The "Get Paul Barlow Freestyle rider back on a BMX" thread
TimBB:
Hiya Paul,
I remember you, Porters wood i think? Yeah spent a part of my mis spent youth all through the early and mid 80s in and around Wigan,....Like you say skating all the best places, Winstanly woods was a favourite too, I did my roller Skating at the rink flirting with BADDH's sister and ALL her mates!!!!!!, and my ramp skating at Warrington and my BMXing @ 3 sisters, I remember a massive ramp at Rose Bridge school in Pem and a saw my first ET Kuwahara ridden by Jason Grove , . And freestlye a bit like you everywhere, we even found out that Alan, from ALANS BMX fame had a ramp at his mum & dads house so we found out where it was and knocked on. Funnily enough they let us on for a while. All this fun and frolicks continued until i found wharehouse parties in Blackburn ETC, I know Bob and the boys all heavilly into their music if i remember rightly. My memory fades aver that some what .
See you soon, I will have remembered more by then i hope??
TimBB

Hi Tim
We were always out and about on our skates and bikes in and around Wigan. I worked at the roller rink for a while in the 80's did a lot of roller skatating back then and I am still doing it now. Got myself some Bauer Turbos, 651 axles,clouds,belair hockey wheels and mostly skate at the over 18 events. looking forward to trying a BMX again!!
I know alan and Bob are still mad into music and think Alan does it for a living?
Thanks Darren, any chance of mailing some photos of the bits we have so far?
