BSD asked about these pics on a thread about Greg Guillotte in the Video section.
I scanned them in but they are so good, I thought they were worth a thread of their own!!!!

That lad was way ahead of his time! I never understood why he never made a bigger impact.

Lazarou · « **Reply #4 on:** October 17, 2007, 01:57 PM »

....and the title of this thread is completely true!

SaMAlex · « **Reply #5 on:** October 17, 2007, 02:01 PM »

I've just noticed that the bike has got a front caliper on ... just no cable or lever!
You'd think you'd take that off too, right?

That is sooooo 90s! haha.

Greg totally ripped!!!! I remember him riding like that on a Haro Sport which had the seat post tube torn away from the frame stand area just rattling around. Most people I know would have stopped at that point......he just blasted huge 8' plus airs

He wrecked his Sport at an Alfreton comp once, you might be talking about the same bike. He mangled the back wheel so bad it rubbed the stays, and I think that damn plate had broke, too. I checked the bike out, it was a bit like the Blues Brothers' car.
Some brave soul loaned him their bike so he could carry on riding...
All his bikes must've been like this, remember the pic of him doing a Ceiling Fan in RAD? There was a bolt through the deattube of his rather stressed StreetBeat.

Greg and Steve Bisseker would've been some double-act, they both rode completely wrecked bikes better than most people could ride pristine ones.

i always remember a comp where Greg wrecked his bike on an air. Got on a mates bike, completely different bike, completely different setup, and his first air was about 8ft. no warm ups on this. he then went on to trash this bike on a slam and rode a third completely different bike and still continued to rip. he is probably the only person i know who could air big on anyones bike. i also remember him airing 8/9 ft airs at southsea in gale force winds...

I remember seeing this guy rip it big time at the tizer comp at Gloucester leisure centre. Mat Hoffman was there too, they were both awesome beyond belief.

I used to be bessie mates with Darren Wood and as his dad ran the Raleigh team, we used to go on some amazing road trips. I remember being at Hounslow track, tehy used to have that crazy metal 1/4 pipe next to the track and Greg wanted to impress Sam woods to get on raleigh so he was getting stupid air out of this metal pipe, in the pissing rain!

Sam signed him up and we took him on a weeks tour, he didn't bring any spare cloths, just him and his bike! He was amazing, i've never seen anyone ride vert ramps like him.

go was hard to get hold of so only had a few copies. never saw that issue and that turndown is just too good. another rider who did amazing turndowns was chris potts. i remember one pic of him in freestyle mag busting one at 270 with the bike kicked the other way.think it was a afa velodrome comp 1987.

Trev · « **Reply #19 on:** October 17, 2007, 11:57 PM »

andy reardon used to also do some very tweaked turndowns.
