yep, a sad loss.  neil was the reason i started riding.  saw him ride in the kelloggs and blew me away. i wanted to be able to ride like that.  got to see him ride live a couple of times, but never met him.

TwoBobRob:
My mate tells a story about Neil;

Back in the days when there was a lamppost overlooking the performance bowl at Rom,  he saw Neil sat on his bike right by it. He was sat there for ages, not really speaking to anyone or seemingly doing owt.  Then without any warning, he got up on his pedals and simply rode straight off the edge of the bowl.  He didn't bomb drop to the bottom though, he hopped and tucked and rolled down the face, barely leaving the concrete.

I can see hopping back in from a tyretap these days, but I don't fancy just riding off the edge....... This must have been 83-84 sih.  Rad.   :daumenhoch:

tricknuts:
yeah sad that Neil is no longer with us.

From the rest of your list, Ive read that Nick Philip is in San Francisco. I think Ramprat knows more details.
and I think i remember Billy Stupple  mentioning that Dave Currie drops in here as a guest.

Well next time he is on here tell him his Action Zone bars were some of the best ever. I had a set which I inherited and I loved them. However, I do remember him giving Dave Slade a set and telling him they were indistructable and then Dave proceeded to wreck them two weeks later - lol! Slade was a mad f****r though when he had his head on, anyone remember that pop out he did on to the balcony at Holeshot and nearyl wiping Gaz Top out who was stood on the balcony - old Gaz Top sh*t himself! Very funny!
