Cheers dude.... like all of us here I just wish I could go back to those days when life was good

   .... that tiny 1/4 seemed fookin massive to me back then    ... it was at Ardwick Sports Hall in Manchester sometime in 85. Fiola did a show there with GT and sometime later the Skyway team came over did a demo there. I managed to get my Skyway shirt signed by the likes of Neil Ruffel, Craig Campbell, Hugo Gonzales and Maurice Meyer etc. Still have it to this day 

The jump into the local Bridgewater canal was sometime around the summer of 83.... was a grin for sure

Nice pics and bike matey... Big respect!!!!

[Redline]

Cheers for the nice comments guys... don't know about bein a "bad ass" though... I guess I was reasonably good back in the day but compared to the stuff dudes do now on their bikes it all looks a bit tame! 

Don't get me wrong, I have pure respect for the stuff they pull off nowadays... but for me seeing a really stylish cross-up, turndown or lookback from the old days still gets me more stoked than the acrobatics they do nowadays! 

Maybe I'm stuck in an early eighties timewarp but it's Old School all the way for me

Hey dude.... the footplant pic was taken at Walton Park Sports Centre in Sale, Cheshire... 1984 me thinks!

Would be bizarre if ya knew the place? A guy called Neil Hargreaves, who owned a BMX shop in Altrincham called "American Connection" used to hire out the 5 a side football
courts at Walton Park every Sunday and drag out a quarterpipe and trick ramp for a handfull of us local riders!
