Keith Tutt here. Think we went to LCP and Bishop Bell together (you are the next year up). Although I never had a BMX back then I always wanted one and vaguely remember you having a good 'un or two back in the 80s. I've got into old school in the last year (Raleigh Burners first), looking to move up to the next level (Kuwie or other Tange framed bike) but also about to buy my first new school race bike and get into a bit for fitness etc. I live in Southampton now but still in touch with Anthony Light (Slack) from home and some peeps from your year on facebook etc.

Welcome in! :)

EDIT: Just had a flashback, were we both at Eastbourne Swimming Club too?

Post by: Molo on May 21, 2012, 09:17 PM: Hi Rob...Right up for the Skatepark, they done a adults/parents session at Westskates (the new indoor skate park) back in February which I went to and absolutely loved it ,unfortunately it was a very poor turn out so they won't be doing it again.

Itching to get up the Skatepark on the seafront early on a Sat/Sun morning before the youngsters get up there...
