For some other cool photos go to Jason Criags Titan. Last name is misspelled, but Gary is going to fix it. You'll love the picture of Stu and me. I sent gary some more today of Harry Leary and Brian Patterson. If anyone is interested in old photos, shoot me an email and I'll get them to you.

Dude....WAY too cool! Great to see pics from back in the day....especially with Stu, the legend, himself. I'm ONLY 37 and like you, have a HUGE renewed interest in BMX (and cycling in general)....partly due to this site and just plain missing bikes! Welcome.....and thanks for the flashback!

Yes, I also just turned 37 and have been having a blast on this site this week. I will have a ton of photos to offer once I can get them scanned. I want to try and find another Titan and Tian Cruiser to build up.

I love the van in the background. Looks like a righteous ride!

That was Bob Furry's pimp mobile. I rode with him and his son Scott to the 1985 Amirillo Nationals in Texas. This is where the photo was taken.

Man that shot of you and Billy is kick ass.
I was a USBA rider in 85 or 86.
Went to two USBA nationals that year, in fact the only two races I made that year period, as I was in the Navy.
Finished National #77 Cruiser
Not near as good as your finish, not that I'm jealous.Nope not at all, not me.

It's definately something I will always remember.

A friend of mine here in ohio was fully sponsored by Titan. His name is Mike. We live in Mansfield ohio. I wont give out his last name, but he still has several of his titans and all his gear left. He races cars now and owns a body shop. Maybe you titan guys might know him. His last name starts with the letter 'O"
