Throwback – Andy Ruffell

Throwing this one back to the early 80s in the UK. Andy Ruffell riding for ACE at Buckmore Park before getting picked up by Mongoose and becoming the biggest name in the sport and a household name during the 80s in the UK. At one point, Andy who appeared regularly on TV, was number one in Freestyle and winning National Championships in racing – something that had never been done at the same time before in the sport. Andy was the first official number 1 Pro in 1985 after signing a lucrative deal to ride for Raleigh that same year. After his race days, Andy continued to work in TV and Media and today is the CEO of Dancestar TV, Dancestar Ventures and 5th & Ocean Productions.
