Just watching this and Andrew Reardon was super smooth on the flatland and Pepi Winder was outstanding, best of the lot and hardly put a foot wrong, total genius and well missed... is this Andrew still riding? Thought he was very good.
Is the Stupple on these videos too? :D
-
two years too late for Stupple... he only done the 84 BMX Beat
-
whos stupple ??
only joking billy .... ::)....lmao ..

Just been watching more, Mason Smith is damn good also but so was Robert Ruffell, that's someone you hardly hear about! What a rider he was especially following in the footsteps of Neil and Andy (Ruff, that haircut is a classic ;D ). Also there is this little dude I think his called Carlo's someone, totally awesome on the ramps and flatland... think his riding a streetbeat and sponsored by skyway? Top stuff :daumenhoch:
-
Andrew Reardon's from my part of the world (cardiff) - he hasn't ridden since those days I don't think. should have been more well known than he was for the talent he had. Rode for Vincent for a bit. Welsh Denny new him quite well, he probably knows what he's up to. He had a brother Marc (Nipper) that absolutely ripped too, especially on ramps but he sadly took his own life in his late teens.

Sorry to hear about his brother... Andrew was very good I thought very clever on ground tricks and very composed, suprised that he didn't go on to do better things? ??? ;)

still in touch with the other reardon brother- matt. marc tragically took his own life on valentines day 1989 in the street i live in now. hosepipe to the exhaust in phil bevans car. such a waste as while marc was always in andy's shadow he was the better ramp rider. some of the stuff he used to do was incredible.
andy was a security guard in m&s cardiff for a while ( that was many moons ago). last time i saw andy was around the time madd matt came out. i bumped into him in
a niteclub so got talking and copied some of the latest videos for him as he was interested in what was goin on . seen him once more after that but ain't heard anything for years.

Bloody terrible shame... :( Also a real shame Andrew isn't still riding... his ground stuff definately was hotter than his ramp stuff. Needs to get out of damn M&S and get back on his bike! :)
