe. Anyway nice pics. Dave Breed was the nicest person you could ever meet.


  I WAS THERE  :D

So was I! The skatepark session was much more fun than the bit in the leisure centre.

not quite, but for some reason he didnt go very high, and, beleive it or not, I was going higher (maybe 4 - 5'). The end of the show the crowd was chanting my name not his....which was ace, and looking back almost unbelievable

and for those of you who new me back then 'air' was not my big thing.......so thats how it was strange
