Title: A few class mid school pics and some from the 80's!!!!
Post by: Waddy on August 27, 2009, 07:01 PM
Hi all,

I'm a bit new on here but I've been scanning some of my old pics so thought Id share them with you.

There's some cool KOC pics and some from the 88 (I know this should really be in old school) tizer worlds in Manchester.

Hope you like em!

Got some video stuff to upload soon so will post when I have uploaded it.

Cheers

Waddy

Good to hear you're all liking the pics. I'll try and dig some more out this week and get them scanned. I also have some video that should be ready to post later.

Also good to see a few familiar names and faces on here!

Just to introduce myself and reply to some posts properly, I'm originally from Barnsley but I used to ride with George and all the sheffield riders throughout most of the 90's. I used to test and help (although not very much) design some of the early G-Sport products.  I also rode wakefield REHAB loads and went to KOC every year. Be great to catch up with anyone who knows me on here so please give me a shout.

Sir Chris Job (carambino?)- Great to see you on here mate. Hope you are well! My leg's doing good and it got me round the London Marathon in 4hours 27 mins!! Did I hear right that you are to become a dad???? Congratulations if so! Oh and I hope big Mick's boys dont let you down this season.

Wasn't this the prototype of the "Windstyler"? not sure if it ever made it to production.

Hey Waddy, how you doing? I think I remember you. You have got some photos from the only year I entered KOC (the Standard year), although I went loads of times.



4th photo down...is that fids in the background?

I dont think so. I dont think Fids ever had his seat that high

Me and a bunch of mates used to ride Rehab most weekends around the time they built the rhythm section, I think I remember you, did you mainly ride miniramp? you used to kill it I recall and your bike looked like a g-sport test rig. Hope I got the right person. welcome to the site and great pics.

This is weird. I have an almost identical pic of Andy somewhere. He probably still has a copy of a lookback air at the same ramp the same Summer, probably one of the best BMX shots I ever took. Sadly, over time and house moves, the pics have all disappeared.
Those kneepads were Evolution prototypes. I think they were based on jetskier knee braces or something. Only problem with them was the metal strips that kept popping out of their 'pockets'.

Hey Waddy, can you remember swapping a porno mag ( Razzle I think ) for some GT Performer bars with some dude from the Nottm Broady gang down at KOC 89?
That was me mate.

Found that stuff you put on VIMEO and posted a link on here in the OS freestyle section.

Spotted the Kelvin bank to wall in there too, as well as Broady Banks.

Some of us still ride the banks (Nottm) on Monday nights 'bout 7 youth. Right old laugh.

Got any footage of Chris 'Shubba Shubba' radcliffe???
