Mark Webb- (Sorry Di) the one to watch for the future without a doubt totally innovative a loy more to come from him i reckon.

Gerry Galley- This man is still awesome and has the best attitude in Bmx i have ever known.

Dordy Dave - For riding at rom, being shit like me and still lovin every second of it.

Me - For being as shit as Dordy Dave and lovin every second of it and still wanting to ride more.

fuzzynod hes older than the hills but everytime he rides he improves and never gives up
rombloke if you can come back from an accident like that and carry on riding when it would be easier to give it up top bloke

Post by: Rombloke on December 28, 2005, 08:10 PM: forget these ex games pros...they do it for a living, they should be good

for me, watching my lad rhys and billybmx (purcell) progress over the last 6 to 8 months has been awsome. so theres two.
who would be my final choice...theres too many, super smooth umpa lumpa, two bobs manuals and canadian type thingys, radhabs cherry picking, stupps 270 airs(scare me everytime bill), the list goes on...anyone thats suffered my sorry arse tagging along all year is an awsome rider in my book

Post by: pkradman on December 28, 2005, 11:43 PM: ok not up to speed on the new riders but been watching the the stuff on extreme over the last yr or 2 ... but the grandfarther Mr Enquist is the all round master without a shadow of doubt come street ,dirt ,or vert ...pure genius!!!
Title: Re: Your top 3 riders of 2005 and why.
Post by: lushbmx on December 30, 2005, 12:05 AM: Gerry Galley ALWAYS FIRST

Stu Clark just cos hes my best mate and runs the southsea street scene and is amazing on a bike .

Joe cox / Tom Blyth , anyone who has seen voices will understand these 2 are the best UK riders you will ever see
they push the limits of bike riding so so far the stuff these guys do is only in dreams of the park rats.
Title: Re: Your top 3 riders of 2005 and why.
Post by: Stodgy on December 31, 2005, 10:22 AM: Morgan Wade - cause no one transfers like that boy...truly mental.

Cory Martinez - makes street look cooler than a cool thing.

Gerry Galley - Rad. And one of the nicest blokes I have the pleasure of knowing - his encoragement since I've been back into riding has been awesome.

(oh, and of course the legend RadHab, Quadrophenia the last of the old-school vert monsters and me ole mucker Fuzzynod - proof that you can teach an old dog new tricks!) ;D

Post by: superbikedan on January 01, 2006, 06:51 PM: my three riders are billbmx, rom kid and little joe stupps, these young kids just keep improving every week, watched billy and reece ride charlton spine ramp today and they were awsome with billy pulling some big airs, one footers, look backs and so on and reece just flying over the spine time and time again, seen these kids from complete beginers to being able to take on any thing, reece with the spine, billy the other week on the curved wall ride at the rom doing it high and smooth,and joe tearing around the place makes me proud, and the funny thing is watching billy and reece compete against each other even though they dont realise. i enjoy watchng these kids to the older riders any day.seen these kids from day one and even remember billys first air on a quater pipe witch was about a foot from the bottom ;D 1billybmx 2romkid 3joestupps
