Title: Another BMXer gone - Philippe Peirera RIP
Post by: Flatcap on May 05, 2011, 02:00 PM

Not many will remember him but he was a top rider in his day, up there with the best in the late 80's.

Watch the videos, sad loss.

Totally agree, he was an excellent rider....not many people were pulling 'nothings' on vert back then and the black and white picture of him is well over 10' and wouldn't look out of place on a vert ramp now.

Daz.
