Mike Aitken does loads of them in his section of Fit Life. Most of them are 180s tho.

I was watching Road Fools 15 and Roundabout 2 last night...there were loads being done - they are real sweet and seem to be coming back into fashion now...rad.

Love doing them on ramps (like in my avatar) Fastplants is what we used to call em... one of my fav tricks very skate oriented. Didnt Bestwick do fastplant into flair or something???

Ride Mons! I used to sleep on the ramp most weekends from about 85! I just found a stack of old mags with loads of Mons Jams in them. I will try and scan them amd post them up soon.
Yes, they're airwalks. Not sure Id call them early, they were about my 4th pair, ha ha.

Hey Alex thats a great shot man I like it, incidently the ramp Im on was taken around 90-91 in San-diego and belonged to some skater kid with initials DW ??? It was truly a pleasure to watch him rip the thing to bits :daumenhoch:

Scan them and post them pronto Alex. Dave, that fastplant in your avatar is absolutely awesome.

Cheers Andy ;)

Hey, Andy. There you are! I really did just find ALL the mags that I was trying to find when you were over here. I wish we could have looked through them all with you. I knew I hadnt got rid of them, they were all in another pile, all the BMX Action bikes, RADs, Inverts, and a few other strange short lived UK mags that had Mons, and Oxford coverage in them. Its quite a bit of scanning but I will get on it soon.
Any chance of you posting Mons shot of me youve got, the one with my face all mashed up? Ive never seen it.

I will scan the picture in this weekend and post next week. That reminds me, I still need to scan and post that picture of Ian Osborne, I loved the 80's :2funny:
BTW Alex, your fastplant looks awesome to, but the camera angle and extension of Daves is :4_17_5:
-
Andy, did you see the pic of Ian Oz I posted the other day?

He ruled, Dave rules, the pics of you at mons rule!!! Oh its all a big love in!

I'd agree with that - lets see a bigger version of that pic Dave - wasn't that around the time when your hair went big and curly? Or was that a year or two later?
