Title: Sean Butler, still killin it
Post by: SaMAlex on July 22, 2009, 11:40 AM: I just saw this pic of Sean Butler. So I guess he is still riding then :shocked:

He is doing shows for bmxbikeshow.com which is run by Ryan Brennan, so is very Sheep Hills/HB based

Alex, do you know what happened to Dave Clymer - does he still ride?

Clymer went thro some bad times but is good now. He was at the S&M 20 year party last year and popped into S&M a few months ago (there were some pics on the S&M web site). I dont think he rides much now, if at all.

;D

Surfs up dude, haha.

I used to like his rough style of riding as I used to be a bit messy riding myself, slamming on everything (hit n hope style). I'm smoother these days - kind of have to be - not much much of me left to break in two, haha.

The last I heard of him, Mike was drifting out of BMX, same as many people do. He just stopped being into it.

Mike 'The Middle aged man' Ocoboc ::) bum tis! :-\ :-[

Its odd to think friends you've riden with over the years, comes a day when they just don't ride anymore for one reason or another.

Post by: dialledbikes on August 10, 2009, 10:22 PM: I remember the time The Boy came to a very rainy Backyard Jam (same year as Mat Hoffman) and my Mrs thought he was a teenage girl.
