If you were there, what do you remember?
Were you a rider?
A fan?
Innocent bystander?

Post up your memories and pictures, magazine shots, whatever......

This should be fun!

I think I was there

I think that was the year an older friend with a car decided last minute to go, so off we set sitting in the back with a bottle of cider, by the time we got there I was pished & can remember talking to glyn lewis about girls asses, & have a vague recollection about somebody having a t shirt with the slogan "rent boy £1 50 a go" that's about it

Too many memories to mention but the ones that stick in my head are:

Seeing Hoffman ride for the first time.
Hoffman telling me my bars were bent (he's bike was hardly dialled in

)
Having my 15th birthday during the week of the event and peeps buying me beers.
University Digs
Hoffmam shattering tuff 2's like it was nowt.
Greg Guillotte doing a ramp run on about six different bikes.
My rear wheel locking up mid flatland run.

I could go on forever it was a crazy week and I'm gratefull to have been involved.

I dont have many pics but heres a few I found.

Roy Winfield and Gill Smith

We went to our local event, Granby Halls in Leicester, during the dinner break we took Hoffman, Pepi winder and a few others up to the crown courts to ride the banks, when we got back the organisers were going mad as there star performers had gone awol

'87 was the Tour - Woking, Maidenhead, Gloucester, Birmingham, Leicester, Manchester and finals in Carlisle.
'88, which was one venue, was the Armitage Centre in Manchester.

There were two events at woking, 1st one was a BFA National which was a warm up for the Worlds, which then started at Woking.

Guillotte · « **Reply #13 on:** April 29, 2009, 06:35 AM »

Yep, I was there, riding flatland.. beaten by Gary Neale, who was his usual smooth and technical self..
I remember the whole thing like it was yesterday though... Hoffman's Jammin' Salmon's and Andy Browns Decade Air attempt..

Zippy · « **Reply #22 on:** August 28, 2009, 10:14 PM »

Me and my mate went to the Gloucester round in 87.

Saw Mat Hoffman there but he didn't ride.

Some guy called Greg was pretty awesome as well.

His timing was awesome and managed to hit a huge air right on que in practice and in the event itself.
