Wingy, Pete McNeil, Snoz, Lija..... Where are you?

[Paul Davidson]

Trying to find some old friends. I've been living in America for the past 15 years. Finally coming home and was hoping to hook up with some of the old boys.
Any of the old skaters from Manchester... Crav, Femi etc ... & any of the old BMXers... Harry, Chris Hamer, Jon Taylor.
Saw a few familier names on here so hello to everyone and glad to see people still keeping in touch!

wingy is now working for globe shoes and jon taylor is working for 70's bmx importers........as for the others, I've not since/heard from them in a long while.....check all the other posts in the forum and it may lead to you to some info.....

[Paul Davidson]

what's 70's BMX Importers, i did a search but couldn't find anything. Do you have a number?
Thanks!

Hi Paul, I bumped into Nerk a few weeks ago at a juggling convention, he still skates and still lives in Nottingham. I've got some contact details somewhere I'll try and dig them up.

The last of the Manc lot I saw was Chris about 7 years back.
Other than that I think Harry was involved with a bike program on some cable/extreme sports type deal, I only caught a bit of it it had a fair few clips from 'Dorkin in Yorkshire'.

Hope all goes well.
Sean

Add to that list Barney, Gooey and Justin Rawcliffe.

Myself, I moved to Perth in Western Australia, run a graphic design business
and attempt to surf in my spare time.

You still skatin?

Gooey Lives in New Zealand Now..Barney popped up a few years ago with John Nixon.

i  remember walking through a shopping centre in farnbrough with a  team manic t shirt on.

No soft fat southern bastards on this team.


felt a little vulnerable

I liked the 'More a bunch of pissheads than a skate team' Tees.

Pretty much summed it up.

Alright Wheels and Justin,

Yeh some old familiar names cropping up on here.

Wheels, you gotta mean the Garstang library bank right?

That bank and the ramp at yours (Justin),
definitely up there with all time my favourite skate spots.

[Paul Davidson]

Hey Nic! How,s it going? This website is the maddest thing, it's like a time machine. Are you still in Oz? Justins ramp was killer. Probably the first indoor mini  .
I was reading on another post that Harry opened up a skatepark in Manchester. We should try and find everyone and have a massive reunion.

Sean, good to hear from you too. I was right near your old house when I was in England last year.  Down by the Shell station where we had that waxed curb about 20 years ago before there was even waxed curbs. How's Ged doing? You still riding or anything? I was weird being back there, first time in 13 years. I dragged my kids all over town looking at all the old spots.  I wouldn't mind coming back over again this year if I can scrape the money together.

P.

[nic hanson]

Alright Paul,

Still down under in sunny Perth WA. Been here just over a year now
and alls good.

What you up to? Are you still in San Diego? I vaguely remember last seeing
you in a sneaker shop in Manchester and you saying you had been out that way.

I could be wrong my memory is a bit sketchy
