I spoke to Dominguez at Blythers birthday party, he didn't have a bike YET, and so far attempts to get him to a skatepark for a session haven't been successful. I am positive he will be back in the saddle soon.

Great Pic's :daumenhoch:
These guys are almost as Rad as Billy :)

GOT TO get MD back on a bike!!
I'm sure some bike manufacturer would GIVE him a bike if they knew he was thinking of getting back into it! Think of the PR they would get from it, it would be a genius stroke for them. Get Carlo to send him a 'Proper' one over, surely they'd do a editorial in Ride magazine and it'd be great advertising for them.
I also think it's about time there was an "Old School Vert/Freestyle Series". They do it in almost every other sport, including BMX racing so why not BMX Freestyle too?
I'm sure there would be enough interest...wouldn't there? Just not sure how you'd qualify that's all as DMC with his age would qualify but he'd probably walk away with everything because he's never stopped riding.
One to think about I think.
Great pics by the way....loving the Hugo Gonzales picture....proper old school stylee!! They must be reinforced Tuffs if he's riding them now. ;D

This would be a great scenario, a veterans old school comp circuit, perhaps thats why they are all back in the saddle ::)

as per usual, we gets posts saying 'back on a bike' in here.
these guys haven't stopped riding.
where did woody manage to get a bike with a coaster anchor in 08?
-
gonzales sweet!
luv to see dominguez ride they should do a king of skateparks re-enactment complete with hugos face plant! :LolLolLolLol:
-
Hey, that's actually Hugo's brother Oscar on the mini. That's Oscar's backyard ramp. I was there that day. It was a crackup getting him back in the leathers again. Last time I saw Hugo ride it was still classic. It was on that ramp. He hadn't ridden in a long time and put together a ninja drop off a 6 foot ladder into the 6 foot mini!

What makes you so sure they have never stopped riding?
I'm almost sure Brian Blyther stopped riding mid 90's...
Be great if they didnt ever stop riding like... love to see a Demo from them!! ;D

love to see more pictures of them . BMX is getting big again a TV bmx beat or another Kellogg's would be excellent even better an old school bmx addition

Well, yes, i was still riding in the early to mid 90's and was very much still on the scene...
and i did hear back then that Blyther had stopped riding... to become a police man, maybe he'd just stopped riding the contests back then??
if you know differentley then, well, great!!
It'd be Great to think all the Great riders i looked up to BITD have still continued to ride...
Woody Itson did stop riding in the early 90's, and up until 'apparently' few years back
he was only ever riding once in a while...

I think Eddie Fiola continued to do show's, wether that was for GT or not i dont know?
Also Mike Domingeuz was due to ride again back in 1999/ 2000... love to see him riding contests again!!

I'm not tryna prove ya wrong... i just heard differently to you... i'm probably mistaken!!
-
I believe Fiola did circus type shows on BMX, There's a mid school vid (cant remember which one) with a bit of a dominguez interview he's riding his backyard ramp after a heavy session the night before, he got into a fight and had black eyes.
Anyone know which vid this is? i did own it but not a clue where it is where it is?
-

Yep...I'll second that Dave as I heard that too. But as you say he could have just stopped riding comps/shows etc.
Either way it's still cool to see em riding again and having the same passion that we all have for the sport. It's also well documented that I'm a big admirer of MD and to see him riding again would make my year. Some body give him a bike to ride FFS!
Always love to see that fakie pic of Dominguez - that's just insane for a fakie! And he used to do it with a freewheel too :shocked:
Lets get up a petition to get him back on a bike.

didn't brian break his neck a few years back? the gold woody hutch was being auctioned off to help with the 100,000 dollar medical bills as his insurance lapsed a few days earlier.
as for dominguez the video was Bully- slow ride - back around 1990. seemed a bit out of it if my memory serves me right.
-
Yip thats the one Denny , he still managed to pull a few 540's
-
Yeah, apparently. I was told by Rad member Obbie he'd broke his neck doing a backflip ( not on a bike, on his feet ) !!

Fiola was working as a TV stuntman for a while I'm sure. Doing the MTB stunts for an american show that was like a cross between Baywatch and Chips on MTBs?
I'm sure I read that in an interview back in the 90s somewhere.

I have Eddie Fiola on my Myspace friends, and yeah he does work as a stunt man, if you take a look in his pics section you can see that he has been working on the forthcoming Halo 3 movie.

:wtf: Can't believe Mike Dominguez is bikeless, thats just wrong on so many levels, we should bake some cakes and set up a stall somewhere to raise enough money so we can buy this legend a new ride :LolLolLolLol:

was it Pacific blue? think that is what it was called. one of the women on it was fit back then, but not so now- she had a series on mtv with her husband - the heavily tatooed one off blink 182. just come to - The Barkers it was called.
-
Yeah...Eddie's done loads of stunt work and it's been mentioned before but he'd make an excellent stunt double for Tom Cruise.

And go on then here's mine too......always happy to do some shameless self promotion ;D

Had a quick look at your imdb profile, so David Slade of 80's bmx fame is now David Slade of bloody good vampire movie fame?, i never knew that, it's got me wondering, have any other old schoolers gone on to fame and fortune outside of bmx??

Andy Ruffell. But I'm guessing you already knew that?

Andy Ruffell. But I'm guessing you already knew that?
No actually i didnt, i have seen his website but never really paid much attention to it, while i have never really been that far away from a bmx bike i have been away from the scene for 20 years so i'm pretty clueless to what all the old brigade are up to now, only this last week have i been googling the old names to find out what they are doing, and i tell whats really bummed me out is finding out that a few have died, i found out last year that Scott Carroll had died during a random conversation about bmx with a stranger in a local pub, turns out the guy knew Scott and told me he had commited suicide, yesterday i find out that Pepi Winder died and tonight i read that Neil Ruffell has also died :(
Just had a read of Andy Ruffell's bio, seems he's done alright for himself, he's probably still a twat though, he used to bug the crap outta me when he was on tv, he's was to bmx presenting what jamie oliver is to tv chefs....a right annoying **nt that you wanna give a slap to ;D
