I actually grew up in canterbury during the years 1988 - 1994 and remember that bus depot real good.
Saying that I am not sure of the time frame that you are refering to the 2 guys as I dont think either were from canterbury (I dont remember those bikes)
The biggest name I know of that came out of canterbury was "Fids - aka mark finlay" as he lived there for a while with a guy called "Jez"
close by (town = selling) in the eary 90's lived a guy called "Charles Kensit" who was mosstly a flatland rider who did the southbank quite alot and was fairly ok at street too .... he used to ride a dyno or a prolite craig cambell frame.
Close by in Ashord during 1992 onwards we saw riders like "Dean Hearne" who is nowadays sponsored by federal/united.
During the late 80's early 90's there was "James Mulby" from Kearsney near dover who rode flat and street.
He had a freind from folkestone called "Mark Guy" who also rode flat.
And there was some other mostly flat rider from Margate? who was real short and rode a master (i think his name was pete )
I met a vert rider (mike?) arround 1990 who came to canterbury from tunbridge i think or somewhere between canterbury and london on the train line.
I cant remeber any good vert riders that rode trickstars or masters from arround that time though from canterbury.

Hi all

I saw Mason on Friday and we had a good chat (still haven't written anything up yet sorry :-[ ), he has around 20 old videos of Knebworth, ROM, Kellogs, Bob and his comps etc etc. I was going to talk to him more about it and also hope to see his private collection of stuff too. Does any of this sound of use?
