Mike Pardon sent me these great photos from an early 80's demo at Pontins. Thought I'd share 'em with you...

seeing this just makes me want to buy a pair of red and blue sk8 vans!!
When I was born, the world was a far simpler place.
It was all just cops and robbers.
And BMX.

In the 9th picture down, that bloke's about to attempt a drop in with a baby in a buggy.

Ahh, the days before H&S.

That's a good point Dave.

To verify this date, we need to go on to www.duncannorvelle.com and find out from his tour archives when he did a gig there. He's taken time between rehearsals to watch the bmx action (pic 7, far right).
