'96 was my first year at Brunel, so if you ever saw some damn students riding round the place, could well have been me. I used to ride a cherry red S+M dirt bike and a green Kona hardtail back then. Ah, memories... I used to do abubacas on the sloping 'Welcome to Stockley Park' thing, and we used to grind and ride the ledges around all the water features, and do all the stair drops down to the water and round the buildings. One of my mates used to live over in Hayes just by the railway station so we'd just cut up past EMI into Stockley. Did you know they built a pretty damn good BMX track over that way around 99/00?

I lost '96 and '97 in a drug & alcohol related haze (post divorce party-time). I remember very little.

Did you ever ride at Penshurst or Aston Hills?

Yeah - like a parking lot's beautiful and graceful... Those "wind fields" out near Palm Springs make the even the desert look uglier!

They can't fight wars for sh*t though. In other news the beer is great.

Well, not every company is there are they?

no, but the ones which could be built in France, or Sweden, or Switzerland, or elsewhere...are in Ireland.

Yeah a few times, but it was always a mission getting organised to get out there since I didn't own a car until my 3rd year. We used to ride Burnham beaches quite a lot, even though it was technically not allowed there was some awesome terrain there.

I choose:

Audi vs Ford
Mercedes vs Chevy
BMW vs Chrysler

Who wins?

(And no need to point out that Daimler Chrysler owns Mercedes)
