Ollie Matthews..... he was riding through the 90s, he came to my barn vert ramp a few times in 94 (took one of the hardest slames I've ever seen and walked away) and was deffo around later on, seem to recall he hung out with Chase Gouin when he was hiding out over here in 95-6ish. Don't know what happened to him after that, sorry mate :)
