Anarchic Adjustment

[Trickstar84]

I went to a couple of the Holeshots  

I entered the 1985 Holeshot comp, came 4th, played  Double Dee & Steinski ‎- lesson 3 to my routine then gave up bmx, got into house music after that

  Lots of us were influenced by AA.We used to make wheel slices IIRC-a section of plastic between 2 spokes of our mags,usually with a London Underground decal on nicked off the tube..Also had half Hammerite/half chrome frames.

  the influence was bigger than We realise I think! The mindset of riding & what it could mean changed, or at least allowed Us to express it. I just remember turning up at a UKBFA comp & lots of people were in cool gear, the bikes had changed & there was an attitude (in a good way) there. Then I think I got My run music stopped because it had 'unsuitable lyrics' in it or something

  Knd of like the Spike Jonze et al thing of the U.K.More street orientated stuff,getting rid of riding in race gear & a big skate influence coming in & more of a DIY ethic.

Your right Brothers

Massive influence on BMX at the time.

I painted the rear half of my chrome Changa in Purple Hammerite and had Skyways with 'wheel slices' I made out of big warninig stickers i taft of building sites.

We had a shop in Nottm called Gridiron that used to stock Life's a Beach' gear so had stickers everywhere. Haha

Best time in BMX.

  I had a "Life`s A Sandpit" shirt.

[LENNY-LENTINI]

Building this at the Mo' to take me back in time.

Just needs a front Skyway with Slices.

Hammerite ........ 'tis the future   


AA stuff was the best   

[fugazi]

With this thread, and after saying about doing a GT like I had bitd it's inspired Me to build something up in the spirit of those times, and given Me a direction to go with the T1 Ruben I've got here, now to see if that Purple paint is any good......

[oldtired]

[fugazi]

You might be right as yes i do remember Eric being taller, i guess Dave also took too many drugs and drank tooo much as well, or maybe he's just naturally crazy, dont think i ever met Dave Slade

Do you remember a rider called Luke Slater?? think he was from Portsmouth?

Still absolutely fckn rad whoever it was........funny as fck.
