There was only one Marco, a Columbian fellow.  I don't recall him ever having a Grifter, the first bike I saw him on was a mongoose motomag weighing about 4 ton  ;D ;D ;D

My mate Duncan rode a grifter in 82 for a summer - used to go through a handfull of cotter pins every session   :2funny: :2funny: :2funny:

I tried jumping that on my motomag once, didn't quite make it tho. Front wheel caught the top :idiot2:. I got a picture of the take off here somewhere but me old man didn't get any of the accident as he was too busy trying to untangle me from the fence lol.

harris:
i can remember jumping the back fence .we all would get up on end about 10 in a row and ride the hole
park fast as poss close together it was mad ,i fell of trying the fence i think one made it over that time then
a big pile up often followed o the good old days nip out to the garage next door fill tyres up and lol about out side
now its all dirty and built up and i had my first race at the rubbish bmx track is it still there.

billstup:
The area where the track was is still there but there`s no track, good area to put a street course though  :daumenhoch:

I did see someone on a grifter a few times down there and if it was you, I've cracked up about it many a time, it was a sort of, 'never mind all them lightweight supa dupa freestyle bikes, I'll show you what can be done on a 'ter ' experience :laugh:
