Reminiscent of Charlie Reynolds, but this guy would have been too old in these photos to be Charlie, but thats who it reminds me of???

Slash?

Indeed it is Slash :daumenhoch: Bugger I thought I would have had everyone stumped :-\

Just been reading Slash's autobigraphy and was suprised to see about 9 pics of him on a BMX. He was apparently listed in a couple of magazines in the 70s as an up and coming rider in the 13/14 age catergory and was ready to go pro once he'd landed a sponsor. But alas he joined some small time rock band (whose name escapes me!!) a few years later :LolLolLolLol:

Initially I thought Slash (I knew Slash raced BMX when he was a kid and he actually met fellow GnR member Steve Adler through BMX), but in that last pic he looks 100% black whereas Slash has always looked mixed race since he became famous in GnR.

Just some relative triva, Charlie Reynolds started racing in around 83, he raced for my families shop (Edwardes) and he never had an afro anywhere near as good as that! I have the best advert ever with Charlie in, i'll scan it for your laughter, Charlie Raced for VDC.

I used to ride with Cecil Johns up in Norcal (he raced for Boss and won the occasional Pro Main) but he died some years ago for those that knew of him and might not have been aware.  Lovely bloke, really clean living apart from a bit of weed, he was superbuffed but very smooth.

Anyone remember S&M dragging Anthony Sewell out of retirement? Anyone remember Sewell racing for Birmingham Wheels?

Just got the Slash book today. what bike is he riding? the writing suggests a Webco but the info on one of the pics says a Cook Bros. Obviously he could have had more than one bike.

Hey, Id forgotten about that Slash video filming thing. I was there riding the ramps that day and they came in and took over the flat bottom so they could mime to that silly musical short. I didnt get any riding in the clip which was a shame but I have got some photos I took of it all going on. It was very strange.

I think that is Keith Treainor doing the headbanging tire tap in one shot. When they were setting up filming, Keith shouted out to Slash (in his harsh NY Accent) "Hey Slash, do you know where you are". Slash replied, "no man". Keith shouted back "Your in the Jungle BABY, your gunna die!" It was classic.

They had a little stand up "X" that they put in the shots. I did an air on the Vert and boned the back wheel near it. Slash said he'd give me $5 if I knocked it over. I did and he said he'd owe me the money.

I tried to give Slash an S&M Shield sticker but he wouldnt take it. He was much more into talking to this strange wanna be rocks star roller blader dude. He even gave slash an inline T-shirt that Slash put on straight away. Gutted!
