Does anybody (apart from Pete) remember Matt Baines? Or know where he is now?

The bloke rocked Harrow skatepark back in the early/mid eighties and it would be really nice to know what he's up to now.

Here's a pic to jog some memories (He's the guy on the right standing behind Mr Fiola and next to me!) :

Lovely eh? Thinking about going back to that look for cruising on me GT - what do you think?

Jim and me both have Mullet wigs you could try! I reckon doing the L-B on oldschool bikes with Mullets is the way to go.

I am originally from NW London and rode/skated Harrow 82-87 and remember Matt.BITD he had a Redline with Bottema forks and used to jump over a 7 ft chainlink fence out of the snake run at Harrow.He got more into skating after BMX,and as far as I know he still skates.There is a website,something like Old Skaters Reunited??? If you can find the site,someone there may be able to put you in touch.

Thanks James - nice one. Was it a redline or a Kuwahara? I can't remember. Anyhow, I'll try and track down the old skaters site...thanks again mate.

Cheers
Dave

Stodgy · « **Reply #17 on:** January 10, 2006, 06:20 PM »

Thanks Jim! Well spotted mate...do you know him?

Hey Pete - have a look at: http://www.thedeathsquad.co.uk/deathsquad/baine.htm

yeah I was at that demo and saw mat ride earlier in the day and he was going for 720 s and your right he did rip it up at Harrow. Did you see my footplant eight foot out to wipe out in the demo ? I still have a dent in my hip from that

Stodgy · « **Reply #19 on:** January 10, 2006, 09:20 PM »

Good to hear from you Andy...I'm sure I got some pics of you from BITD...I'll have a look!

andy irwin · « **Reply #20 on:** January 10, 2006, 09:23 PM »

I would love to see them as that was a good demo I remember I broke both skyways and threw my GT top into the crowd, those were the days.

QUADROPHENIA · « **Reply #21 on:** January 10, 2006, 09:33 PM »

got a fair few photos of the evening i am sure a got a photo of the footplant up the wall in the civic, remember it being quite high

Jim · « **Reply #22 on:** January 10, 2006, 09:41 PM »

Hey Stodg - I don't know him personally although I have spoken to him once a few years back. Living right by rom kind of spoils me - I never really skate anywhere else (part from my garage)... he is indeed a true Harrow local & a natural ripper - there was an RAD issue from way back with Matt ripping a huge method on a Schmitt Lucero... Actually, I think I'm on the wrong forum now... shouldn't I be on M-A-S or sum'fin? Sorry Bill / Dave / Rhys about all this dirty talk...
