He was at Southsea last year if i remember correctly, i was not there, but i think Radhab mentioned it.

He was meant to be at Sarfsea, but he never showed.

Yes, he allegedly rides still, but i know he had a troubled past (not going into that) and i think it took its toll.

Saw Pepi last at KOC and have spoke to him on the phone a couple of few times since, he as bright and breezy as ever, he is still riding and i hope we'll have him at a few more meets this year. You have top watch that video at Poole in Dorset of the Haro guys and watch Pepi's run to realise how good and what a showman he really was, great rider and a friend and inspiration.

I went to Germany and Holland on a worlds road trip with hime a year or so back. He still rides and parties hard. He broke his axle bailing a massive feeble down the steps of this huge bridge in Koln. Not for the weak hearted - pissed as a C*&*. He is still a laugh a minute and a good rider - when he's on it. Loose in all ways - long live the Winder. I'll try and get him on here.

You`ll be hard pushed to get him on here as he hasn`t got a pc  :crazy2:

He did sign up on the old site but through a friend (together) so he never got to post a lot, but good to hear that hes still riding  :daumenhoch:

Yeah he did.  Somehow we ended up firing a drainpipe full of fireworks at a nightclub and all hell broke loose but it was okay in the end and he stuck around for the finals. 

Pepi still rides a bit.  He was at Worthing with us the other day.  He's got a bird at the minute and seems quite content.  He's got a little section on the DVD I've been working on.
