yeh the shop was owned by jon higginson, brother of martin who was the bmx bi-weekly editor. their dad was also on the regional ukbmx board i think. big bmx'ing family.
ps that fence at the shop was about 10ft high with a small trick ramp in front of it. i think i was the only rider to jump it. my ankles and wrists still give me hassle to this day after those landings lol.

I love those old pics. :smitten:
Pagey with hair, I wondered what that looked like. ;D ;) Have you got any pictures of Dave Ives with hair? They especially rare these day's, but I hear there may be some in existance up your way. :police:
Your signature cracked me up there, my sister was particularly gay so I had to mostly do NBMXA.
Baldbmxer, I think your gettibng confused with Mark Leach from Peterborough, he rode for Scorpion.

I'd forgotten what a wierd frame the Chimp was. Nice, but wierd. VDC was a great company though, always wanted one.
