Embarrassing Photos from mountain biking past (wheres yours)

[johntheboy]

Looking through old photos today and found this one of Me (marln jersey)
my son (kona jersey) and L to R Mike, Chris & Darren. Taken in 1991 top of Bignor near Whiteways West Sussex. Love the Helmets, very Retro now but the latest gear back then. Have I really been riding MTB's 19 years? I still pass this place at least once a week even now. Has anyone else got any pictures of their early Mountain Biking days. Pity you can't see the bikes, think my Son was on his Kona Lava Dome, I was on my Marin rocky ridge. Notice I was still riding with Clips & straps and the Marin still had ridged forks so the picture of the bike must be a latter one as it has rockshocks and mks spuds.
