So pleased no-one has mentioned TRM on this thread yet...

maybe because this is for race frames?

lol

Am I right in thinking JAG were a UK outfit??? Old Pikey would know

I loved those!

SRE frames were superb Steve Saunders was a big dude indeed, Oldmankev would know Steve they were the same age group (I think).

You could include TRM in this as someone did win a national on a TRM freestyler bitd, I will see if I can find who it was.

Absolutely correct Mr Stiddard Steve Sanders was in with me
friggin quick he was to.

stidds · « **Reply #32 on:** January 11, 2006, 10:18 PM »

Well done Darren and Pete, I have a picture of him somewhere on that TRM.

stidds · « **Reply #33 on:** January 11, 2006, 10:20 PM »

Steve Saunders was crazy fast wasn't he. I remember Lee Summers (another rival of Kev's) used to always get blown away by him and end up going home in the car in the worst mood, was quite funny though.

oldmankev · « **Reply #34 on:** January 11, 2006, 10:23 PM »

Not as funny as the Hounslow waterjump though Sean.

stidds · « **Reply #35 on:** January 11, 2006, 10:26 PM »

The Hounslow water jump, that was the funniest thing ever, I have that picture from BMX Action bike. I will post it tomorrow Kev. We laughed all the way home about that, he was NOT impressed, I laughed my tits off.

oldmankev · « **Reply #36 on:** January 11, 2006, 10:30 PM »

Look forward to seeing that again, and that awful lid he used to wear.

stidds · « **Reply #37 on:** January 11, 2006, 10:40 PM »

His black Pro-Tec lid? I hated that thing, full Kuwahara get up and a black pro-tec helmet, how sad. We tried and tried to get him to change, but he was a stubborn f*cker.

Might have been, although I don't think I was the only one to have won a national on that frame.

Below is a picture from 1984 NMBMXA British Championships in Derby. I sure Dale won't mind me mentioning he was in that race too.

I've had a quick skim through this forum and it is wonderful to see some old names.

p.s. I would love to see the vid from Wigan! I have very little left of my racing years.

Yes that's correct Jas. Steve Bell also won an NBMXA National on a freestyler frame.

The age classification system worked against Steve. If his birthday had been a couple of weeks later he would have avoided the likes of Wayne Llewelyn, John Dalton and the other big lads, he would have been in with me.

Have you got many 'BMX Action Bike' magazines from that era? Mine have dissappeared. $:-\$

All I have left is a program from Derby 84, nothing else. Mom and Dad have a few photos somewhere, mainly Deddington nationals but no mags!!

Mattdub · « **Reply #44 on:** February 06, 2006, 05:25 PM »

I remember Steve Bell (I think !) , he was in my age group.

Used to chat to a few of the Brum/Cov guys bitd , good laughs.

Mattdub · « **Reply #45 on:** February 06, 2006, 05:27 PM »

I used to ride for a very small bike manufacturer from MK bitd called Boss , very light frames but a little bit on the fragile side ! .

I'll try & find some pics if I can .
