well it's been a good few weeks since i posted any sunday pics of rom,

so some cracking pics and i'm saving the best till last, me and billy was at rom
yesterday when the bycicle union team turned up, thay all ripped the place but
billy wasn't intimidated and ripped it with them :)
John Dye the owner of union and a big name in the 90s and at ride magazine today took
some pics and one was of billy, the pic is awsome and billys a very proud young boy
and so am i :4_17_5: johns pic at the end ;)

So he should be. A very select few get on there!
Before you know it, Billy will be hanging out in Cyclone Cycles drinking way to much tea!

alex, just been scrolling through my pics from last week, i took nearly 200 and here's a pic of cong,
do you know him as he was quite a good rider ;)
(http://www.radbmx.co.uk/archive/albums/aa37/billybmxpurcell/rom131007048.jpg)

Cong is what I'd call a proper midschool hero. He seemed to be everywhere back then and a magazine regular. Real nice bloke, funny as you like :)
I recall him breaking a Standard at a Radlands jam, and having a long conversation with me about the state of KOC ramps one year.
-
Thanks for that Dan :daumenhoch:
Cong (John Barnett) is a great bloke and was everywhere in the early 90s. He got a photo here donig a rad X-up cancan.
http://www.radbmx.co.uk/forum/index.php'topic=36739.0
Its a magazine report of a contest at Oxford (my old local ramp) in 93. I havent seen him for ages, its great to see he is still ridin.
-
alex see that thread today and those pics wouldn't look out of place today :coolsmiley:
that pic of cong is kool as and is that gerry in the first pic :4_17_5:
-
Yip. Thats Jerry alright :daumenhoch:
-
rob no helmet, one piece crank and styled, what a period in bmx that i missed,
most of the 90s vids and pics would not seem out of place today, apart from everything was
chrome ;D ;D :daumenhoch:
-
Well, Jerry would sometimes wear a lid, sometimes he wouldn't.... as for the one piece, he just rode whatever was available to him. That was one of the things that he was so highly admired for - he could (and still can of course) ride any bike on any ramp and rip it to bits :4_17_5:
You would have loved that era mate. The atmosphere was something else, people were in it for all the right reasons and the riding was out of this world. No foampits, no resi ramps and in this country for sure, virtually nowhere to ride! Travelling every weekend was normal and there was never any attitude from the locals when you went somewhere new. I used to ride a big vert ramp in New Malden most weekends. That was a 150 mile roundtrip in a buggered old mini estate. I didn't give it a second thought, just got in the car, picked up Howard Radcliffe and off we went. Good times :)
The old outdoor Backyard Jams would have been right up your street. A weekend camping, lots of mischief and everyone there together, pro, novice it didn't matter. For me, they lost something when they went indoors...
