just looking through some threads with old park photos it
got me thinking

when bmx was at its height the miners strike was in full flow

this must have had an impact.
all the old photos i see from parks down south are full of
expensive bikes hutch,skyways,haros,rippers etc.
from what i can remember theses sorts of machines were a very
rare sight on our local tracks and were only usually seen when
organised events happened.
our track was mainly burners, puch, falcon pro etc.
i remember someone turning up one day with a brand new
super tuff burner and we all thought he was a snob

I BLAME THATCHER

its her fault i had a crappy bike
