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?

Yeah I was there doing the demo with Andy Preston before fiola and Breed did their stuff . Good old days eh.

We did all the UK shows and Flew over to put a few shows on for the Irish kids .

Dave........where did you get such a rare peice of memorabilia?

Only someone who could have been there would have had that!!! bet it aint autographed

ftobmx · « **Reply #11 on:** March 01, 2006, 11:10 PM »

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.

andy irwin · « **Reply #17 on:** March 01, 2006, 11:35 PM »

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.
