he put 120% into the the 900's. unfortunately the trick would result in some hefty slams.

Scott and I had a lot in common. I loved hanging out with him at comps. I truly miss him. Until we meet again in the after, I will always have the fondest memories.

Scott inspired some of my best airs, and the nose pick drop in. We hung out at the Trumpton ramp and always had a good battle at the old BFA comps even though we were best of friends, a real good guy. Sad news to hear he's not with us any more. RIP m8.

I remember Scott use to come and ride the halfpipe in Camdean/Rosyth outside Dunfermline, he always seemed to go to Edinburgh to go to Quarterback for a new t-shirt on the way.

Just before he got sponsored by Skyway he had the Streetbeat in purple and whitem hutch stem, chrome ukais and woody basr (i think), i thought that bike was awesome.

Does anyone remember the letter in Action Bike from Scott, a couple of pics of him riding his own ramp.

Cheers
Fraser

I drifted away from the scene probably about 91, can't rememebr where i heard this but i thought he had given up riding and got into snowboarding. then several years later saw Scott Caroll (RIP) in Invert/Ride, it was a real shock, as Scott was always a really positive person.

Last time i saw him was at Dundee factory and he was in his very moded Beetle with loads of girls hanging around it  :)

RIP Scott.

I would love to see more pics of him, anyone remember is One Handed No Footer on his purple Streetbeat when he started travelling south to the UKBFA comps.

I had drifted away from bmx by the time Dundee Factory was up and running, was still riding on and off, but used to be up there skating regularly.

I remember Scotts monster wall rides up there.
