Title: Cherry Picker Now and Then
Post by: brettypeeps on February 28, 2011, 11:26 PM
I remember doing them 20 odd years ago and Madferret found a picture from Cologne Germany in 1985 of me doing a Cherry Picker.  This inspired me to have a go at Creation the other night.  I can't believe I didn't finish up eating the concrete.

Now obviously (Stole this Pic From Keith's Photobucket)

Love seeing these old pics from BiTD Brett - lookin' like you never stopped doing them mate :daumenhoch:

I was chuffed to getting the back end round heading towards my old signature ramp exit table-top over the jump-box at Blackpool last week, so it's great to see us older riders still have a bit of bottle in us yet! I just wish I had a pic from BiTD to compare it to like yours bud - just brilliant >:D :coolsmiley:

Nice one Spen you have air under the wheels there.  I is taking a while to get my bottle back but I am getting more in touch with it now :daumenhoch:

I will have to try and get my 4rse up to Blackpool and have a blat around there Maybe do a RADpool in the Summer and book up all the Tacky B&B's

Cheers Brett - the jump-box looks like this from the side, so not as dangerous as it looks from the first pic :LolLolLolLol:

I think rolling down the approach ramp is actually scarier, although it is a 6' vert you have to jump out of - here's the 9' vertical drop / roll-off approach to the jump-box :shocked: :crazy2:

Good on ya guys, having fun with like minded peeps is what its all about...  :daumenhoch:

Organizing a summer get together is summat i've been thinking about, afternoon cruising the prom... seeing the sights...  ;)
