Title: Some old pics - A few famous faces included
Post by: kennyhunter6061 on April 04, 2008, 11:59 PM

Just been scanning some old pics and thought I'd share a few..

Andy Irwin doing a demo at Mogil Motors, Stirling, as part of the Ford Roadshows

Neil Ruffell on the original Scotia 1/4 pipe, Meadowbank, practice at Scottish Freestyle Masters, 1985 I think. Neil won.

Myself on the same 1/4 pipe during a Scotia freestyle demo at Ingleston Exhibition Centre, 1985

Terry Jenkins aboard a chrome 1984 Haro Master, Meadowbank Scottish Freestyle Masters.  Terry came 5th

Me on my '84 Haro Master, the day I got it.  Was I happy??  :D

Some Mongoose geezer.  Bike rings a bell but I can't think of the name  ;D  Scottish Bike Show, Hamilton Civic Centre.  Check out that crappy makeshift 1/4 pipe - Not much more than a few sheets of ply shoved up against a lamp-post!!

My first backyard 1/4 pipe, 1984

(http://www.radbmx.co.uk/archive/albums/g260/kennyhunter4130/kennypipe3.jpg)

Same pipe from the back.  I could only squeeze in 4 turns of the crank, the garden was so small, so getting air out the 8ft pipe was a bit of a challenge!  ;D

My last freestyle demo, Callander Games, 1991 - Note the campy Graphites, Diamond Back Turbo cranks and Hutch pedals  :smitten:

Alas no, the only bits I still have off that bike are the bars, stem & tyres.  :'(
