I used to have a cool plate with plenty of history, I had BMX 1T (BMX IT). I used to race BMX bikes when I was younger and was quite good, I bought it off a guy called Craig Schofield who was World Champion in 1985, his dad bought him the plate for winning that race. I bought it off him around 1995 and sold it back to him a couple of years ago.
I was sitting at traffic lights at Battersea one day and little mark from Take That pulled up next to me, wound his window down and said nice plate mate! Takes all sorts I suppose!
I used to race BMX bikes too, but I was sh!te. Nearly all the tracks were a million miles away from me and I didn't like falling off.
I remember Craig Schofield, Tim March and quite a few others who's names escape me now. I saved all my BMX Action Bike mags for years and years until one day my boiler leaked all over the boxes and ruined the lot.
