SHAKE IT 'TIL THE MEAT COMES OFF THE BONES!

I know we are already a couple of months into 2012 but here are some of my favourite shots of myself competing in the 2011 race season. Obviously, my choice of pictures shows me in the best light possible but on the other hand, like they say....the camera never lies!
Looking forward to the start of the new season on April 1st (no joke)... as the competition continues to get stronger I've no idea how I'll do this coming season but I feel I've finally recovered from my various injuries I picked up late last year and feel it's gonna be a good year for dirt track in the UK!

One night in September 1995....

Psychick-Boy does it again unearthing unseen footage of THE RAMP COMMANDOS sessioning my old mini-ramp back in late September 1995. On duty that night were me (blue shirt/dyed black hair) Psychick-Boy, Captain Highside, Julian Parkinson and Daz Robinson.The list of tricks I have forgot I could do leaves me at a loss for words......look out for my backside boneless one, Psychick-Boy's Lein to tail and Captain Highside's frontside roll-in.......LIVIN' IN A WIGGLY WORLD!

Forgotten footage.....

Big thanks to Psychick-Boy for digging up some skate footage of me on my mini ramp 15 years ago in 1995. The ramp stood for 12 or so years until it was dismantled to make way for YOYO'S BOWL.
That's Capt. Highside on the platform waiting to drop in. I had completely forgot I could do both those tricks...Frontside Rock 'n' Rolls and little Frontside Ollies.......Looks like I just threw down a gauntlet to my own self.......

I know that Dave Gorman based a TVcareer out of this but that aside, for a creepy experience, type your own name into the Facebook search engine.

I just did and it threw up 500 plus "David Arnolds"......here are my top 9 namesakes.
