also one the nicest blokes you will ever meet,  he spent a lot of time at rehab skatepark wakefield in the late 90's he was so cool with the novice riders, really pushing them and offering advice and encouragement, top bloke!

yup, you could never get bored watching that....

one thing that always tends to get overlooked is the distance he travels on each air.  even though it looks like he's travelling far as it is, the size of the ramp makes it appear a lot less than what it is.  i'm sure if you measured it out, then measured out that distance at your local park, you would truly be amazed.

a true legend.

I always notice how far he carves, but not thought about that Trev i wonder if you cut the middle of the ramp out he would transfer it or ally it! mmmmmmmm  ::)I'm just being silly.

If you watch the grounded section on that huge ramp, if the boards are 4foot wide he travels about 20 feet across the ramp :wtf:

Makes you laugh when the BBC and others hype up some dude that came second in F1,  he was just the first looser. at least Jamie like James Toseland is a Brit winner.
