He also bought a Ford Anglia off my sister for about the same kind of money. And I think it got scrapped, like the Moggy, soon after. Old cars, ay!

Gerry, super cool guy. Always remember him properly flying Chingford or Crouch Hill vert when they were still there.. Once at Crouch I can't remember if he had a puncture or something? Something weird, but he had Borrowed an old really crap mountainbike of a passer by or something? I can't remember it all, I just remember he rode the ramp on it smoothly with flying it the same as a Bmx! I know nobody will ever see someone ride something that way again. More than tons of respect from Me, Linton, R.I.P Pat, John Dye, Doug and anyone else that's really seen him ride.. Wish I saw so much more of it!!! I hope he is doing well and still flying??

Was the crouch hill vert on the old railway with a mini ramp tagged onto the back of it?? If it is I'd have loved to have seen Gerry there as we used to ride there(mostly mini) and gatecrash my nans in Muswell hill after. Happy days

Could anyone pump a vert better than Gerry? Saw him at some Radlands jams, Hastings+Koc. Even when some of the big name Americans came over he was never in their shadows!

Nice to see this thread resurrected.

I bumped into Jerry at Corby one day a couple of years ago - I believe he'd travelled up to see Zach shaw - he borrowed my mates bike and rode that big vert ramp like he'd never been off a bike, although I'm sure he'd had quite a long time out of the saddle at that point.

Would love to see him ride again.

Not a riding pic, but this one is from around 200-2001 when Jerry was taking me around showing me some of his local spots. On the way home from these trails he was rolling up on the steering wheel, doing 90mph in his mk1 golf. It was madness!

....So I have an an epilogue to my earlier story.

MK 2015 and on the Saturday I see a bloke walk past across the way from the ramps. I turned to my mate and said "that fella looks just like Jerry".

A couple of hours later he came over to me and sure enough it was Jerry. He had lost some weight and he looked brilliant. He was very chatty and generally on good form. We then sat down under my tiny so-called gazebo and along with Alex, Ed and a couple of others and we spent the night putting the bmx world straight lol. We exchanged some gossip and told some tales. A great night.

During the course of that evening, I spoke to Jerry about that day back in 94 when I had thrown him out of my barn. I was able to put my side across and properly, correctly apologise to him.

Only took 22 years and he didn't even bloody remember it...

Sounds like a proper dude.

Hi Guys, first post here as I only recently got back into BMX after 25 years or so....

I got back into it by searching for old friends and finding a load of footage of Gerry on youtube!!

The tales I have of Gerry are too numerous and go wayyyy back. We met at Rom which was my local park from about 1984 to 1991.

We used to go to his mum and dad's house in High Wycombe and sleep on his bedroom floor. I was just a kid then hanging out with Ryan Evans (I see some photos of the two of them in another thread) and a friend of mine called Simon Parker. He had a quarter pipe at the end of a shared drive behind his house. There was another guy, local friend of Gerry's but I forget his name... We set the ramp up then Gerry ripped it up. Must have been all of six feet wide and he'd get 8" out. This was back in about 87....

Gerry was a top guy precisely because he was brought up well, to respect people.

Once my dad came home and Gerry was sitting on his bike in the middle of the road outside my house. We were all teenagers wth attitude so nobody really did the polite introductions stuff. Oh no, Gerry was straight in their. Shook hands, introduced himself, smiled the whole thing. Just naturally. My dad commented on it afterwards "he seemed like a nice guy". My dad was a puritan deacon, just to put that in context!

I'll post some more if people are interested.... Some anecdotes might include bikes, cars, trips and blood too!

Cheers

Welcome to

Andi

If you want to share anecdotes then this thread would probably be an ideal place to do it

Clint Oldschoolace is compiling a bunch of these so any recollections/photos from BITD would be most welcome

Welcome Anti

Rom was my local up until 84..... I took a short break (10 years) and came back to riding in 94 so I was lucky to see Jerry riding quite bit at various places - always a treat.

Please feel free to share your tales, I've told all my stories already
