Shires show pics































I went up to the Shires show near Telford.
It was OK with a cool attitude and some good bikes.
My favourites were a Triumph Chop and a Flathead Servicar style trike.
The Yamaha with a Flat tracker style ruled as well.
I didnt win anything , not a sausage!

Independent UK tour



I went to Birmingham last Autumn to skate with these guys.
They didn't want to play. Only Haslam, Potter and Stu Graham
represented real good. A lot of people were dissapointed.
On Epic Vert ramp it was as if we were doing a demo for them!
Anyhow here are the best bits.
What went down at the old Harrow
halfpipe on the end is especially gnarley!
Its got 999 as the soundtrack - Bonus!

Banbury Bash


Before the Bulldog Bash for me it was the Banbury Bash.
Annual national skate contest on Mon Barbours Farm in Oxfordshire.
I got 6th place that year.
This was my first Big photo in the UK magazines during the
Mid 80's resurgence of skateboarding. The Edge magazine 1986

Indy and Santa Cruz


I've been visiting the Independent and Santa Cruz Euro warehouse
in Wales.
Hanging out with the Brand manager Ally Barr
while the art guy took some photos of my bike for a
Cruz catalog and I went riding with Ally (Pics Later).

Thanks for the freebies you guys.

Clothes, A shot glass, stickers,
hip flask, magna lites, rolling papers,
fridge magnets etc etc.....
I know it"s sad but this stuff really floats my boat!
