Here are some photos of myself and Andy Preston competing in the 1984 bmx beat competition which we came first and second in! Sorry about the quality of the pics but it was a long time ago! Check out the hair, the size of the TV cameras and the size of the ramps! Mike all crossed up on the trick ramp Ramp stall with a coaster brake!! Mike getting focused for his winning run. Andy Preston on the right, Mike Pardon on the left, Unknown rider in the middle.

Check this recently published picture of me wheeling down the beach in Tenerife from 1983! (dont mention my shorts ok) It was published in last months Ride Uk mag. The all expenses trip to the canaries was to test Raleigh's new burner range. I rode in a variety of locations and the island was a lot less crowded than it is now. I even did a huge jump into the harbour watched by the locals no doubt thinking crazy gringo. Check pics: Here I am just after touchdown into the harbour note the height and missing peak!! I had to swim down 10ft and pick up the poor burner on the bottom.. Chilling on the seafront in the Canaries watched by a curious local.
