Title: Re: 1994/5 sta winter project
Post by: SaMAlex on November 19, 2006, 10:07 PM: Leigh -on -sea and radlands were THE spots in the 90s! I drove the Hour to Northampton at least once a week for a few years. The Radlands setup was never as good as when it first opened, with the really wide 6ft mini and the big vert wall.
Title: Re: 1994/5 sta winter project
Post by: Lazarou on November 19, 2006, 10:10 PM: Agreed, but i did love the roll-in!

SaMalex, you're not Alex Leech are you?

Title: Re: 1994/5 sta winter project
Post by: harris on November 19, 2006, 10:16 PM: i rode mainly the mini ramp set up on the left hand side at radlands .as it was infested with skate boarders
till they did alternate times.
Title: Re: 1994/5 sta winter project
Post by: rory on November 19, 2006, 10:21 PM: only rode radlands once, rode liegh on sea few times , vert ramp is a killer there , saw j gallley 10 ft top side can cans with monkey boots on , wtf,

Title: Re: 1994/5 sta winter project
Post by: harris on November 19, 2006, 10:24 PM: ye i rode there when jerry would sesh the spin and mini ramp he would hit at least 6ft
transitions from one mini across to another.quality days and pot noodles at leigh.
Title: Re: 1994/5 sta winter project
Post by: Lazarou on November 19, 2006, 10:27 PM: A few times back around 92/3 but then again everyone knew everyone back then there were only a handful of us! You did drop off the radar a bit towards the end of the nineties were you still riding? A friend of mine mentioned you just the other day while i was sorting through some old mags and he said he considered you the most progressive UK street rider of the 90's and i couldn't disagree! Did you quit for a while? Go Stateside? Still on S&M?!
Title: Re: 1994/5 sta winter project
Post by: rory on November 19, 2006, 10:28 PM: dont know which pot noodles where worse, leigh or rom
Title: Re: 1994/5 sta winter project
Post by: SaMAlex on November 19, 2006, 10:42 PM: Kind words, thanks for that.

I never "quit" riding but it is getting harder and harder to find time. My last trip to the states was in 97 (see footage on the seventies vid "word") and for the rest of the 90s I just stayed local and rode low key. In 2003 had a son and in 2004 a second so that has kinda written of the last few years but I got a new bike from S&M earlier this year (they helped me out with a killer deal) and Im starting to get out on it more and more. Im hoping for plenty of riding next summer!

Post by: christhejob on November 20, 2006, 07:03 AM: hey alex it's chris j.. yeah that first radlands mini was great. pity i spanked my head and shoulder on the quarter pipe gap thing,, curtailed my enjoyment of the mini.
the sta be the bollocks......
Title: Re: 1994/5 sta winter project
Post by: SaMAlex on November 20, 2006, 09:53 AM: Hi chris, I noticed you were about on here. How you doing?

I also managed to slam hard on an early trip to Radlands. I tried the rail down the side of the mini (on the drop side) and fell to the floor on my head. Radland Chris's wife drove me to A&E for a few stitches and even mopped up the blood. I think I have some pics somewhere.
