Took these a couple of weeks before the King of the Skteparks finals. Getting some practice in on the skinny wheels.

It was deffo '85. That article was 'published' in early '86. Mike Chilvers (ex factory Pro Star rider) wrote the article. We did the month long trip together - KOS Final,Vans factory,BMX Plus offices & Azusa BMX track to name a few. It was a "trip of a lifetime" for sure  :)
This is him looking on.

Tim... apologies for being so thick...

Tim as in 'Tim Stamp' ... as in 'Hutch Radster Tim Stamp' who was with Mike Chilvers when he wrote the article  ::)

I guess that means you would know what year it was mate  ;D ;D ;D ;D

Sorry for being slow on the uptake  :)
