WHEN DID I SEE EDDIE FIOLA
« on: March 01, 2006, 12:13 PM »
I think I am developing dementia, or alzeihmers - I can't remember which

I remember going to see Eddie Fiola on the flying banana GT in Manchester ( Stockport, more specifically I think ) in what must have been 84 or 85.

Can anybody help? Were any of you lot there?

Perhaps it was on June 5th  :daumenhoch:
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!'

if my drunken eyes are correct, i can see an eddie signature,god i wish it was 85 again - in my opinion bmx just ain't the same as bitd as it is these days, although it has progressed 100%

That isnt Eddies autograph but is infact a blatant forgery by that cheeker prankster and Southsea legend Vince Gregory, if Dave would be so kind to open said gem you'll see the reall deal signatures as collected by myself.

There must be a million real autographs of Eddies in the UK , I spent a couple of weeks with him and he was signing non stop when he was off his bike. :daumenhoch:

poster for the event in Eldon square , Newcastle.......

I was there , but numpties couldn't get the qauter-pipe in the hall, as the doors weren't big enough , so it was ground and stuff on the trick ramp ,still a great show then though.

Here's me (in the middle with the bad black/grey jumper) and Mr Fiola - sweet.
