What time is this all happening?
-
don't worry dude, we aint as fast as we think, sure nobody who saw me on my first outing in 22 years, back in may, would have thought i'd be competitive straight outta the box, gardening gloves and all, don't under estimate yourself, and never put anybody on a pedalstal or youll never beat them (i know that one with a mr llewellyn....he was so my hero, everytime i was in front i fell off, cos i couldn't believe i was beating my hero :'(

wayne shinglton,darren bliss.i remember them only too well dave
-
wayne got me into BMX, lived round the corner from me, he used to come along on his silver streak when i was on a ladies shopping bike...Darren...the only kid i know so spoilt if he was gonna fall off he'd launch the bike so he would hit the deck and get dirty....both fast guys though, particularly Wayne, both gave up before reaching their full potential

This was the first time that i met Buckmore Bat. Martyn Peal said " this is Glendower " and BB said " alright Glen "
The b"%^77d pushed me off the podium that day though...... I was 4th :'(
-
any one think darren bliss looked like Morten Harket (lead singer from A-Ha)?
-
i have many about wayne we used to knock about together going to look him up when im in dover dont think he works away anymore top bloke though asfor darren bliss lived with his auntie she got him what ever he wanted
-
I noticed that Darren Bliss was on friendsreunited about 6 years ago. I tried to contact him on it, but he never replied ???
-
if bliss is in to flash motors il know someone who will know him ill have a look about when im back in the home town with my townies lol more like downies in dover , think this is more a job for magoo as he is local and with that time on his hands when his had his opp come on magoo get your finger out and find the boys of dover
JAY any idea where james molby lives i know his moved as his mums dump was sold in river last time i was there
-
sorry Tony, can't help mate, don't see anybody, and no connections, ask anyone, apart from immediate family, work and racing i am a complete hermit.....No I am not taking the proverbial...its true :-[
-
magoo
this is your chance to take the lead in bringing the oldskool BMX FAMILY of dover together cant u put a sign on the shop door do u know the following get them to call and put my number on it a bit cheeky i know lol
-
take it you've never been into one of our shops, put your phone number up????? we don't even have a public phone line into the shop, let alone advertise our private ones, don't even let thieving scumbags know my sirname, or know which car is mine :LolLolLolLol:
-
ill give up for now but you know ill keep trying we need to sit and come up a list of locals and ill do a bit of home or just put a add in the dover paper its only money lol
-
im rounding up the sheppey boys
-
We could re create the feel of Crabble Athletic Grounds skate board rink in 1983. Peter Bland might turn up with his radio thats about the size of a wardrobe singing out the footie scores. (He is still about, practically running Dover Athletic, thats why they are doing so well. ;D)
Heres a few names that used to get up there, Tony Wittingham, James Molby, Stuart Andrews, Steve Mockle, Neil Kelly, Dave Hoile, Laine Burrett and Paul Knott could turn up and finish the day in casualty. (sorry bruv)
TK
-
Tony, don't forget Keith Walters, running round, giving us mobile target practise to ride at :LolLolLolLol:
Pete bland, had a major thing about singing Stevie Wonder, I just called, when ever i was there with Molby.
-
Hey Mr Glendower, sounds like an awsome get together of kent BMXers. Are you still in contact with the Spillers ?........is George
still detained at her majestys plesure (or was that just a rumour)
PM me your address, I have a SE QLD champs shirt for you to wear at Hersden.
-
Little george in the grey holiday motel :wtf:
-
Hi Gary, Billy Omer see's him sometimes i think as one of his kids plays football. I think he has split from his missus & doesn't live in the same place now. Not sure about if he's keeping out of trouble.
Yes Neil, George did a bit of porridge in about 1995 or so for nicking car parts from that big car compound that used to be near Pfizers!!!
-
which one, the Audi one or the Gefco, peugeot and citroen transporters, that i used to do the imports for when i was just outta school.....but they moved to sheppey, less thieves :D
-
loads more cars imported on sheppey :LolLolLolLol:
-
yep and they used to just sit there with the keys in the ignition, used to get bored on nights and go spinning and handbreaking round the compound in brand new unregistred 1.9 205 GTi's, great fun, oh to be 19 again :LolLolLolLol:
-
if you remember bonehead (tony ellis) rumours he has bounce a hi lux off a railway sleeper and over the fence of the compound :police: :police:
-
crabble is the place well it was in the 80s shit i almost lived there me and tony wittingham used to bunk school and go there we used to pull all the groupie girls there thay were the days ...
peter bland the church yard flasher what a nutter and what about thurnbee his mate even madder we got him to take hid cloths of once and then put them in the middle of the cricket pitch while thay were at lunch funny as fudge i tell u only we could go back to them hot ummers making huge ramps

me not drinking after promised mr magoo id pick him up if they let him out lucky hes not goin to a mental hospital :LolLolLolLol:
-
me and hersden legend mike wells have been sorting the track as best we can today.its dry at the moment and has a new layer of surface on the jumps.would have been nice to roller them in but not possible this weekend.track is riding well but i cant sort the weather i'm afraid.the new surface should protect the track so it does'nt get to cloggy.we've dug a couple of little gullys in the problem areas to help the track drain.gate should be on if the welder blokes comes good on his promise as well.looking forward to weds. :)
-
Sorry All
