Good read that. I remember Alex Moul turning up at the pioneer club in St Albans one Friday night in around 97/98 and tearing the place up. A lot of us just stopped skating to watch him.

@yetidamo and I came across Alex Moul when we were skating Abingdon Tesco’s car park. He was an absolute ripper as were a fair few others from peachcroft. This must have been 1988.

Sweet! Some people just have it when it comes to skating. I actually didn’t realise he was as big a name in skating as early as he was. He was just one of the big Uk names from when I started skating. If I remember the evening correctly I think John Rattray may have been there too and he also ripped the place up. Both going ten times faster and harder than anyone else.

I moved to near Abingdon a few years ago. The old tarmac BMX track that Alex Moul appeared on in a skate video in the early 90s is still there and is just about skateable if your wheels aren't too small.
