whatever happened to him 

[billstup]

It`s a long story................ but at the moment I belive he`s living at his parents house in Sydenham 

[RATTY]

I met up with  him last year, he had a couple of races with us, still a great bloke, but as Bill says he has had some unsettled times.
He lost his dad recently as well, lets hope he gets his life straightened out soon

Think it was Hayes and Andover, he bought a Freeagent 24" off
Chris Davey.

He loved a jump to flat didn't he?  He jumped my car a few times when I demo'd with him. Longways, off that kickturn ramp to flat.

Good vid on youtube of him jumping several cars BITD. Classic.

Chris had style for miles on a track too, first year he raced he got national no.1 easily, then they changed the age group ruling which dumped him in with Craig Scofield, Jason Maloney, Darren Stock & Tony Holland where he struggled a bit & then got into freestyle & was very gifted.

[trill]

i remember him at gillingham once jumping out of the snake bowl he must have gone at least 12ft then  bailed onto the pebbles,done it about 7-8 times.

[DR VINOAH]

[mr hoppy]

good to see he is still about , i remember watching him at a skyway demo with andy patterson at the poole panthers track bitd he was easy as good as any of the yanks 

[Ramp Rat]

This is great - love the old pics (hip hanger style) and the new racing ones. I remember seeing the Skyway team at Chatam race track - Billy, Craig, Rock Hudson and Chris. I knew freestyle was in my future after seeing that demo. Good to see him racing and having a good laugh again. Makes me want to get a race bike and hack round a track again.

Hurt myself a few times on that poxy ramp 

[skids]

I remember watching him at Betts park in Crystal Palace[about 82ish]
doing 540 nose picks on the yellow humps,way way ahead of it's time!!!!!
then we rode to some place around Gypsy Hill, and he done a Demo,jumping a car!
The guy was awesome.Best of luck to him[Its always horrible to hear of anyone going through a rough patch]
BTW.....I see Rob Bell in the first photo[used to ride with him in Tooting!
......Skids

[TwoBobRob]

If it was a red or green cavalier, they were my cars!!

[skids]

I honestly cannot remember!!!!Too many years ago
but I do remember it being in like a residental carpark area[gravely surface]
There was a halfpipe and a kickturn ramp.
I do remember he had a set of real long pegs on his bike,that were home made.
I think he was riding a TA?
.........Skids

[TwoBobRob]

Aah, that'll be after my time then. I never demo'd with Chris with a halfpipe, it was always the Skyliners towable 1/4 pipe and a kickturn ramp.  We did ride on some shady sufaces though....

[CD17]

Chris & Rob got there Haro's towards the end of 84, so it could have been 84.

Does anyone know what happened to Rob Bell, Iv got his old Haro + would love to meet him again, haven't seen him in 23ish years
