[MartyC]

Cool pics Darren, thanks for posting them up Beard 

I was going to say Povah without his anorack at Southsea but someone beat me to it  .

I vaguely remember the twin top tube frame John rode for a while and am pretty sure it was the same as a Haro Master geometry wise.

So when is the the big curry get together with Lee & Pete?  I might be back in the UK in early July so if the timing is right I'd like to come along

Great pics, I wonder if they ever tried any of that on a tuff burner??

Love to the 2 lads on the left of this photo that are freestyling without bikes!

[Ramp Rat]

yeah! These are great - Oh how young we looked  back then! Paul Zak - wicked bloke! Yeah - Jason is gifted! Bike, Skateboard, Motocross, Surfboard, High Diving - give him 6 months and he'll be at the top of the game.

That whole family were RAD...THE LUNNS


still rad today!

Damon, I've seen it before but I love that new pic of Lunny doing that one hand one footer, it's exactly the same as his one from the Chingford Jam 25 years ago, carbon copy. Proper extended!!

I've mentioned it before about having a bit of a run-in with him at Southsea when he kept nicking mine and other people's run/turn but I am assured he's a nice kid and I hope to one day confirm that myself. However, I've gotta say, definitely one of THE most naturally talented riders ever.

Daz.

Who remembers the BMX Action Bike issue where Jason Lunn was "ripping the lino"? He was doing boomerangs(looked more like handstands) in the kitchen on white Raleighs--without Potts mod or gyros/spinners/rotors. Lunn was really cool.
