Yeah it was Andy Patterson who drove it, and I think the only one not to jump in the van was Dean Scott-Web, but I remember Barry being irate when we came back, it was like being caught being naughty on a school trip by the headmaster  :LolLolLolLol:

I remember that drop-in picture very well, strange how magazine pictures get engraved on your mind.

Funny what it says too: "....And he's still not wearing a helmet. It could be a short career."

Couldnt be more wrong, ay

At the time it was a big no-no to be riding without a crash helmet on, but that pic was taken whilst we were just warming up and for the demo all the pads and crash helmet were on, so they ignored all the pics with full protection on and published that one  >:(

That mag came out whilst we were on the British part of the European Tour and one of the first people to see it was Dean Ellison the Skyway president at the time who was with us on that part of the tour, he wasn`t none to pleased either  :LolLolLolLol:

SaMAlex:
you can kinda understand why, cos its always hard when kids get led to think its cool not to wear a helmet, but you can also see why BMX went its own way later in the 80s and the riders took more control. Like that thread else where when Peter Noble wrote a letter to BMX Actionbike complaining about riders not wearing helmets, and threatening to pull advertising, and saying he wouldnt let the people who work for BMXA enter in BMX beat.

Still, its an unfortunate fact that riding pics without pads do always look cooler, that pic was an Punk BMX classic.
