Been watching Barry on a Grifter.....

[macky]

I LOVED every second of it!!!      

Forgotten just how RAD everyone was back then!!!

spotted myself a few times too!!   

Loved the 88 Tizer worlds footage... i remember a video doing the rounds years back...

it had all the ramp runs on it... love to know wot happened to that!!

This was Absolutely Brilliant!!! 

And Carlo's ramp run... 'that air'... I've waited years to watch that again!!! 



Please, somebody, some where in the Uk MUST have some more footage from these comps???

I think i remember 'On Yer Bike' selling videos of each Ukbfa contests!!

Hope to see a 'Barry on a Grifter 2' soon please!! 


 


Gonna watch it again tomorrow before i go riding!!

can you imagine anyone airing like that these days on a tiny 1/4 and a street beat with tuffs.

I was disappointed after watching 'Barry'. Sure, the mostly unseen comp footage was great. The carlo stuff is untouchable. It was all the other stuff that had been taken from other 90s bike vids that left me feeling short changed. It was like some kind of 'now thats what I call BMX' compilation, with small parts taken from really great videos. Just watch the whole videos! You dont listen to one verse from a classic Album

I sat & watched it again last week & I enjoyed the flat footage of Dolan, White & the last guy on there who's name escapes me

I showed that pic to a rider who was born in 1988... he was Gobsmacked!! 

he thought back then was all kick turns and front hops!!

Carlo was getting 13/14 feet way before 88 too, it looked even burlier when he got that high on his own vincent quarter as it was very thin.

6'4" but that was in about 84.

[macky]

At the 88 Tizer worlds, outdoors, I believe Carlo was getting 15ft airs!!

I wasnt there when they were outdoors, cant remember if that was the 1st or 2nd day!!

would have loved to have seen that!!

we got blitzed a few weeks back and watched 'barry'. what a great vid, lots of rad riding and laughs at jobbo's forks. all ross milne's vids are awesome, i like his style of videography.

hi denny, i don't suppose you have facilities to copy vhs or vhs to dvd and do me a copy of that.
i always wanted a copy of it. i think i might have watched it once round swanny's house. but he had borrowed it off roger atkins (mark's dad). but i think he returned it before copying it.
