rich4130 Posted June 22, 2008 Report Share Posted June 22, 2008 Not jumping on the 'I knew him' bandwagon, buut.. I saw him ride twice, saw him do the mental drop gap in bristol and he was a name and a person to remember in my head as being something special. Tragic loss, condolences to family, friends and everybody who knew him better than I did. RIP. Rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Duck Posted June 22, 2008 Report Share Posted June 22, 2008 Been thinking about him all day today. Still haven't really come to terms with it. Waiting for somebody to say it was all made up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reinold Posted June 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2008 We were going to organise a nottingham ride, soon, weren't we. Grant Hundley again, Notts could be a possible place for the memorial ride? As you said, he was going to arrange a ride there. To be honest, all this stuff about being the best place for everyone to get to is annoying me, its meant to be a ride in memory of Beau, not a big group ride just for the hell of it. I'm not going to keep on txting his sister about the funeral, it must be hard enough for them as it is. His sister said that she will tell me when it is so when she does, i will let everyone know. Was thinking of him all day in Bristol, was riding for him. Did some stuff that I wasn't near doing before. RIP. Will keep everyone informed about the funeral when I find out about it. xxxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Such a shame that yet another one of us has gone. RIP Beau. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MadManMike Posted June 22, 2008 Report Share Posted June 22, 2008 Another member I never met, but it's still a big shock. After DJ passed away I'm always a lot more on the ball when I'm out, I never used to be. I also used to go silly driving with friends out on country roads but after Oli's tragic accident I always tell my friends to drive carefully and actually almost smacked one of my friends because I told him to slow down and he actually sped up - people like that annoy me. Live your life like every day is your last, but be careful guys - losing so many young people is awful, let's not have any more eh? RIP Beau.

Reinold Posted June 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2008 (edited) Grant Hundley once again... Beau was just a really amazing friend. had loads of good times together. like we were in worcester doing a bit of riding, and he liked the look of these two girls. went over had a chat to them etc, got on well with them. then along comes a wasp... Beau dropped his bike, ran off (like a women ) screaming 'get it away its guna sting me ahhh' and another were just about to load up fatmikes car with bikes (were coming to dj ride) and he just came out with 'mike, is it alright if i say that we're rolling deep in an audi' in his funny voice trying to talk like a gangster he used to come out with a lot of random stuff that made me laugh. I just want him to come online and saying something like 'grant my king is f**ked, fix it for me?' Just want all this to be a lie. He's going to be missed so f**king much xxxxx Edited June 23, 2008 by Reinold Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BenLeacock™ Posted June 23, 2008 Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 Just been having a think thought all my memories. Some really touching ones. All to do with differnet bits of bikes. Firstly chris king hub, it was soo quiet, beau's msn name was: Beau: 51'' sidehop today YEAH BOI : MY KING HUB IS SOOO LOUD.! So i go, beau what did you do to get it so loud, stretched the spring, how do you clean it out, he told me man he was there for everything i ever wanted. Then his name a different day was ''gu crew'' just talking away having banta, beau can i join the gu crew, erm you got anything gu on your bike ? No mate haa, erm well go buy something So i did ha, a gu lever blade Man some of the greatest convasations ive ever had on msn were with this guy, i REALLY wish my chat logs saved All the times i'd say something completly random like, beau send us a pic of ur bollok... he would just go: man it is sooo big swollen and i managed to have sex, then next min there was a pic. Onastly man, ill never forget you dude, really wish I'd known you for longer. Man miss you ALOT Rest in peace mate xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rush Posted June 23, 2008 Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 Hey guys. This just got cross posted at observedtrials.net, and I just wanted to express my sympathy for all the crew that knew him, and for his family. Its a horrible thing to hear of young people dying, especially trials riders. Our collective trials hearts go out to the crew in the UK. Cheers, Tobe.
