I'm thinking of buying this.

I built a gt mach 1 and a gt dyno back in 1999 out of new old school parts but never rode them. They are still in my garage.

For me the TA on tuff's is the nicest and I had one years ago but it got stolen when my old house was broken into.

 

skyway tuff 2's

last BMX i had was an S&M dirtbike, powerlite 3 piece crank, 48 spoke rims, xt v brakes, was a trick bike

 

im 27 and just bought a new bmx will get pics up soon

 

Me,around 20 years ago!!!! Regards Micky

 

the ripper is ive been a bmxer for around 15 years now, currently got a s&m holmes classic aheadset, s&m holmes next generation and a s&m dirtbike classic and a we the people four seasons which im currently building, ive prob spent more money on bmx's than i have on cars over the years

 

Is a nice bike, a lot of hthe rarer old school stuff is going for good money these days.

Im 26 and have just upgraded to another bike too (Mirra Pro), apart from my car my bike is my next prize possession.

Cheers

Paul

 

Knew you'd post on this thread Out of all the people that used to ride on the local ramps. How many still do? Mullen? Bartlett? I know Steve Bart. went and started "Clicked"

 

The daddys I love em.

I once bought some when I didn't have a bmx because I wanted some in my garage on the wall.

 

Wounder what hapened to people like Andy Ruffel, Tim march, Bob Haro,Eddie fiola, Mike Domingez....

what a blast from the past!
I was a BMX'er through and Through- I rode the nationals for a team called GERS.....
we were at about 5th in the UK team leage at one time

those were the days....

 

Im too predictable

Mike still rides. He works for and co-owns Team Extreme and does demo's for a living.

Aint seen Mark in years but still see Steve Bartholomew now and again at comps but I dont think he's doing the video mag any more.

Cheers

raleigh max with peddle back brake was my last bmx
just after i got rid of a grifter(shit that was just a heavey bike)

 

Greg Hill, Harry Leary, Clint Miller, .............does Perry Kramer still own SE Racing I wonder ?

Old skool............. always wanted a PK Ripper or a Kuwahara Lazerlite. Skyway never did it for me, but I always imagined being Eddie Fiola, dressed in yellow with the banana yellow GT Performer. Remember the magh BMX Action Bike ? Still got the first copy I ever bought from 1983...............

I wasnt as serious as some of you guys but i loved my bmx`s, the words skyways and laidback seat`s 3 piece cranks bring back so many memories, does anyone have, or remember oria`s ( sp ) i had a set on mine, also im sure my frame was a kuahara ( again sp ) mx brakes, cw handle bars, sr clamp, bear trap pedals, as i said i wasnt a serious bmxer but i still loved it, im only 24 so i recon it must have bee 12 years ago at least, thanks for reminding troops, some great memories

I am still into OS BMX's, I have 3 at the moment, a restored 1979 Redline MX11, another Redline MX11 for riding, and a super Tuff Burner that was signed by Andy Ruffell and Craig Scholfield last year at the 25th anniversary.

tim March still lives local to me, and runs a BMX magazine, Andu Ruffell is a big CEO of a company in the US who organize the MOBO awards.

I have loads of pics on my website of both OS meeting in Bournemouth from 2005 and 2004.

Here's mt restored Redline, mmm much rarer that all these Skyway TA's and rippers that pop up on the bay.





You can see my super Tuff in my sig. I have also had a few burners over the last few years, including a Pro Aero, a tuff, a mini, and a std MK1.

i used to have a torker 280x,a number of robinsons and a pk
go here for old school stuff
www.alans.co.uk
click on old skool

 

Back in the day one of my mates bought one (god knows why) and never rode it as he broke his leg the day after he got it so I loooked after it for him. He ended up moving to Spain after making lots of money and its still in my garage never rode after he gave it to me.

 

here is mine, looking sligfhtly sorry for itself,

a raliegh areo pro burner,

pro class rims,

dia comp rear brake,

dia comp mini mountain bike brake lever,

skyway ta handlebars,

tioga crank

needs a bit of tlc me thinks!!

 

Yes!
i had a '84 Haro freestyler too...
white tuff's. Haro vector bars, flight cranks, coaster brake(because Bob Haro used one )

 

Yep I had 'z' rims too. you could side kick and bend the wheel so the hub would smash on the floor.. everyone used to ask me to do it and it was as cool as hell then..
only problem was, the spokes used to push through the rim and puncture the tube every time

 

I use to have a skyway tear drop i think thats what it was called but it got nicked a few years ago when my garage got brocken into bastards as probly endded up in a local lake like most bikes do around this area.
I had it for about 15 years before it got nicked and it had arai suzzy wheels on it thats all i can remember as bin a wile now.

Ive also got BMX bandits on dvd

 

BMX Bandits. Isn't Nicole Kidman in that about 12 years old or something.

 

One of those very nearly had the death of me. Was in hospital for a couple of days broke my leg and an arm doing about 30mph when the bearings in the front wheel basically collapsed.
Was for a bet of £200 that I couldn't do 30mph down a big hill (swillington if anyone knows it) anyway I got it and ended up meeting a fence after the wheel fucked up.

Am thinking about bidding on this.
