Title: Re: Can you id this rider?
Post by: Jason Ellis on October 10, 2008, 02:44 AM: Is it Mark Readen? At first glance I thought it looked like Terry Jenkins, anyone heard from TJ? ???
Title: Re: Can you id this rider?
Post by: Lee Reynolds on October 10, 2008, 05:18 AM: It isn't Mark Reardon (RIP)... but I'd like to see some pics more of him please.
Terrence, as he now likes to be called, lived in LA and worked in the movie industry the last time I talked to him... mind you that was probably about 6 or 7 years ago, maybe more!
More pics of TJ please!

Post by: Flatcap on October 10, 2008, 08:16 AM: Terrance is still working in TV in the States, Dave Y speaks to him I think, but not sure how often??

yeh is it scott? ???
Title: Re: Can you id this rider?
Post by: macky on October 10, 2008, 04:24 PM: Nar, Scott aired the other way....

I reckon Jason Hassell... ??
Title: Re: Can you id this rider?
Post by: welsh denny on October 10, 2008, 04:35 PM: not mark reardon. not terry cos he was riding a three tone 87 master (black/yellow/chrome with space bars-they look like haro bars.) this has to be 87 holeshot.
scott carroll was riding a pink/grey tuffs set up plus he aired the oppo way. i know this rider aint on the video footage i have got.
something shouts out it is a french or european rider. don't know why.
Title: Re: Can you id this rider?
Post by: teamsano on October 10, 2008, 09:07 PM: that looks like a redline he's on?
Title: Re: Can you id this rider?
Post by: Lee Reynolds on October 10, 2008, 09:14 PM: Wow!
It's got everyone stumped.
Definitely not Scott, Jason, Terry or any of the other guesses.
It is Holeshot 1987.
I'm pretty sure it's a Redline, and that this rider is English.
This could be way off, but the name that keeps popping into my head is Stephen Bickel... or something like that!
Anyone?

Post by: lodge on October 11, 2008, 09:18 AM: Are yoy thinking of Stephen Bisseker ?
Title: Re: Can you id this rider?
Post by: fraz167 on October 11, 2008, 02:55 PM: Bisseker ripped on flat as well, whoever it is..its an awesome one footer :4_17_5:
Title: Re: Can you id this rider?
Post by: Lee Reynolds on October 11, 2008, 03:40 PM: Yeah, Stephen Bisseker... is that who this is?
Title: Re: Can you id this rider?
Post by: rosscoe on October 11, 2008, 07:31 PM: dont think thats steve bisseker....not sure
Title: Re: Can you id this rider?
Post by: Lee Reynolds on October 12, 2008, 03:41 PM: Hmmm... I've had these photos in my album for years, I'd love to figure out who this is.
I may have another pic of this rider somewhere, I'll check.
I'm really surprised that none know who this is... obviously a decent vert rider!
Title: Re: Can you id this rider?
Post by: yoda on October 12, 2008, 05:17 PM: Hey Lee good to see you on here hope your well. I havn't got a clue who that is in the pics def none of the riders who've been mentioned tho. TJ is still in LA working in the TV industry. He was a network producer for Octane tv when I was out there last year. He has posted on here before too....
Title: Re: Can you id this rider?
Post by: Lee Reynolds on October 12, 2008, 09:47 PM: Dave,
Great to hear from you mate!
Top respect to you.
It's awesome to get back in touch with everyone.
I've been riding a little bit here and there, how about you?
Do you have an email address for TJ?
Give me a shout next time you're in California.
Peace.

I still want to figure out who this rider is... maybe it is someone from the continent.
I couldn't find the Holeshot '87 results online.

Post by: Dollarbill on October 13, 2008, 07:09 PM: I've got the official Holeshot 87 video stashed away in the loft, I'll check it out later and see if that throws up any clues?....

If anyone here has the know how/ability to upload from VHS to PC please let me know and I can post the video for all to see! The only crap thing about it is that the producers decided to dub over the sound with some crap by Genesis for some reason? :-\
Title: Re: Can you id this rider?
Post by: Lee Reynolds on October 14, 2008, 05:07 AM: It's not Graham... but great to see a picture of him tearing it up on vert.
Such an extremely talented bike rider.
We got on a kick of building bike skill courses at the ramp house, kind of like trials.
Bunny hopping, balancing, riding across narrow beams, etc.
Nobody could touch Marfleet!
Title: Re: Can you id this rider?
Post by: yoda on October 14, 2008, 07:28 AM: Pm'd you Lee.

I was thinking of Graham here too guys but wasnt sure..... I reckon its probs someone off the continent. I'll see if Bart at Fatbmx can shed any light on the matter....cos its frustrating me now.....

Title: Re: Can you id this rider?
Post by: tricknuts on August 17, 2009, 08:43 PM: first time i've read this thread.

that was a good "guess the rider". usually someone knows it immediately. we should have more of them..
Title: Re: Can you id this rider?
Post by: Lee Reynolds on August 30, 2009, 01:27 AM: I always thought it was Bisseker (Hello Steven)... but nobody agreed!
Glad to have it cleared up by the man himself :-)
