Old School Pictures - Mainly North East BMX Racing
« on: February 02, 2009, 11:51 AM »
First the disclaimer...

My dad didn't have a very good camera, he wasn't a good photographer and he didn't take many pictures.

So this is it - everything I have from BITD broken down into Teesside Airport, Herlingshaw Indoor Racing, other North East tracks, My Randoms.

If you spot yourself, let me know.

 :)

Teeside Airport

Me jumping the doubles at Teesside.

Well, despite the not quite David Bailey standard shots your old man still managed to capture some great shots..Marchy flying out front, the Ammaco Mongoose Team chilling,Pete Middleton, one or two of the Jarvis clan and one of the Llewellyn brothers...
Think the guy sat on the Ammaco van in Raleigh pants & Nikes is Brad Smith.

Thanks for posting those  :daumenhoch:

Could be the first track - I just can't remember going anywhere but the North East - apart from Three Sisters once.

The picture feels like a national - 10s age class.

Excellent pics Alistair!!!

Some great memories. I remember the airport was buzzing the national weekends. Especially when the US CW team turned up, Pistol Pete Loncaravic & co.

Them ones of you and Marc take me back. Think I remember you two racing up a year at southbank one club meeting, and both beating me  ;)

Yep, that's me at Magra on my MCS Magnum 2000 - still got the frame, box cranks, Hutch cages and Pro-tec Eliminator II helmet in the garage 8)

Nice one!

You always had some tasty bikes.

Shame my dads pictures are better of everyone else than me!

See you soon on the gate.
