Title: Where are they now? BMX Beat 1985
Post by: Trev on September 22, 2006, 07:39 PM

Hi there Peeps, figured it was time a new topic done the rounds.  I'm looking to see where some of the old boys are these days.  Thought I'd start with BMX Beat 1985 for no apparent reason.  I've filled in some that I think I might know, but hopefully you guys can help fill in the rest.  :)

Here's the list;

Nick Martin
David Slade
Paul McCracken
Jess Dyrenforth
Ciaran Jones
Steven Mcintosh
Trevor Cowell
Paul Hudson
Mark Anderson
Dave Young - Still in the Newcastle area - Member on this site
Tony Hardy
Neil Stevens
Stuart Duncan
Mason Smith - Still running Custom Riders
Robert Bell
Simon Kefford - I believe is a member on here
George Gordon
Winston Jones
Jason Hassell - I think I heard he is living Down Under now.
Glyn Lewis - Various rumours, but no one seems to want to talk about it.
Graham Marfleet
Andy Irwin - Member on here
Ben Dickenson
Stuart "Pepi" Winder - Loitering around the Crawley / Horsham area?
Paul Zak


Can anyone fill in the gaps?

So I got it wrong then  :(

I did read though that that was the reason why Craig and Neil were not allowed to enter.

Did you do the 85 Kellogs as well then Andy ?

Post by: Trev on September 23, 2006, 12:39 AM

it was only those that entered kelloggs 85 that were banned from bmx beat 85. it was deemed that those competing for the prize purse offered by kelloggs made the riders professional and as bmx beat was an amatuer competition they were therefore banned.  i believe it was only craig campbell, neil ruffell, mike pardon (who was actually a judge on bmx beat 85) and i think maybe andy preston?

I think mike pardon was only offered a judge role as he was the current holder of the title. although andy preston did give a "how-to" on his no hander drop in.

andy, i remember your flip off the trick ramp and the millions of fly outs and drop ins. :) i also recall a cherry picker in your flat run.
Title: Re: Where are they now? BMX Beat 1985
Post by: mike pardon on September 23, 2006, 08:41 AM
Ok lads lets clear it up then before theres fisty cuffs!!! I wasnt allowed to enter because i was deemed a pro by Mr Colin Kefford!!  Thats when the whole uk freestyle association was took over by school teachers and became even more of a joke.
Actually i was glad i couldnt enter because i would have got my arse kicked!
I remember Dave curry rode pretty damn good that weekend. I was asked to present a "how To" cant remember if i got paid
Howd you get paid Mr Irwin??
So thats the story of bmx beat 1985.

The twighlight of my freestyle career  :'( thats when Mr Irwin led me into the dark murky world of vertical skateboarding.
shame on you son.. :D

cheers MIke

Post by: madall on September 23, 2006, 08:50 AM
hey jeff or who ever you are, why do you act so big headed, you gave up in around 84-85  you was on the gt tour, you rode with fiola,  so what, you was a young boy,[boy]you gave up for nearly 20 years,   reading your posts you speak like it was yesterday, grow up, you wouldn't talk like that in any skatepark today,  they'd laugh at you,   i have two boys who work for me who nearly made it as pro footballers, both played for west ham all there lives, for  probs 10 years,  the've got on with there lives with out talking like has beens,  my old rom pal bill stupps was big in the 80s and i see him every week at rom , he never brags about any thing to do with the old skool,just has a laugh and tells plenty of storys , like i say enjoy talking about the old days but dont act flash like it was yesterday. my lad who is 14 would slaughter you in a skate park today. so would bill stupps boy and rom blokes boy,  once again enjoy the old days and remember they where the old days,           ps this is an old skool site to remember yesteryear wth fond memories not personal bragging for some old has beens,

Dan

Jeff Spicoli is Andy Irwin who used to be one of the top riders in the country  and as far as I see I havent seen him bragging about his past, also if you check out the video section the guy can still mix it with the best of them at 40 so I cant understand where all the hostility is coming from. If there is any bragging on the site its all done in a taking the piss type content so lighten up big guy and enjoy the site. :daumenhoch:
Title: Re: Where are they now? BMX Beat 1985
Post by: mike pardon on September 23, 2006, 09:10 AM
I agree entirely, this site is the best site around. No one brags we all just chat about the old days and the new plus most of us are still doing it.

