Fred Blood
I thought seeing as I've done a 'best rider' it was only fair to do a worst rider. Same rules apply, worst rider in your opinion who did get full sponsorship.No particular order.Scotty Cameron ($30K a year at 15 for doing some basic flat land tricks )Dizz Hicks - Great character and super cool guy but was he actually any good? It's all fun lads.Daz.
neville potts.

Dunno if it was co-incidence, but everytime I used to watch that Billy Stupple bloke ride he just used to hang up. Proper rubbish he was.

Dizz Hicks was "smoooth as butta baby!" an awesome rider IMO, as far as entertainment, execution and delivery is concerned he was up there with the big boys
sponsorship is sponsorship. clothes or not.a big box of clothes could easily equal the value of a frame back then. lets face it, i doubt anyone in the uk received a wage to ride a bike unless they done shows or something for it. (after the campbell/ruffell era) and i bet even dudes riding for gt or skyway still travelled to comps in the back of the van.
