Not a Walthamstow boy, I'm from West London but met Andy R and Cav at Harrow where I used to skate. Got to know them really well and often went to ride hollow ponds and the red rec as well as Eastway with them once I swtiched to BMX. Raced a lot of the early races like Buckmore park on the wooden ramps and then the dirt track, Eastway, Ladbrook Grove and many others.
RATTY:
we must have met up at some time mate, the rec was where I spent almost every evening of my life.....
Eastway, chatham the hollow ponds.....
Been to eastway and the hollow ponds recently, the sugar bowl has been trashed over the ponds and eastway is just a wreck now
I may have to go down to chatham one bright sunny day....if we get another bright sunny day

yes bill i joined my partner when i was 17 and started to paint a load of bmx frames from superbike witch kieth the owner had bought from ace about a year or so earlier, this is mad because paul spurr my old manager on superbike race team took over the day to day running of superbike and didn't know that i had just started painting for a living, anyways painted loads of ex stock including bars forks chainrings all loud colours and one i done was a pink frame with dots all over it witch made it in one bmx mag, don't know wicth one but one member on hear must have a copy, also jason spurr son of paul any one know how he's doing, would love to speak to him again. ps just remembered the frame we painted was pink with spots but not sure what colour, was a race frame and i'm sure it was jasons and probs between 84 to 86, defo in some bmx mag of that era, jason was my team mate and a top young rider and i'm sure this was some kind of promo,
DR VINOAH:
