Walking around Cycle '08 yesterday and a familier face looms into view, so not being one to miss the opportunity I managed to bag a piccy with him.

OK, I will try again.

BSDforever (aka Grant), bumped into Tim.
BSD took a photo of him and Tim, much like Zippys one.
BSD photoshoped the photo and posted it up on his website
Tim saw the photo and wasnt that happy.
I think I have the photo somewhere but I wont be posting it up.


...clear?

Last time I saw him was in 1983 and he's changed a bit since then..he's a lot hairier  :LolLolLolLol:  Unlike me, I'm as youthful looking as ever.

Anyone got a pic of him in the early 80s?

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




One build a year, the only way to get it right. No rushing involved.

Its Tim March, first 16+ national champ, rode for ammaco/mongoose in 1980/81. He went on to create MRD, started making numnber plates then onto full frame/forks.
He was a rad fekker as well, I remember a pic of him riding a pool and getting 8-10 foot airs.
He now works for ride mag if i remember rightly :daumenhoch:

He did work for Ride but he left about a year ago, he likes to play by his own rules

He was rad, a great racer, but I dont think he ever did 10 foot airs. There were some pics of him doing big jumps out of bowls, one was at Slades, but not airs.  :-\

Alright, alright, that jump had some air in it  ::)

I went there when I was skatebording a lot in 89 and carved around that bowl. It was rough rock and rolling that bowl, let alone blasting out of it on a bike.
