Hello Paul + any AQLs, I bumped into Mike HIll last night he told me about some old school pics on here, so I've signed up. Used to ride up Ayton with you in 93 time with Oshy, Dan Gall, Cliff etc. Nick Ol, Riko, Daz Sted, Dave Kayborn, Ginga Bobby, Statty to name a few used to come over and ride too. Mike and Ste N kieth showed up later bout 94ish I think. I've missed out loads of names no doubt, sorry to you - I can see the faces but not the names. Newcastle crew showed up loads too, Andy, Dave(big n little)Jay etc.Mmm, I've got some pics for you, will post em in a while...

I'm liking all the old pics of Dan buy the way- I'm sure Dan could ride that place blind, Ayton is fast and harsh to those who take a slam but Dan rode slow as hell and never slamed that I know of,, me on the other hand hit that glass like sand loads of times

Its true the surface can be a bit harsh. Over time the old smooth "orange" surface seems to have washed/worn away (as early pics to modern pics in this thread shows). Maybe the surface is one of the things the AQL's will try to improve over the winter.Dan was/is one of the lucky ones who never seemed to have to put much effort into gaining distance/height when jumping. Unlike me in the 80's who needed a good downhill run-up, then going flat-out just to even get off the ground

Is it the DPI of the scan (I scan at 1200 DPI) or is it people scanning multiple photos in one go?

Is it the DPI of the scan (I scan at 1200 DPI) or is it people scanning multiple photos in one go?I scaned in at about 300dpi but I edited them in photoshop to 300 or 400 px wide at 72 dpi as they were only for viewing of my own website & not for printing. I might try look up tomorrow, but I'm mister family man on the weekends for now, haha, got two kids one is almost 3yrs the other is 1yrs. The oldest already has a GT bmx and can pedel it round .
