Title: Re: Cleethorpes 2017
Post by: That Swan Guy on November 20, 2016, 10:58 AM: In 1972 a spotty young child called Craig wanted a BMX so his father, Gary made him one.

From that moment an institution was born.

The Cleethorpes Team are proud to announce that the 2017 Cleethorpes ride will be a celebration of 45 years of Gary Turner and his involvement in BMX. Come along and meet the Godfather of BMX and the creator of some of the most iconic BMX designs in history on his FIRST EVER visit to the UK.

We also have some VERY special guests covering Gary and his GT brand's history from the very beginning to the present day.

Thank you Alan & John
Title: Re: Cleethorpes 2017
Post by: That Swan Guy on December 19, 2016, 03:55 PM: Come along and meet the founder of GT MR Gary Turner on his FIRST EVER visit to the UK. Along side him will be the current builder of Gary Turner bikes, his son Craig. Coming along also is the undisputed most famous face of GT in the 80s, their poster boy Eddie Fiola. But not many people know that most of the backroom development of the freestyle bikes was done by one of the most flamboyant riders out there, and yes he still rides today. We know him as The Chairman, the one and only Martin Aparijo. But what about today's bikes I hear you say. Well, the latest bike produced by Craig was designed by Martin and is the signature model for no other than Mr Bill 'Cru Jones' Allen.

Come down and meet them ALL on the weekend of July 14/15/16th 2017

Gary Turner....Mr GT himself on his first EVER visit to the UK. Accompanying him will be the man behind the welding torch right now, his son Craig. Representing the glory days we have Eddie Fiola, still the reigning King Of The Skateparks, don't believe me? Ask him yourself. Along side him will be his wing man and the designer of more freestyle BMX than I care to mention, The Chairman, Martin Aparijo. Representing the current is a familiar face, Bill 'Cru Jones' Allen; Craig is making BA bikes right now!!!!

Come along and meet the guys and RIDE with Eddie, Martin and Bill. Last year Martin ran a flatland master class!

Friday 1900-late Dirty Olive perform at The Signal Box (Little Pub).

Title: Re: Cleethorpes 2017
Post by: That Swan Guy on July 21, 2017, 06:21 PM: Thank You to all that attended what was an epic weekender.

I can't state just how blown away Gary and Craig Turner were with how many people turned up but also the variety and quality of GT family bikes that were there. Gary, if any of you got the chance to talk to him one on one, was almost overwhelmed with the whole event. Craig just loved the beer and the culture lol. Bill was the Hollywood star as usual but Martin & Eddie (fully fit this time) smashed the flatland out of the (car) park.

For those who attended the Friday, what a night. A bit surreal really standing in front of the Helltrack fence with Cru Jones!

For those who were present during Sunday's CB Session......wow how cool was that?

I have a couple of L and 8 XL ride Ts remaining if you want one. £20 plus post. Can bring to MK.
