So apart from motorcycles, I have a massive love of BMX bikes.

I started racing BMX in the early 80's when I lived in the USA and carried on with the racing when my family moved back to the UK in 1982. I raced all over the UK and Europe and was a factory rider for a few of the top teams.

I am now Admin for the UK's biggest Oldschool BMX site (www.radbmx.co.uk), where we have about 10,000 members and we hold big meetings each year.

So here is my collection of BMX bikes ranging from 1976 to present...

I have most of them, I have sold 2.


As for action shots, here is one of me from 1985 when I rode for the GT factory team...

No I am a racer not freestylist (basically I am not skillful enough to do intentional backflips Laughing )

You must either have a massive garage or have them in storage! You should get a photo of them all together, it would be like a bike porn photo!

Did you ever ride MTB? A few BMX pro's went to big wheels and made a decent career for themselves. Brian Lopes, Steve Geall, Jared Graves and Tara Llanes to name a few.

I have them in my loft at home, safe and secure.

As for MTB I have ridden both downhill and 4x also. I have a couple of mountain bikes.

This is my old downhill bike...

Some nice bikes there!

I like the SE Quadangle and the early GT's. Thumbs Up

What class were you racing in when sponsored by GT? I remember Tim March , Andy Ruffell etc, were you racing against those guys?

I was in the 16 year old age group then, I was about 4 years younger than Ruffell and March.

They look nice but after looking at the first one the rest just seem to be a different colour.

Add a basket to the front of your bike and then "E.T. phone home"
