In Sydney where I used to live, the best bowl was Fivedock. I lived there every saturday and sunday. It was a 2 hour trip on a train and riding. It was worth it though.

I'm sure we've probably met then because i used to go with Dean Rush and the Zoid, also rode with Lee Reynolds and Mike Canning there a few times and that would've been around 87-89. Wonder what ever happened to Graham Marfleet, always seemed like a nice guy and good rider. Stopped going there when someone tried to mug me and a couple of mates at the train station and my mate threw one of the muggers on the track!!!! never went back after that!
-
i had some interested times what with muggings at meanwhile 2 and meanwhile gds as that where i got done and nearly lost my haro master . also had a mad time once at southbank what with a group of people trying to mug us but luckly for us i knew agu bubu very well as rode a lot of flatland with him bitd and he helped us out and the tosser`s never touch us again . the dean i knew was dave dean he was a friend of howard`s i think real nutter on bmx doing fake wall rides on anything .
-
Has to be Southbank really. The first place that I really felt I fitted. I used to go there with Paul Zak, and Paul Gerlach. Loved it. Then met Aju, Colin Platts, etc all. The Romford, and then Chingford. Rom was ace, but the Chingford lot were just sooo funny. I think Davros is still in the scene now. I got my head cracked at Southbank by Jason Lunn. In hindsight, we were both a couple of w*nkers, so I don't harbour any I'll feelings to him.
Also, going to get a new bike once I get my Bonus in March! Had far too many solicitors bills lately to buy a bike before now :'(
-
got to be Threesisters for me,but if i wans'nt there
the woods in winstanley,wigan,we had a mini race track,with

Yes it was, I have some old pics from BITD, I just don't know how to download yet. I think I still have some pics from a ramp jam at Chinford, the same day as the picture of Ramp Rat in his avatar. I know I have one of Dean Rush's face slam. I will try to post some soon.
-
Dean was brilliant at using his head to stop on the flat bottom, he did the same thing again at Chingford!! He is still as mad as that and now works as an artist.
-
Hounslow track, and Rom.
Every Saturday...use my paper round wages (all £5 of it), to get a 1 day travel card, and then get on the tube at Hounslow West, and do the 30 odd stops to Elm park.
Have a couple of quid left for a couple of hot dogs, couple of cans of coke....and whatever was left went in the Paperboy arcade game.
6 hours of riding later.....and riding up that hill to Elm Park was always a right killer ! :D

How comes hes got all those pads on his elbows and knees but didn`t protect his head :idiot2:
-
Maybe his helmet was new and he didn't want to sctrach it. ;D I don't think any of us were wearing helmets for the first hour or so, until Dean spanked.

Andy I do believe this is you :

Yep, that's me. I just found that mag along with a bunch of old school pics about a week ago. I found this site about 9 days ago. funny coincedence. Sooo...how many 20 year old mags do you have? How have you been Billy?
-
Got a few Andy, been trying to buy all the ones I thought I might have been in so you get a few extra :idiot2:
Do you still ride ? I started again in August 03 after a 20 year lay-off and am really enjoying it, apart from the injuries that is :crazy2:
I should think there are a fair few others that should know you on here, and now they know who you are perhaps they will chip in :daumenhoch:
All the best
Billy

well done bill i did think the same, always remember that front cover just loved that yellow performer. welcome aboard andy
-
Thanks for the welcome. I haven't riden since 1993. I kinda got burned out and doing shows and competitions just weren't paying the bills, so I had to get a job. :'( My future brother-in-law Mike Perenti (dirt jumper and street rider) gave me a Giant frame and fork and a bunch of other parts but I haven't put them together yet. I would love to build a Pro-lite/Craig Campbell bike, my all-time favorite, to play around on. I wish I never gave that frame and fork away.

Back in the day I used to ride most nights down at the southbank 87-89 with Aju Bubu thats where I first met Andy Brown and all the other guys but we used to go to all the other london spots Chingford Meanwhile 1&2 Rom etc fun times.
