I'm not sure if this has been posted before or not, but here is a link to a funny old interview of Jeff and Toby.
Enjoy!

Just another couple of So'Cal dudes jamming around the park in full race uniforms.
Good stuff.

We got more stuf from that era that we have dumped from VHS to DVD it sits waiting to get edited , altered format etc etc then uploaded somewhere to be seen..
For the time & effort Matt put in to getting that clip onto You Tube it's hardly worth it , all pixelated , no details to be seen pretty aweful compared to what it looks like on DVD in .avi format , the audio is OK but lack of detail in the video suxx big time if you want an accurate reference of what the people , bikes etc really were like back then...
Interviews with Greg Hill , Perry Kramer , Andy Patterson , Bob Haro & others are sitting on DVD's here still might be some more stuff turn up on VHS as I go thru my collection of old tapes & burn them to onto DVD.
Back then we collected all of the BMX "press" from TV that we could , Wonder World , News or whoever was showing BMX stuff , a lot of it came to air well after the US visitors had left the country....
I remember a day when Coast , Mick Wiltshire , Johnny Harris , myself & a few of Johnny's lunatic mates tore around that same park looking for some action , like we saw Jeff & Toby do on TV....of course no one had hand held video cameras back then to record the wild & crazy stuff we'd get into back then on our bikes , unlike they do today....
