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.

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.

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 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.

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.

back in the late 80's i once heard a kid i didnt know say that big lad on the firebird freestyler has one for every day of the week,he was right, chrome ones acid green ones,pink and black,and a very special porsche bronze one with orange skyway super tuff 2 wheels, sounds yuky but with me coaster brake,haro freestyle tyres[or cheng shin if i was broke ,cw handle bars and a laid back seat post,not forgeting the acs rotor so i could spin the bars, i was the bizzo it came from dp like that
950 for a pk ripper tho,me bruvver paid 50 notes for one, the welding was absolutely superb and i was only 15,but could tell quality
any one remember Hollywood Mike Miranda,or Marvelous Marvin the first person i saw do a 720.on a quarterpipe
