I started with a Rhino Pro chrome oval frame
then a 84 chrome GT Pro Perfomer

that got nicked from the powder coaters mmmmmmm i now think it was one of the staff

then got a Rebel Freestyler to put me on till i got paid out from there insurance
then Haro Master in white

i didn't have many frames but the parts where changed on a weekly basis

but that said it didn't stop me dreaming of owning loads of others
