BMX thread

One of my all time favourite vids. I've even downloaded the music to my iPod!

 

Not as heavy hitting as the jumping vids, but mad mad skillz all the same

 

Wow! Cool Thread. I don't know how I missed this one!

I've had more BMX's than I care to remember
Raleigh Chrome Burner, Mongoose Pro Class, Skyway TA etc etc

This is my 1983 GT Team Series Race Bike. (Same age as my MK1 GTI!!)
One of last GT's to be hand built in the Santa Ana Factory in the US.




4130 "Chrome Moly" (Chromium Molybdenum) !!

 

So who is going to buy a new Burner then to relive those childhood good times? Good deal on at Argos at the moment.

Riding a very sexy NsBikes Capital (with a nice fresh dent)

HI! haha

 

I rode last weekend in a BMX jam last weekend, I got 4th out of 22 riders so I'm quite pleased

 

1985 mk2 burner refurb on the go ................

 

That you in the air, Lee?

Late spec Skyways there with the reflector attachments?

 

Yeah Chris, that's me

 

Thread revival!

Here it is as it stands today - my Xmas 1982 Tuff Burner, complete with dry weather front tyre... I took it out for the first time in a good while.



How much of an easy hobby is it, messing around with bikes? Refreshed the rear and fork bearings in an hour - and then out for a several mile ride. No where near fast enough mind, though it still goes down steps, and does endos!

What is it with 5 spokes tho? Skyways..... MOs, Speedlines, OZ Cronos, Dymags

 

Well i stupidly got rid of most of my old bmx stuff...some of it would be worth a bit now. Ive currently got a custom KHE Da-function flatland bike. Full custom wheels, 20t chainring to 9t freecoaster etc.

Dont know if the video worked but one of my fav's

 

remember the old raleigh wildcat bmx haha

 

Recently dusted off, recomissioned and taken for a run around London...






... and home via the local VW dealer!

 

I got a new frame last month so I thought I'd post it here

Thought I'd take it for a spin too

 

That is spooky, my son's BMX is almost identical, really weird thing is that he sprayed it that colour himself.

Only differences are his forks are blue & front sprocket is black, even the grips are the same colour.
