Title: my bmx chat,with a tat man
Post by: stu27 on April 06, 2012, 07:45 PM
did the obligatory bank holiday thing,and hired a skip to clear the crap out of me garden
this fella turned up as i was doing it in a big wagon,asking if he could take any of the metal
told him not a problem,and if you give me a hand ive got 2 big metal cabinets down the garden
as we walked down,something went off in me head,and i said to him,did you use to race for birmingham wheels
fooking hell he said,i thought i recognised ya,we had a right good chat,talking about the quarter pipe and ramps we used to build
a few old names were mentioned,and he was telling me about how he went over to arizona with trevor robinson and dean bateson,racing for a week solid
said the yanks set up was so good,he talked about anthony sewell alot,how he first met him,and being in the same factory team as him
i could feel the sorrow,when i told him he passed away about 3 years ago
a bit of a waffle guys,but thats been me best skip filling ever

Cool story.  :daumenhoch:
Who was it Stu? Mate of mine was in & around the Wheels setup with Butty etc.
Don't know if true, but his take/story on B'ham wheels frames is very interesting.

Raggy, he'll defo know my mate then, heard all the stories countless times... ::)

Wheels were, don't know if it ever happend, building frames for their riders based on other frames.
So my mate was to have a Wheels frame built to the same geometry etc as his Robinson Pro.
Could be BS though.  :LolLolLolLol: Who knows, the amount of herb thats passed through his lungs...  :crazy2:
