Ramp Rat: Crackin pics man, really takes me back to the milk crate ramp days, im sure i have some similar pics too, will get tham scanned.

All my mates had Grifters but I had this Bright Orange thing called a Phantom, anybody remember them?

Christ, first bike a Phantom and last bike a DP Freestyler - you'd think i'd lived on a council estate, i didnt - we had a back garden and everything, honest!  :D

gudge:
Great story Mike! I remember having to go shopping with my mum when i was a kid, so i used to sneak off and stare at those Murray's in halfords shop front. Never got one like.
So when is someone gonna do a Stacey Peralta Dogtown style Bmx documentary! Surely the likes of Mr. Pardon and his amazing memory will feature.

Ramp Rat:
Couple more pics. of Sutton Rec. Check out the Tracker Boy on top of the ramp...he's thinking, 'screw this Tracker, I'm gonna get me a Raleigh Burner'  8)

Yeah, I'm a Sutton boy, learned to jump down at the Devils Dyke in Cheam Nonsuchpark, then migrated to the Rec in Sutton, Stuntmaster showed me the link to BeerMX 4130, very cool web site, I saw a pic of A BLOKE jumping at Ewell Castle bowl, way cool! I saw the sad pics of the Rec being bulldozed.

MegaMike, are you Mike Mullen? I saw some pics on the BeerMX site, f@#% well high no hander, wicjed style. Nice to see the spirt live on from Sutton Rec. It used to be Jason Lunn, Tony Mackenzie, Ralph Tribe, Steve (Crazy Leggs) Baldry, Darren Crisp etc. back in 1982.

the ramp at sutton was the there after 85 ,i can`t remember when but i rode it and everyone else did untill it got unsafe and the council knocked it down a few years later .it was a strange ramp as it was on a hill so mega fast out of one side and slow out the other also it was 2 ft off the ground .a few of my friends used to get 7 foot out of it and boy that looked scary on such a small ramp .
good times wish i had some pics but don`t
