Cheers Damon - awesome pictures dude, love the one on the Vincent Ramp, that was a killer of a ramp and not many other than Pepi could ride it that well - respect mate!

Slightly dissapointed you had a Blue Grifter and wore black Docs though, everyone knows Red Grifters were faster and Ox Blood Docs were harder  ;D

Thanks for putting them up mate, much appreciated!

Speak to you soon.

Yep - that's a mini Bell Moto 3, I still have it round my mums house, great lid. I was a big Fiola fan and always loved early pics of Fiola in a Bell 3.

Quality pics Damon, and a great thread  :daumenhoch:
I see you stand like greyhounds in the slips,
 Straining upon the start. The game's afoot:
 Follow your spirit, and upon this charge
 Cry 'God for Harry, England, and Saint George!'

Take care mate - Damon

I quit racing mid nineties and raced mountain bikes for quite a few years just for a change of scenary after the race scene got all political.  I've had a bike still all these years but haven't been that into it even though I have a bike shop, but i've recenlty got mini and junior rippers for my kids and we've been going down the track so i've got teh bug again!  Great to hear from you mate, have you still got your Ninja Scooter?  I've not got my Ninja F1 bike but i've got my lycra suit!  Man that guy used to pay us a fortune to do all that crap!

Totally top pics Damon - you were totally amazing mate - I was such a twat to get out of it before Chingford as those shots always just blow me away - you, Tony, Jason, etc - I remember them from RAD and looking at them and feeling depressed cos I was out of it (made me go get a skateboard so it wasn't so bad in the end) - also the fact that it became a hot underground sport and meant you guys got free tickets to Delerium etc was even more fooking annoying ha ha

pleased and amazed to see that one of me up there as I actually remember it now but I never kept any of that session - have you got any more of any of us? if so please send to ralph.tribe@hotmail.co.uk so I can prove to my kids that I used to have some mates and be somebody ha ha ha -  I'm going to try and dig mine out now....

someone was asking for a picture of Steve's legs - well you're in luck - Steve and his massive legs are in the background on one of the Rom shots

cheers

Hey Ralph - great to hear from you. I'd love to see what pics you did up from that era. I'll see if Tony has any pics too. Do you still have those mini video's we made at the skateboard ramp and Nonsuch Park? Great times man!
You're still the Guru of the gang.  :daumenhoch:

lowlife - I was the bog rat, I think Nick Phillips or Jess Dynoforce came up with that one - Dave Burrows is out in LA, California working in the clothing business.
