Every midschooler has heard of Mike. He has a fairly long standing relationship with Standard Byke Co and is full of skills. I met him down at Southsea when I first started building ramps there back in about 96 ish. He's a very technical rider, and a bloody nice chap!

Just found this on Youtube - enjoy

I can never get bored of watching Mike O'Connell ride. He has such a great style. Probably my most favourite rider to watch on a mini ramp.