Chill out relax and enjoy the best O/S around..

plus Andy (if he wants) can brag all he likes cos he is built like a brick outhouse..

Title: Re: Where are they now? BMX Beat 1985
Post by: jeff spicoli on September 23, 2006, 09:35 AM
I have always said that I ride toss then and now, I do enjoy bmxing but I dont think I have ever reached a good standard of riding. Where is the big head thing from? I only said to billy that I did both comps .I rode like a tw4t in both . Thanks for your advice Dan  :LolLolLolLol: it has changed my life. Everybody that knows me knows I am not a big head you have just read the post wrong.

I was a very lucky lad getting to ride with some great riders bitd. Why dont you come to Bones and I can show you my vanderroll :LolLolLolLol: and your right they do laugh at me bacause I ride like a 40 year old trying to recapture some of the buzz. I dont sit about talking sh1te about who i used to be ,we just have a good time. I have ridden with Billy and had a good time.



Pike........... GT paid me to go to bmx beat I thought everybody got paid for that one. The Kellogs was with Alan so I think it cost me ;D

leading you into skateboarding was a trip in itself, Pike left us all for dead on that too. He skated with the pro's on vert and was unreal. I have never seen anybody progress on a board like Pike.  :4_17_5:

I have never seen that and I have never wanted to see it. I rode bad whenever a camera was pointed at me. The comps took the fun out of it for me I liked just ridin with the lads.

you said this:

Quote from: jeff spicoli
i was reigning world champion for 11 years straight. i was doing 900's in 1979. no one could beat me, i was unstoppable. i had to retire to give others a chance. fiola would drug me on the morning of a show so he didnt looks so shit compared to me. and after the shows i would have a bunk up with peter hawkins

Bless him.  I remember all too well him coming over to Rom as a young lad with his parents in tow.  I went up to Custom Riders in 94 when I started back and they all remembered me.  Which was nice.

Was one of the first companies to support me in my little bmx shop venture and a genuinely nice fella. Saw him the other week riding at Corby, still ruling.

Don't worry he'll be fine . He did occasionally get beaten , and  it was 16 years ago, so I'm sure he's got over it.  ;) :LolLolLolLol:

Can I just make a point, (and not that Andy did bragg), but if you can't talk proudly and with fond memories about your BMX past then there's not a lot we can talk about on this site  :( The more stories about what you did and who you rode for the better as far as I'm concerned. Don't know about you guys but I'm personally not fussed about what who can do what nowadays, historically I'm only interested in the pioneering times.

One of my best and proudest times have been at Rad meets lining up with the likes of Billstup and Geth on the startgate. These guys were/are real heros of mine (sorry to embarrass you folks) and in turn rode against some big, big names.. now if you can't brag about that what can you brag about!! :-\

Some great pics on this post by the way chaps keep em coming  :daumenhoch: :daumenhoch:

Steven Macintosh doesn't ride BMX anymore but still likes the sport and does some MTB riding and Ben Dickenson doesn't ride either but says he can still pull a few 360s.

Anyone seen The Circle DVD if not you should buy it it has Pepi Winder on it its quite good becuase they have edited in a bit of BMX Beat 85 and the International 86.

Steve, are you still in touch with them? If so, get them to join on here. We'll get them back into riding.  :4_17_5:

Trevor Cowell is on here and broke his ankle at the last brum skate park gathering but he was still RAD
Glyn Lewis has Motor neurons and doesn't want any thing to do with BMX as he is now in a wheel chair a lot of the time.  I was speaking with his mum the other week.

This is one cool thread. Has there ever been an old proBMX gathering like they seem to have at Woodward. It could happen at Corby.

Old Fools organised by Steve Wilson is as close as you'll get to an OS pros reunion at the moment, although it's open to riders of  all ages and skills (or just folk that like a good time and a bevvy!).
Roadtrip number 11 happening this weekend, in fact, they'll all be nursing killer hangovers from the all night lock in at the Driftwood Spars in St. Agnes as I type this.....LoL!
Look in Members Events and Gatherings section for the Old Fools forum....
