lol he doesnt look much different today.

It cracked me up when I first showed up at Brandon. The kids didn't believe I had been racing for over 12 years. I wasn't THAT old but I was still terrified was terrified at first of talking to you guys lest your parent's thought I was some kind of pervert..:)
Being a surfat rat i was always wearing my Jimmy Zs and/or Quicksilver gear and I probably stuck out like crazy
I still have one of the trophies I giot there too somewhere in storage
-
More odds and ends.

ooooooo looky my name,i am not even sure i finished that season as i went on the road but still eneded up with a trophy .
tim gregory came over from norwich on the train so we could do jumps ,pracice and have a good giggle
i still see him from time to time a great lad.
-
It appears that my results were worse than I remember :(
In later years Tim had an orange powdered Hutch pro, coolest lookin bike ever in my opinion.
-
i dont think i ever bar once lost a race at brandon the 1 was on the last berm kevin sykes ran into my back wheel and the chain snapped lol
-
Another thing I remember is telling the kids that I had about 500-600 trophies at the time. They didn't believe me but I tried to explain that that was only about 40 trophies a year and that included hacks, 20" and sometimes cruiser and that was racing anywhere from 3 to 5 times a week. In other words, not very many after almost 15 years of racing
-
look at dan top of the list :4_17_5: LOL.
them were the days eh dan?
-
i could hardly even get around track nowadays ;D
