lincoln blacksley, yep he was quality flatlander.  Radhab cheers for those mansfield pics, i have only ever seen the vid of the comp.  Is it me or was hoffmans normal backflip high.  I am sure this is for debate, todays flairs are so different to the ones hoffman pulled.  he like did the whole flip and then pulled himself round 180, now they just do a corkscrew motion and just about go upside down!!!!  i persoanlly think this was hoffman at his peak.  Well good to see a pic of olly good friend of mine, went riding with himthe other week and he also shared why he gave up, another storey for another post...  Bit strange i can't believe i was there now!! crazy! any more pics, bestwicks front wheel after his 900 attempt!!!

I have some more that i'll post a bit later, i would imagine Ollies reason for giving up was/is a lot like the rest of us, He used to go so big though, glad he's still riding a bit. Yeah Hoffmans backflips were that high but it was all still in the experimental stage as such back then and you'll remember what the reaction was to flair as well then!!!!! the crowd went fecking nuts hence the pictures being blurry!!
Who else did you ride with BITD???

Hey Stevenage Kid,  next time you see Ollie, say hello to him for me. He'll barely remember me, but he came and rode my vert ramp back in 94  (the Upminster Barn Ramp) a couple of times. Right around the time he had Chase Gouin staying with him if i recall correctly.  He had a big slam at the end of the session one time, turndown to lever stuck in kneepad...... :shocked:

Rob Steele.

Sh!te piccy but here's the ticket!

stevenage kid:
Rob i will, yep he had chase stayin with him and paul oscika, i have to say it was bizarre, one minute you were watching dorkin in york and next min your riding flatland upstairs at bowes with him...  i have to say my flatland improved for a couple of months (only)..  Well i was a resident down at bowes lyon (stevenage skatepark) for 7 years on and off.  I mainly rode with (tall scott) as he was known and nick prutton, he was just simply rad.. but we always had visitors, rob alton, phil dolan and lincoln and his whole rom crew, like gerry galley.  other regs were the st neots lot, mr clever curves himself, chilley ect..  Another guy who was quality a black guy called Doug ( if someone knows where he is or who i mean!!  We had a quality vert ramp there for years..  Ollie used to own that..  11ft easily, big carves, loads of lip tricks. Mason was regular.  For all the racers out there Nick Lacey was a good friend of mine...  also a bloke named juice, who was crazy...  i remember your name etc, wern't you sponsored and did some magazine work etc..
