No mention of the main man yet..... Mr Eddie Fiola his yellow pro performer was the stuff of dreams!!

I'm on the look out for another frame at the mo got a load of NOS parts ready for another build. Dia compe MX 901's, A'me tri grips, sugino chain ring & spider etc etc

& I spend far to much time drooling over bikes on bmxmuseum.com(clicky).

The full hands up from me Im afraid.

I was UK Number 6,sponsored by Maximum Racing USA (Same company as CW who made the famous flat topped bars).This was back in 1984.
I rode for Farnham BMX Team,Surrey.Magna MustangsMannington Heath,Verwood Dorset.Poole Panthers,Poole,Dorset.UKBMX and NBMXA race certified too.Blush!

My freestyling was more plain idiotic than done with style.I would do drop ins from garage roofs,jump 10 BMX frames and six milk crates,landing on a pavement by a main road,get 17 feet of measured air up on Chobham Ranges,Surrey to name but a few....

Harry Leary (Diamond Back) and Bob Haro (Haro) as a freestyler were my main men I looked up to.

Oh,and Portsmouth Skatepark rocked then too!
Never did make it to Romford.Bah!
