Great minds think alike!
Dont know why but its just sayin Frazer to me, it looks like a white Prolite CC. And as most riders do, Fraze had a style of his own! I used to ride with him a bit BITD.
The "R" ;)
-
It's not CC that's for sure as it's the wrong way, it could be FC but I'm going with the majority but it also looks like Damon but I don't remember him having a bike like that or with that gear. I'm really only thinking Damon because of the lid.
Jason Lunn maybe?
Daz. :daumenhoch:

Wrong way for Jason Lunn, I'm thinking a young zach Shaw
-
I'm thinking a young zach Shaw
It's too big for Zach :LolLolLolLol:
-
Not Frazer he was tiny then, Damon always wore a bell moto 3.
-
It's not Frazer - he would never of had a pink seat ;D or a layback seat post, he was tiny back then...so was I, not me either.
tis a cool pic though.
-
total wildcard...... is it eric steele?
-

Yeh good point Damon, he would not have had one peice cranks either!
-

well done dan... ;D

Ahhh the sweet taste of victory!!!, Tis a little known fact that when I used to ride Rom, a then unknown young Zach, used to sit an watch me air the performance bowl. Then after I gave up riding around '86 Zach just kept progressing and progressing. I next met up with him when i went to GT offices in Bristol for a dealer training day in 1997, He came up to me and said you used to ride at Rom. Thats when he told me he used to watch and learn from me airing that bowl.
Stumpy
-
Nice one Tel, you can still air the peformance in style. :daumenhoch:
-
Here's 1 of Stumpy, 1st time back at Rom in 15 years, RAD as fook :daumenhoch:

heres one i took of you stumpy at rom jam last year that was impressive after 15 yrs mate "PROPER"
(http://www.radbmx.co.uk/archive/albums/c324/flaz/ROMJAM064.jpg)
-
I like this game...
hey stumpy...way rad after 15 years - good going mate! wicked styleeeeee.
I thought that was Jess, that's his style and he went well high in the P bowl.
no idea of the southsea pic - he has some Action Zone bars so he's well cool!
-
Cheers Damon, had a blast at The Rom Jam last Year, still gotta get my own bike sorted though.
Flaz, great pics you took mate, any chance of emailing me the originals?
As for the Soutsea pic posted by Flatcap, thats a tough one. looks like a quad.... or am i imagining that?
Any clues Flatcap?
-
no lid :idiot2:

Dave Currey! ???
-
The bike is a Mongoose he was using after he'd bust his Gen 1 Damon but I don't suppose that helps any.
I can't really give you any clues as it'll just give it away too easy, it could also send you in the wrong direction. There's a double meaning in that last word of that sentence so have a think.
I'll leave that with you.
Daz. :daumenhoch:
-
dave slade ?
-
dave slade ?
thats a good call.
-
CC.
-
Rob, did CC ever ride a goose? can't remember him ever havin one, i also thought was d slade.
-
I never saw him on a goose, no. I'm just guessing based on Flatcaps post and that I think it looks like his style ?
-
Agree with you there, the style is as CC when he planted like that in the performance,
-
I too thought dave slade coz of the actionzone bars but the rider is the wrong build, no offence to him but dave slade was really short.
I might eat my words here as he did have a gen 1 with white tuffs for a while, but being the geek i am i remember he had light blue actionzone bars.
dave slade also wore the same dyno pants.
I'm sure its not CC as he rode gen1/TA/prolite around that era.
-
The weekend in Bognor Regis goes to Denny...it is Mr Slade.
The clue was in the word DIRECTION if you know where I'm coming from.
Steve....even Mr Slade could get his little legs flying when he had to and you're absolutely spot on that he had those Tuffs on his Gen 1 and if you notice the pedals are in the coaster position unlike CC's pedal would have been right at the bottom. I thought it might throw you all because of the frame he was running at the time but the AZ Bars and Tuffs gave him away I think.
The other thing as well is if you look at my Avatar that's a picture of me in the same bowl at Southsea on the same day so that should have given it away as well....you blind bunch!
;)
-
Ha ha shame on us lot, its my eyes i tells ya, cant'see a thing now a days. I've got some more old pics to scan, whos gonna post the next one, got any more Trev?
-

crikey. got the last 2 right just by guesswork. more fun than suduko. :LolLolLolLol:
-
Right....I like this game!
Not a great pic but it adds to the difficulty I suppose, it's the main pic I'm on about on the pink Performer.
I leave it with you.....

i'd hazard a guess at mike canning with a 540.
-

I thought that Denny but it's difficult to say which direction he's turning. :-\
Daz.
-
reckon its a 540 due to the front foot forward thing. not many goofy footed riders around 86 (if that is when its from- never attended)
-
trev i think it is you man lol :rant:
-
way out! here's a clue,other than bestwick who used to air both ways?
-
this is tough.
I'm pretty sure this is holeshot 86. original skyway top but wearing haro mode 3's.
trying to think who was on the skyway team (if it is indeed an actual skyway team rider) at the time who's a member on here.
the only one i can think of at the moment (other than carlo) is damon nicholls.
-
okay it looks to big to be damon. it can't surely be stupple can it? i think i would be 2 years out of date on this if it was.
-
okay, i'm gonna guess andy shohara.
-
spot on trev,andy it is :daumenhoch:
-
okay, i'm gonna guess andy shohara.
I was gonna guess that too, but that wouldn't really have been fair. Nice one egg :daumenhoch:
