Title: OS Pics - ROM 84/85 - Anybody know these guys?
Post by: Stodgy on August 01, 2005, 03:26 PM
Hello All !

I'm getting lots of requests for more pics, so had another dig around the loft, and found these beauties! I took them, I think in either late summer 1984 or spring 85...just a normal weekend session at ROM. I don't know who the riders were, but they rocked! Does anybody recognise anyone?

Thanks Greg - I've only just got back into BMX and I can't believe how many old schoolers there are! I thought I was the only one who reflected on the good old days (sounding like me grandad now!).

I took so many pics in the 80s...so, there will be more posts soon! Glad you're enjoying them!

Cheers, Dave

well i kind of thought that it might be you ray after you said that.....being a little coy, but then looking at the pics he airs the opposite way to you, ....but funnily the same way as me, and before anyone asks, ive never been that high on a ladder, i 've never aired that big.
