Who is Rob and what magic may he weave?

I didn't think the American brotherhood subscribed to the Firebird Freestyler as a valid piece of BMX history....

Aha!  Good stuff!  Be keen to see how the restoration goes  :daumenhoch:

The DP Freestyler is one of the reasons that this humble little site exists, but that's all history  :daumenhoch:

When my mate found out I was building an OS bike, he said..."What is it?...A Ripper or summink?"

I then said, "No, I'm building a replica of my old Firebird!"

He replied by saying, "What?....A DP?....They were cheap crap weren't they?"  :shocked:

Midschoolers eh? ....What do they know?  >:D

Can't wait to see another one saved!
