I always liked pulling wheelies on my pushbike when I was a kid.
Michael NeevesGUEST
I used to ride along and see how many paving slabs I could clear on my Grifter and stuff like that, and that kind of evolved into the bikes.
Michael NeevesGUEST
And then I always used to wheelie my bikes, and then I got into watching GPs and watching Kevin Schwantz, and learnt how to do crossed up wheelies and stuff.
Al FaganHOST
Oh.

Late 80s, early 90s.
Stu ShentonGUEST
Um, when we had new, new, some new, you know, we didn't have a high staff turnover.
