Shamelessly stealing a cool thread elsewhere on this site (but I didnt wanna take away the great 80s thing going on there), how about "Guess the Mid school rider"? Magazine scans are OK, but try to use riders someone might know (eg; RAD Members, riders who went on to be known).
I'll start things off with this one.
(Clue, it wasnt taken in the UK, and there isnt much "Mid" about the bike he is on)

odd forks , didnt gt do some like that ???
Nothing odd about Standing Gear forks! Im sure they are on a PK or Quad not far from here.
More clues and a second picture. He is from the US and was well known through the 90s. He is the guy on the deck in this shot, but you might get a bonus point for naming the UK rider doing the air.

is it clive baby-goose?
-
didnt think sg were still in use then :daumenhoch: ive no clue, not my era , cool pics though alex :4_17_5:
-
is it clive baby-goose?
No no no, although Clive was still riding BMX when this shot was taken in early 1991.
Surely I dont have to tell you what Bike Company this rider went on to represent?
The photo was taken about a month before he got on the team.
-
is it taj miballsitch?
in fact dont tell me! :LolLolLolLol:
let someone else have a crack at it, my brains barely even functioning today :LolLolLolLol:
-
didnt think sg were still in use then
For most of the early 90s, riders used what ever parts they could get. I was lucky enough to have a nice dirtbike, but I rode with people using all kinds of frames like Firebirds, TAs, aero pro's, everything!

Strangly, it was the Airwalk stickers on Luc-Es bike that I remembered?
Ok, Ive not got much in my photobucket account, all my scans are on my work PC. So how about this non riding shot:
Name all 5 UK riders- (I might have to help you with the one in the shadows at the back)

Correct, correct, correct.
The other 2 at the back are both OG Union guys.
-
didnt realise that jon pratt was in that pic i havent seen him in years
-
few clues about the 2 at the back.
The first one has been on the Bicycle Union web site in the last few weeks.
The one at the back was a mini and Vert ripper, but was more of a flat land rider.
-
This one's doing my head in!!! Is it Stuart King next to Jon Pratt?

Amos?

Older than stu, less Northerly than Amos

Lemsip?
-
....any more clues?
