Title: Remember the 300TA?
Post by: MartyC on March 09, 2008, 10:06 PM: A while back I posted a thread about the Skyway 300TA, well doing some research tonight I came across this review, interesting thing to note is one of the test riders; any guesses anyone?

Yep, but you probably spotted the clue on page 3 :LolLolLolLol:.

I never knew he was a test rider for BMXA though :daumenhoch:

Post by: SaMAlex on March 09, 2008, 10:18 PM: I heard a funny story about when Moeller got his Airwalk deal in the mid 80s. He took along a scrapbook with LOADS of magazine cuttings, mainly cos he got several pics in every BMXAction for many years. The guys at Airwalk said they wouldnt put him on the usual pay per photo, they would just give him a flat rate every month (to save them money). Then, a few years later, when BMXAction was long GOne and took its "bike tests" with it, Moeller was hardly ever in the magazines (he was busy running S&M), but the Airwalk checks kept turning up .... every month!

Completely different, this is when Skyway riders Dave Cullinan and rick Palmer didn't even race with Skyway wheels. It wasn't a bad bike, not great either, skyways less admirable years....
