Mark W Posted July 31, 2012 Report Share Posted July 31, 2012 This destroyed my head just now - back in '06 I'd pretty much stopped riding trials and was in uni in London riding BMX all the time. One day at Southbank a trials group ride happened to swing by and so I shot some photos. Didn't really know who anyone was, but now know exactly who they are Some of these suck because this was back when I first really started taking photos with off camera flash and all that shit, so apologies for the inconsistency... Random photos of Bessell: Nicky G action: \/ Jonny Jones cameo Phil - can't remember his surname but I know he was/is on here... \/ Fatmike getting involved: Fatmike: Martin from S.A. (I think?), who I seem to remember I later managed to get a stolen bike back for from some pikey kids... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusevelt Posted August 1, 2012 Report Share Posted August 1, 2012 Bessell was in sh*t hot form on his old Simtra steed. Matt Staples, eventually managed to sidehop that wall (1st pic) without the pallet. Sweet photos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tall_Rob Posted August 6, 2012 Report Share Posted August 6, 2012 I remember that ride, was a great day with some epic old skool steads. Martin went back to S.A but did return for a year and a bit. Do you remember he had a really short stem and bars swept all the way back. He had forearms like my legs and just bunny hopped everything, even up to front lol.

isitafox Posted August 12, 2012 Report Share Posted August 12, 2012 Shows how much riding's changed over 6 years ey? Loved the video! Not really, that's exactly how I ride. That Martin guy bunnyhopping to rear is basically me if I had hair! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sponge Posted August 15, 2012 Report Share Posted August 15, 2012 Brings back great memories! I remember that being one of my last London rides but what an awesome one it was. Martin was an absolute beast but a super down to earth guy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
