I never knew him so it's nothing personal... but just being objective about it he almost deserves a medal for being quite so hopeless

Eric probably did crash more than most, but thats because he always pushed the hardest.
Spot on about the style Daz.
Lee Reynolds:
Eric was the first person I ever saw pull a 540... about 4 feet out on a skinny UKBFA quarter-pipe!
Also probably the first person to pull a bike hand plant on vert.
Yeah, he crashed a lot but the videos online don't do him justice.
Thanks for the pics Andy, love the one-footer invert.
Jason Ellis:
It's riders like Eric Steel pushing the limits back in the day why we have young punx pulling big tricks and getting gold medals in the X games today. foam pits? I don't think so, riders like Eric Steel trying and crashing, are those who progressed the sport to what it is today. And he was a cool guy. :coolsmiley:
rosscoe:
