Post by: dannyboy on October 04, 2007, 10:46 PM

i always rode about on my bmx when a kid but never got the chance to race and i only ever hurt my balls when trying to do endos and stuff
so i dont know much if anything about a lot of you old gits on here and others around the world just thought a section where members could maybee add in some
of the things that made big improvements in racing  freestyle ect rules  i dunno stuff like that  ??? :) or just things that were important to the sport

On this site you have some great riders from back in the day. probably too many to mention, but start at the top.
Billy Stupple, factory skyway rider.
then you have
sam wonfor-nishiki14 rode for Peugeot, GT, Nishiki factorys,
OSS Queen, rode for GT, Redline, Titan, MH, co-sponsored by ame, zeronine, axo to name a few.
Tony Fleming Flemdog, Torker, GT, Freeagent and still kicks ass in racing today.
DH.com. Dale Holmes 2 x world champ
Alex Leech, mad freestyler, still riding today, rode for S+M.

I know Mattdub was a factory rider, Trev was another good freestyler, not sure who he rode for.

Theres loads more, and if they speak up this will be a great thread :daumenhoch:

oh I rode for Hotshot/redline and Ace

More Former Freestyle World Champions on here include Dave Young, Carlo Griggs & Gary Forsyth.  (Mike Canning is a member I believe). I know I've missed someone too..... :-[
