Had some BMX Action magazines in the post today from Geth and had a right ball looking at old ads and articles with all the memories coming back. Only got 3 BMX Plus! left from 6 years worth of mags from bitd so it was a real treat. Can't thank Geth enough for generously spreading them out amongst us, lunacy, but brilliant! Will try and scan and post as much as I can so we can all enjoy.

Thanks Geth,
mark

Cheers Mark.

There's a stack of US BMX magazines on the table next to me right now. I wish I could get through them all and scan them but I think it would literally take months. Most are gonna be going soon, (hopefullY) but I'll try and scan some before they do.
Paternity leave soon. Maybe I can do a load then!

Top man! Could you do me a favour and have a look to see if you have a copy of the March 1982 BMX Plus magazine, the cover looks like this:

Or the November 1980 BMX Action magazine (no cover shot I'm afraid)?

I'm after a scan of the Scorpion Tests from these editions

Thanks and cheers

Marty

Geth is a great guy and very modest.
Never the show-off, never bragging on how good he is or what cool stuff he's got and especially what car he drives.
I bet a lot of you don't know what he drives. So when I was following him around Derby today I took a sneaky photo of his new ride.......

Very nice.

I wouldn't waste my money on a posers car like that.
Where the fook can I put my bike?

And as for the plate, mine would have to have BMX on it somewhere......

Like Dave says..... Pic taken from a Merc........

Mind you. You can fit bikes in there.

Thanks for looking anyway Geth, SteveG has seen this thread and has a copy of one of them so is going to scan it in for me

I have to say it's pretty cool to have one of UK BMX's legends rummaging around looking for a magazine for me, you are a top bloke

GETH SHOOTER ,had never heard of him before i joined the site because i grew up in south africa ,however since joining this uk based site ,(and talking to the girls from middlesbrough)i have bought the kelloggs dvd and i have this to say about mr SHOOTER he is a gentleman and a great sportsman, what i have seen he is also very modest and a down to earth bloke,even suprisingly enuff before and after he wiped some of the best riders asses bit 80s , i am ignoramus to all the riders in uk then and now however i would like to say i wish there were more like you geth

(no he never gave me a mag either for writing this colum,took me ages to correcting my spelling mistakes)

SteveG · « **Reply #15 on:** March 09, 2007, 09:45 PM »

I'm not sure what I have scanned is exactly what you are after MartyC, so Geth might still have to find you the articles you need.
I have put them in a seperate thread in the hope that people might find them if they do a search.
