Before racing I just went out and wheelied and bunnyhopped my way to the woods or skateparks where I jumped. I guess that was pre 'proper' freestyle but for me and the guys I rode with it was all just riding. But then 'proper freestyle came along with different bikes and the racers couldn't keep up with this pace as the 'proper' freestylers developed the sport, began doing much harder tricks and thier bikes became even more specialized but as a racer I was still really into it and we still all rode together and I used to love going to the early freestyle comps to watch or ride in the very early ones. Then a bit of a rift developed, almost like the skaters verses bikers situation, there was a definite divide between the communities. Freestylers didn't wear racepants and jerseys at this time, they wore Anarchic Adjustment and M zone t-shirts!

Clive, whereabouts are you from originally? I thought I read somewhere that you used to ride with Grotbags, did you ever ride over at Haydon Hall in Eastcote?

well work this one out :idiot2:
raced for superbike and won a few trophys and loved it BUT
was a better freestyler and won fook all ;D i think i entered one of the first freestyle comps ever
was against andy ruffel at pickets lock and rode shit, but still loved my freesyle and got much better
so my true love is freestyle ;) even though i raced all the time and loved that :uglystupid2:
now my son, billy-bmx has raced and looked good but he's not a racer, his only love is freestyle and he's
won more comps and been placed higher and won more prizes then i ever did :-[ now work that one out ;D
