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

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 :4_17_5:
A long time ago, in a land far away!

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.   :daumenhoch:

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.

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.

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! ;D ;D ;D

I honestly cannot remember!!!!Too many years ago :D
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?

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....

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  :(
