Hey guys,
I'll try and track down Steven O'brien for ya! :coolsmiley:
I remember Jamie Hales very well. I was a big fan of his. Thats why I rode (and still do) a supergoose.
Darren. It's so cool to catch up with you. I hope everything goes well for you in Japan. Good stuff mate!
The signature on my plate is Bob Haro's from his tour out here. I got him to sign it at Metro west one night when he was there. I'll never forget that race you had with Stu Thompson, Man that was the best race I've ever seen. We had a lot of good times at Blackton between motos. Remember the jumping we did on the new start hill and bunnyhop comps? Good times.
Chat soon.

am new here too came across the site looking for an old bike to buy (god only knows where the urge came from) anyhow i remember mike and andy from pontins morecambe, i must have been 13 and was just getting into bmx. I think mike had a little thing going with my mates older sister, seem to remember andy was trying to get into my older sis's knickers and she was having none of it, i was gutted! mind though he had a seriously dodgy haircut.
Was it mike or andy who had the back pedal brake with a shimano seat post clamp to secure the bar. I think mike sorted with the shop he used for them to supply the same for me. ACS Z rims with beefed up spokes and the back pedal brake hub, etc. I thought i was so cool back home and could pull some great tricks but also nearly broke my neck a few times landing from big jumps.
Top site, off to look for some old photos! ;D
