Re: The Fear

Quote "You appear to have the fear"

Lots of fear. The photographer always seemed to lurk by the bits where I was likely to go over the bars.

The photographer was a guy called Mike Nicholson (RIP Mike) and I assisted him at some of the Gorrick races bitd - he or I probably took that pic.

And yes - we always got a heads up from Jon Lucas of Gorrick as to where the "interesting" spots were. My AluO still wears a GorrickMBC logo.

I was taking pics once of the riders getting some air - one got it wrong - I still got the pic - and ended up stopping his bike as it slid towards me and an expensive camera with my feet.

Has anyone got any from the Quantock races? Going back a bit now as there were non after 1992, though I do remember John Stevenson commentating.

Anyone remember this lot?
Who's the young handsome lad at the back on the right??

I got my first proper bike form there - a 93 Marin Muirwoods...

Took it racing XC - all local though (Ashcombe, Kingswood (OnABike)

It did take me down the Pipeline though during the 94 or 95 Newnham very late at night...

Thought I'd add some to revive this thread. Any former youth riders from the early 90's on here???

Pics are of start of the youth race at BMBP NPS at Sandy Balls, New Forest in 94. Had a great start and slowly went backwards after the lap around the grass field.

My fading memory remembers,
James Allaway - Fat Tracks?
Paul Buchanan - South Western RC
Paul (Henderson?) - Lancing Cycles
Jess Baines - Liphook Cycles
David Williams - VC Deal
Alan (Noble?) - Dorset Rough Riders
Elliot Baxter - Raleigh
Gavin Bourn - Cyclecare
