I have some similar pics from that tour when he was in Newcastle+Redcar. Also some from kellogs in 84.  I will try and access a scanner and sort them for you.  Im guessing the non-riding shots were taken at a signing in some shop? Class! In the pics I have everyones got real dodgy hair too...  :crazy2:

They made a real weird hollow slapping sound whenever he landed...should have stuck with Skyways... ;)

Jesus.....  Kev o'connor now theres a blast from the past. last saw him around 94ish when he started coming up to the Oval in Washington. He took a hard slam one night forgetting to lift his front wheel rolling into the halfpipe......slide on coping straight to flat from ten ft plus ouch! His head had to hurt man....

Saw quite a bit of him a couple of years ago as he was toying with the idea of getting back into it, but a bit of bad blood over a bike deal with one of the lads meant we didnt that much of him. i see him every now and then, the last time about seven months ago, he aint grew much :LolLolLolLol:
