Thought youd enjoy a couple of scans from my knackered issue 1 of Ride - I just found it again!
Rob Ridge on a Mongoose Hooligan


Tim Ruck's TRUCK Wheel conversion - Harris, you should do a set of these for your wheel collection!


I wish I could travel back in time to buy from the Deals page


and from cyclesort! MRD's! Im mailing this to my mate Dan who runs their mail order today - he's v intrigued to see it!

[kev-s]

i remember that issue as i had just started riding and that was the first bmx mag i ever bought, give me a time machine so i can go back and buy a load of super pros

[se-bmxer]

so who is going to phone some of the folks selling bikes in the for sale section, just in case   

[christhejob]

nearly every message in that ad section is a prank from Si Locke.........

RARA indeed!!

[laughinggravy]

Check out those Blast pegs, threaded for tuffs/coaster one end and spokes t'other. Proof, if needed, George didn't have the jump on ALL the best part ideas, ha ha!

I'm really confused though, Alan's aren't listed in the dealers? And they've been doing BMX since '81, haven't they? Haven't they?

Alans BMX have been going 25 years .... Ive seen it on their stickers! I wonder when they will bring out the "25 years of Alans Records" stickers, or will they change its name to "Alans CDs"?

[generallee]

did alans stop doing bmx for a while then in the 'dead' period..?
And Tim, do you still own any Truck whels? Id love to see a shot of them on here!

No, no, no, no, no! They had a Torker behind the counter of Alans Records! That makes it a BMX shop dont it?

Is that cover shot taken from 'Ride On'?  I can't remember the name of the bloke riding the bike, but I'm sure he made the forks and spider for that bike

Chad Herrington.

[generallee]

Yeah, Chad Herrington - used to do tons of variations, mostly on a 'step up' jump -  when he came over for a Backyard Jam, he couldnt ride the rythm... too much of an older chool jumper.. people really bagged on him after that, but i still think he's rad!
And Gary, you are listed in the contents page of this very mag as one of the main contributors to the magazine!!!

What? You mean Alan has had a skate shop running for 25 years as well? Man, he must be busy, running AlansBMX/AlansSkates/AlansRecords, all for 25 years

Hmmmm......I wonder what that was for.
I'd done a few write ups and photos for 'em over the years, but can't remember if i did anything for this issue. Must look that one out and find out!
