Dug out some more of my pics from the Kelloggs 84 Tour at Wigan and spotted this one.
Got the magnifying glass out and lo & behold it says 'Billy Stupple' on the front of the number plate!
I presume it is you Billy in your traditional 'trying to pull your bars and stem out' style ;D

nice shot. Actually it looks like he's just landing a front flip :)
-
while the bobs have their invisible yo yo comp
-
That was in the height comp with the limited run up, thats either the one before or the one after the big bail which I am most fondly remembered for :(
I think I`m just trying my hardest to get back into the ramp :idiot2:
-
ave another go billy
-
lol
-
That ramp looks so dodge.
Mustve been a mare to try and air on that !
-
It was quality back then Alex :coolsmiley:
-
bill are you trying to avoid hooking up? i can never tell :LolLolLolLol:
-
its a real mystery why it toook about 15 years before we decided to build ramps wider than the bikes. :)
How high can you get nowadays Bill? Could you replicate that air now?
-
I managed to get 5ft out of Satans Toilet last year, thats higher than I got on my one visit bitd, but can get around 4ft or so elsewhere. Need to get some more practice in, hense the backyard ramp, but I feel like I could get higher now than bitd if I could ride on the same ramp week in week out as the bikes give more confidence than the old school bikes, but that might just be a dream :idiot2:
-
cool. Thats encouraging. I could only manage about 2 ft back in the day, so i guess i don't have so much to aim for. That's great. Its a nice story to hear that 80's Uk legend billy Stupple is as good/or better than he's ever been. Good on ya- Ross

:)them were the days wacked school that just to be there. still one of the best days of my life three sisters 84 :daumenhoch:
-
but that might just be a dream :idiot2:
you'll know it is when you get 8 feet out, then realise you are just wearing your pants
-
Dont laugh a guy did that at the barn jam in 86-87 but in pants just and his converse boots and for some reason a necklace coming out of his nose!!! Was only about 4ft out though!!
