Really nice guy, he was down at Bournemouth BMX track last month when my son was racing there and agreed to have a photo with my bike,

The guy is a man mountain, made the bike look tiny. ;D ;D

Tims a cool guy, well right up to the time he sees` that pic again  :crazy2:
I see you stand like greyhounds in the slips,
 Straining upon the start. The game's afoot:
 Follow your spirit, and upon this charge
 Cry 'God for Harry, England, and Saint George!'

Met Tim a couple of times over the years at nationals ( he was a big lumb then ) and when he did this bmx day somewhere near Brighton that was televised on TVS wheelie comp and bunny hop contest (fook that was a long time ago) most memorable was at Tran Am in New Milton age 14 picked up my MRD Pro Long Frame forks and bars cant remember why he was there he signed my MRD race shirt though, best race frame i ever had , hung on the garage wall for over 20 years .....then my mum delivered it to the tip one day while having a clearout.....we're still not speakin  :'(  :knuppel2:

Tim's 6' 5", one of my bezzy mates to this day, very passionate about bmx, couldnt give a damn about what anyone thinks of him or his views & also still does a lot for bmx especially at grass roots level.

Did do some big one handed flat tabletops for a very early edition of OBMX in 1981 but wasnt known as a jumper later on (but could jump).

Prob the most succesfull bmx racer of the early days (from the UK) & the most well known.

Would be the ideal person to run a full season long no-clips series!!!   8)

haha those captions are well funny ;D

i'm sure tim can laugh about it now :daumenhoch: not sure he can laugh about the winkle out picture  :LolLolLolLol:

i always prefered ruffel (as he was well good at freestyle as well and was the first person i saw 360 a set of doubles), but the big personality rivalry was thing was good  :)

Tim turned up at Southsea (skatepark) with his kids a couple of years ago
before i started racing again, he was ripping up the bowls on a skateboard,
my boss who knows him from from both being involved with Ride mag
introduced me  and i was like i know who he is from 20 odd years ago.
