Post by: tricknuts on January 15, 2006, 09:22 PM: I presumed it was Carlo, especially from the height, but i didn't think it looked like his style.

Title: Re: old school photos
Post by: RADHAB on January 15, 2006, 10:04 PM: Not Mike (Wrong way), not Carlo (too Scrappy), cant be a Skyway rider that far back either, he's not in Uniform!! The style is very Pepi Winder but i think he was still with Vincent then.

Could be Eddie Roman, he's the only one i remember with the purple two tone beat but the style is very Nick Martin, dont ever remember him riding for skyway though????

I'm glad it's not me that doesn't know! i also thought it might be pepi. I can't think of anyone else on the skyway team that got that kind of height. The comp looks like a regular UKBFA round, so would eddie Romain be in any of them?
Title: Re: old school photos
Post by: RADHAB on January 16, 2006, 10:41 PM: If it was a show after a comp it could've been Eddie. Cant think of anyone else in the uk it couldve been, i've saved the pic so unless someone else knows who it is i'll ask Mike next week.

Post by: yoda on January 19, 2006, 08:13 AM: Yep thats Livingstone park way back. I first thought of Pepi when I saw that pic but cant remember which direction he airs, only other person that comes to mind with that style is Tony Mcenzie........maybe 'Ramp Rat' can shed some light here?
Title: Re: old school photos
Post by: fraz167 on January 19, 2006, 08:50 AM: i remember Pepi riding a purple beat like that....if you remember he had a pic in Action \bike doing a very rad No Foot One Hander...

Post by: fletchy baby on January 19, 2006, 06:40 PM: pepi winder.

the guy seems to be wearing a pair of goggles on his helmet + the bike seems a bit similar to the one he rode at bmx beat
Title: Re: old school photos
Post by: coasterbrake on January 19, 2006, 07:18 PM: The Skyway rider in the first pic definately is Pepi - you can just make out his 'Rock Bars' with the square top tube
Title: Re: old school photos
Post by: andy619 on February 03, 2006, 07:03 AM: I'm pretty sure it's Pepi.
