Has anyone seen it?
I remember him telling me exactly how much he'd spent on building it. It certainly doesn't look much now.

Ghetto!

Yorkshire's most expensive bonfire. :LolLolLolLol:
-
:LolLolLolLol: i can remember seeing it built and being amazed at the transfer angles :shocked:
-
I miss kappy & his mad ideas :(
-
Cool ramp :slayer: but where the fook would you put it. ???
-
I've seen it in person but it was under snow and ice and the time.
-
I've seen it too in the flesh not long after it was built and it looked awesome.
Just a pity the Yorkshire weathers fooked it up!!
-
Looks cool. 8)
-
wow that didn't age well, i saw it as he was building it it must only be about 2-3 year old :shocked: i did miss kappy jumping ship, what happened? did he sell up or has he still got his collection?
-
Was he the guy making copy action zone bars ?
-
Last time I spoke to Daz was about 12 months ago and he was really into his off-road car racing again :coolsmiley:
Pretty sure he kept quite a few bikes but they will be gathering dust and probably find their way onto ebay eventually if he gets bored of looking at them :-\
As for that half-pipe, it was mad as it had no transitions and was vert at 6' so totally un-rideable :crazy2:
-
I miss kappy & his mad ideas :(
I bet the newbies coming on here wont miss him trying to shaft them though,,, Thumbs down
-
I remember saying at the time I was puzzled as to why he didn't ask for some advice before going ahead with that.
Yorkshire's weather has nowt to do with it; It's just a cheap badly built ramp.
Hopefully he didn't pay too much in the first place but I doubt that's the case.

Wish i had somewhere to put it. Would love that ramp
-
Oh, has he got out of this obsessive hobby? ??? ...............now theres a surprise! >:D
All over it like a rash, thankfully the rash cleared up! :LolLolLolLol:

wasn't just me that thought that then ;D

Must have missed that one.... Do tell, please. Photos would be good. Of course, please feel free to change the names of those involved to protect the guilt/innocent. Action zone bars are not something i'm into, buy a few radsters love them. Would be good to some photos of the copies to give less clued up members a heads up....

I think he made it for a bit of fun......not to become ramp builder of the year. :chin:

That much is clear.
What he actually did was throw £1800 quid away. Although from what I understand he can afford it, so no harm no foul.
My point about asking for advice at the beginning was simply so he could have got the shape and proportion correct and by doing that he would have had a lot more fun on it for the time he wanted to ride it.

Aah. So the converse is true - he didn't spend enough.
-
He's back in the game. Heard from him last week.

Check them against each other, I'd be interested to know.
He did seem to have quite a few pairs, when was the last set you saw come up for sale ???

Exactly....Quite of few of these kicking around now too...

You can see a clear difference in the blue to white bars straight away ???

Last set I saw come up was by Dave Rampchild those are the other set I have that I'll compare against.
White ones from Kappy, blue from Rampchild:

Are the white ones without capped ends, and the blue ones capped? ???
-
Could just be colour and angle that make them look different? He might well have bought a few sets, as he did seem to buy an awful lot of stuff for high prices.
-
Here he is ... ol Dappy

I think they're pucker tbf, why go to all that trouble to replicate quite a detailed set of bars to make a quick buck, when he could have done the same using a less complex design, DP ladder bars, for example. :daumenhoch:

True Dan

If you look at his fleet, there's only 3 sets of AZ's and shit loads of CW Freestyle bars, I'd be more suss of them. :LolLolLolLol:
-
Not exactly the same position with the photo.
The blue ones before paint:

Seriously, I don't think you've got anything to worry about. :daumenhoch:
-
I can see a slight difference but could be the angle of the pic... guess the only way to tell for sure as re: dimensions is to size em up with each other. ???
Either way they're pretty fookin close. :daumenhoch:
-
He did make a few , theres a thread on it some where.
Nice enough kid, if a bit ott on wanting everything bmx you own for nothing.
Couldnt ride for shit though , sore him nearly kill himself a few times at t1 and boardroom, that's why he just stood around talking and doing that balancing trick.
-
Shame Dave Curry didn't stay on here - you could have your answer from the company owner himself.
-
I would consider Dave a friend. Life seemed to have been hard on him and I'm a little ashamed to say I allowed contact to be lost.
I hope he's safe and well.
-
Me and Stodge brought his last 5 sets from him about 6/7 years ago maybe more, are the blue / white sets stamped az ?
-
always loved this pic

I've still got some of the collection , and i can name which peeps sold me the bars , plus i've kept some hanging on the wall :)
-

I like it where he says 'nothing has changed'.
Well, there's nobody turning up on the rides or phoning me up anymore bragging about how much they've spent on bikes/parts, and there nobody trying to prize parts off people and telling them that 'everything is for sale'. And there's no back door auction type sales via pm's anymore, so I guess, quite a lot has changed. :daumenhoch:
-
And there's no back door auction type sales via pm's anymore
was only when I went to reply that I re-read what you wrote Dan
for a second I thought you were saying there was no back door action going on - of course there's still plenty of that :surprise:

So what bikes did you decide to keep hold of Darren? I was gutted when I found out you'd sold the GJS freestyler. Fingers crossed i'll be able to own it one day!
