You could be right, I used to ride with an old friend who moved to Camberley and went to Tomlinscote school in Frimley.  Used to skate and ride the ramp at Farnborough (which I have ridden in their three other locations too - Uxbridge Spandrel, Windsor indoor at billy Smart's and Andover skateparks  :LolLolLolLol:).  I wore glasses, looked a bit geeky of sorts but into the sports casual thang but when I jumped or rode the halfpipe people always stopped and watched  :daumenhoch:.

I reckon we've met if you were riding there in the early 80's.  I remember the jump out onto the road, it took/takes you to Frimley  if I remember right.

yeah thats the road between farnborough & frimley  ;)

i used to ride with Jason a lot as he lived like about a 30 second ride from my house at the time!

i found a pic with both of us in from bitd in Spurdens book of freestyle



Jason is sitting with the clipboard judging the competition (striped sleeve jacket) i'm watching from up on the bank with a no2 plate on my bike
still have that bike & plate   :daumenhoch:

he always rode with the number 1 plate as he was the best for miles around

i always rode with number 2 and yes i suppose in comparison i was number 2  ::) :LolLolLolLol:

You have brought back a few memories talking about Yes.  I'm tidying up getting ready to move house and found my Yes bag and all my race stuff. The helmet and the shoes fit, shame about the trousers though !

I remember the jumps mentioned as well.

Can anyone remember what happened to Jason Nash ?  When he was riding for Yes he came to visit us about getting my father to build a quarterpipe for the trick team. The ramp was done but Jason had left and the team folded. I don't quite know how it happened but a few of my friends and I ended up riding for them.

We met Melanie Vauvelle and Debbie Scott Webb at a big race meeting in Cornwall where we did a display. I think we all fell in love with both of them to be honest. Not only were they pretty gorgeous they rode bikes as well ! If by any chance they read this I was the quiet shy one and had no part in the broken window.  ;)
