Title: Japanese Old School Find - Part 2 of 4!
Post by: Mikku on January 28, 2016, 09:02 AM

This is the first of the albums that the shop owner showed me, and is arguably the best! It shows the Tokyo leg of the GT Freestyle World Tour of 1986.

Wildcat was another Tokyo BMX shop, sadly no longer there.

I don't recognize the blond rider above but have no problem identifying the following guy on the left!!

Is the second riser Bob Morales? I remember him and Eddie F on an earlier UK tour with GT?
