Started BMXing in the early eighties, My first BMX was a Chrome & Black Team Murray, which was made of lead!
After i snapped the metal Mag wheels 3 times my local bike shop finally give me a discount on some OGK 5 spoke wheels
This made it a lot lighter, Then i snapped the frame, spent more pocket money on an unbranded aero frame and forks,
This made it even lighter still, We used to go to the local skate park in custom house, and the Eastway (which is now where the olympic park is) , Plus the Rom in Romford and a track over in woolwich and leyes road in custom house
We also had a lot of building sites around and even the Beckton alps ski slope before it was finished
I have Broke my collar bone, coccyx, ribs, ripped my shins off, fractured my cheek bone, you just have to jump back on
I now ride a Raleigh Aero and a Peugeot CPX351 and i am rebuilding a Mongoose California for my brother
Would like to know any good tracks near dagenham area, also have see pics of other peoples nice rides, if i want to upload some pictures of my ride, do i need photobucket?

I know you...your mates stole my bike in 1983.

Cagney & Lacey will be arriving tomorrow to collect my compensation from you.

Due to this inconvenience I will be keeping your aunt's potato peeler.

I thought it was some kind of Modern bmx slang

im from the era of BunnyHops, Kickouts and Endoes, i can still do most of the tricks too, But instead of my mum saying "you are going to break your neck one day!" my girlfriend says "you are going to break your neck one day!", Nothing changes does it?

Devilock · « **Reply #11 on:** November 21, 2013, 10:09 PM »

I'll break your neck one day.

i probably owe it to the fact my rear mag was broken that i still have my old bike, because my sisters friends just took whatever they wanted from my room .....dead man's shoes if i knew thier names

get yerself a site tag, and Del's the man for the missing decals

Avoid this man at all costs mate....he will steal your bike, spray it teal and add leopardskin pads and a basket to it

Welcome to RAD matey, you've met Rich I see, he's very different to the rest of us, in fact he's different to anyone you've ever met or likely to meet.

But we ~~love~~ tolerate him.
