ORB:
We have heard a lot of speculation and hear say about him,

But, where is he now?

Steve P:




He was my local Skate Park King in Gillingham, Kent

Here's a story for you all . . . . . . . .

I was over my local park in Maidstone with my brother and friends grabbing big air from a huge valley we all called the "Bomb Hole". Local Maidstone ladz will remember this place

Next thing this dude rides over in full Team Ammaco strip riding a Freestyle King and says, "Hey guys, where's the new skate park"?

Yep, it was Glyn Lewis and we took him over to what our local council described as a skatepark. In fact, it was just a long, thick rubber mat laid down for the kids to roll down on their skateboards. For BMX, it was totally naff and only good for manuals, etc

Anyway, all was not wasted as we decided to show Glyn some of our local freestyle hot-spots and had a wicked time for the rest of the day. We even stopped at the local Ammaco HQ and used their quarter pipe for several hours

Hey, I also remember we stopped off at my house for refreshments and me Mom made us all a salad. Bless her heart !!!

If you are out there Glyn you will probably remember this day out. As far as I can remember it was 1983 ish

Does anyone know where Glyn is now???

I have heard various disturbing rumours about Glyn too . . . . . . . . !!!!

retrorider.u.k:
last thing i heard on glyn was that he had spent some time at her majesty's pleasure

Steve P:
Yeah, that's what I heard and for reasons I'd prefer not to discuss  >:(
