Steve, just seen your BB = looks like a Comp II not a Freestyle?

You should keep it for posterity. Did that Kicktail sell for ridiculous money?

how do I post pictures up, can't remember - think I have to a cloud repository. Will dropbox do?

I went! (I had a couple of Benjyboards in the exhibition). Got to see them all again!
Max Kirsten, Kadir Guirey, Henderson, Sablosky (First time back in the UK since 1979!), Sinclair, Paul Sully, Floater.
Missing were, Darren Boner, Pete Stern and Jules Gayton, but he skyped in for Marc Sinclair's birthday celebration.

Plus all the Logos team among so many others!!

Great pics AW - I can't even remember Max Kirsten, where did he fit in again?

Sablosky turned into a bit of a flaker me thinks. I think skating was probably the pinnacle of his life.

We're all meeting for a beer next time I'm over, either later this year or early next. Unless you want to come to Oz. :D

Well, Max Kirsten was the first Benjy team rider even before Kadir. Max did all the prototype testing for Ben's White Lightnings at South Bank, and broke a lot of them! He's a hypnotherapist now!

John left UK in '79, had a few issues in the past, but got into music, got married and had kids.

Definitely up for a beer when your're over here! :D
