yep its a speedway stadium, chris was towed behind a moterbike and had so much speed he cleared the 7 cars and the landing ramp, his bars went forward on landing and he crashed hence the ripped top.
he said it was his worst crash ever.
i'll ask him where it was next week as i can't remember.

I agree, Looks like the college in the background and there used to be or still might be a flag pole in the car park.

Ill have a look Sunday when I take the liitle'n there on her BMX.

If it is you gotta Hawk eye.

Loving the pics, I was at Norman Park when Chris did that jump. There was a huge sense of relief in the air when he cleared all those cars, at the time it was a huge jump to anything I had ever seen.

Correct me if I'm wrong did'nt his Mum and Dad have a bike shop in Lee High rd, Lewisham, Youngs cycles?

Thanks for sharing  :nuts:

no the shop in Lee High road was owned by Steve Young (no relative to chris) Chris's dad Dave was a roofer and builder mainly but turned his hand to many thngs.
I was the manager of Youngs BMX in Lee High Road in 1985 at the age of 19  :) before that i worked at Chris Compton Cycles in Catford.
