Title: Name the riders!!
Post by: RADHAB on January 28, 2006, 09:36 PM: Right then just for fun, if there are some real freestyle ecxperts among you this should be fun! I took these pics at the Hoffman 1st Flair comp/show in Mansfield in 1990 and got them put on to disc yesterday so they have never been seen before. All these riders are from the UK and all still ride today. They all also rode BITD as youngsters. Have fun!!!!

Yep first pic is Bestwick and the other Rider is Jason Davies, the reason the pictures are so blurry is because the place was going fecking nuts at all the really good riding from the British Pro's, i had my foot up on the back of seat coz i'd snapped me ankle the night before we went but still rode anyway!!
