Chorley Bombhole

Dave Skooter Farm is my second favourite thing about UK Short Track (after the bikes) and, to repeat for the hundredth time, I probably wouldn't be racing if it wasn't for him. Anyway, he posted these great photos of himself, back when he was sponsored BMX rider from 1980-82, that have just resurfaced. Check Dave's blog. Full Frokkul Fiasco!>
More vintage BMX coming soon. G

    Chorley Bombhole is a great name for a Crüe style hairmetal band.

    Chorley Bombhole? I went out with her for three weeks back in 1983. Much respect Dave SF, I never got beyond putting cowhorns on my Sun Snipe racer and performing tyre-wrecking skids.

    Hey Dr.Ogo
    Don't remember which bike was which, it all blurs into one after all these years. In pretty quick succession I rode a Redline MX-II for Team Alans, then was on Team Robinson. When I quit racing in 1982,I rode both a Torker and even a Raleigh Aero-Burner (the nice cro-moly one)
    We set up the FAULKNER BMX ARCHIVE on Facebook for these splendid pics and there is talk of an exhibition ,hopefully in the not too distant future.
