I'm afraid so, Pete.

Fully loaded Trick Star

amongst skate boards

Excellent Gen1

Full display honoring Bob Haro, Jose Delgado top french rider and Mat Hoffman. Green bike is a 87 MBK prototype made for the Mad Dogs team, this was a special "forum23 teamed resto" to offer to Jose, he was quite chuffed, even if the whole project almost turned into a bloody nightmare. Big up everyone who helped, you know who who are.

our very good Seb Ronjon, the man behind all this, with our french Ministre des Sports, David Douillet
