Help...pics of Tony Murray needed

[andy619]

Tony Murray has lost or misplaced all of his pictures, trophies and other old riding memorabilia that he had.  I am going to try to put together a photo album for him at least, I can't do anything about his trophies etc.  His birthday is in a week and a half so I haven't got much time.  So what have you got, any magazine scans or pics would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,

Andy

Hi, I think I have the pictures of Murray you wanted if its the ones below.

I loved Murrays bike as it was right then, more or less the basis for how I ended up putting my rickman together at first.
(Shame about the 'colouring in', who thought I would still be reading this over 20 years later?)

Then I saw the picture of Nouris green Haro and was hooked, before long my Rickman was green with matching Haro tyres :-)

Hi Andy - I'll have a look through my magazines this week and see what I can come up with. They''ll need to be scans, and only A4 ones at that, but I'll see what I've got and post them on here, or pm you with them or something!

Cheers guys.  Here is the only old school pic that I have of Tony.

Del Mar 1985

[bmxer4ever]

First thing I pcked up was this - SHREDDIN' - a paper 'zine/mag from 1985 (for some reason I have two copies of this - issue #1 - but no idea where I got them!). Put together by Bill Batchelor, Kevin Foss and Mike Daily. Pics ain't great as it's 22 year old paper, but it's not bad for it's age really!



Upland King of the Skateparks




AFA 1985 round 2...




And this was a full page advert near the back... Your name's in there too Andy!


Off work with a bad case of Flu after partying hard at T in the Park for 4 days, so may have some time to find more....!

Most of these are blow ups from small b&w's from 20+ year old Bmx Plus! mags, so they're not that great quality, but all I've found so far... All the best full page colour shots would have been ripped out and put on my wall, so there's little chance of those surfacing again!

















One hand table....


And Radical Rick's version...










That's all for now. Hope it helps...

[bmxer4ever]

He certainly won't want to miss this one! On the cover of the mighty BMXA!




This would be a good pic for the birthday cake..??!

If you wanna use it, I'll re-scan it and try and clean it up for ya. Let me know.
