some bloke rode the longest wheely ever
Was that not Craig Strong? Looptail PK Ripper, used to like taking his bike to bits while on one wheel.....
-
cool pic!!!
and yes craig strong was the wheelie king
looptail ripper, homemade forks, and a FIXED wheel
he would do the wheelie striptease where his bike, um, fell to bits during the wheelie.
at one point he would be up on the headtube with a spanner
-
didnt craig strong have a massive mullet ;D i thought he was cheese even back then
whos got a piccy of him?
-
I have a pic in one of the dave spurdens books. wil have a look later.
-
is bill holding the stem in that picture?
-
you want to see that one on the orange streetbeat at southsea skatepark . com, i bet he can still feel the stretch 20 years later......
-
heh heh, it looks like that doesnt it.....either that is a pad or he has one extra long arm....
-
thats one scary ass drop in
-
Can you still do that Bill?? ???
Nope :( I could still do that type of drop in, but not one handed one footed , up untill I stopped using a coaster brake when my graphite tuffs broke in June this year. The last one I tried on a freewheel resulted in me landing on my head at Redditch :(
-

-
yeah, thought that was a bit wierd........figured he'd borrowed it off him for the day...lol

Craig Strong, that right... I forgot about him stripping the bike down while doing the wheelie..yeah, that was dody even back then :-\
Billy, that drop in is a definate 'coaster brake' drop in. You were the King of those 1 hand 1 foot drop in's, look how your bars are crossed up, aggro man! Why don't you ask Pete Hawkings for a new coaster brake tuff ;D
Anyone heard from Chris Young? The Crystal Palace King. I remember going down to Palace to those Fiberglass jumps / ramps.. wasn't that Chris's stomping ground? Both Billy and Chris had a lot in common.. both loved working with Pete Hawkings :-\
-
I rode with Chris on his dad's Skyliners team - happy days.
Google Chris Young BMX and prepare yourself for an interesting read...... :o
He is, or was, residing at Her Majesty's Pleasure under slightly bizarre circumstances ;)
-
Thanks Rob, I'll check him out on Google, sound juicy...I forgot his Dad ran the Skyliners team, now that takes me back 8)

Don't remember you, I met you at Rom & Skaterham this year.
I used to live near Rob Bell & we used to ride all over the place, quite a bit at Rom, was there when Fiola was there too.
Anyone know where Rob Bell is now, havn't seen him in about 20 years.
-
If you knew Chris' old man you'd laugh out loud at that quote, I can see him saying that right now! ;D

Maybe a little later on from me then, I gave up quite early. I only remember Haro and Dominguez at Rom, when did Fiola go there?
-
Not really sure of the year, probally 84 or 85, but I think it was the same year as Haro & Dominguis were there, I missed them, but did see Fiola at Pickets Lock on the same tour.
Billy's got some Photo's I took of Fiola at Rom.
-
22 Months, he would have only done half so he should be about at the moment, see that his Mum and Dad still live in Sydenham, and if he is still living in Caterham perhaps we could find him and take him to Skaterham ;)
-
i was at rom fiola turned up too
and was rob bell from hx as his name sounds familiar
-
hx ?
He was from Tooting Broadway.

It would be kinda weird if he does live in Caterham and has never been to the park, you would have thought curiosity would have got the better of him...

Yeah. I remember him as a sarf londoner :)

One of these days I`ll get them scanned Chris, I think it was 85 when Fiola was at Rom in those pics you had Chris. He did go there in 84 when Haro and Dominquez were there but no one rode because it was pissing down :(
-
rom...rain...shocker
Dave
-

lol all day
-
the day haro and dominquez was at rom we went in a mini van got soaked, remember some bloke on a quad airing the performance, got some photos somewhere, if my memory serves me right they had the single top tube and normal sports there
