long long time ago I decided I wanted an old BMX and met Kirk and McNulty via Ebay (98/99 ish ) already new Baldbmxer as I raced with him at that time and he had shed loads of stuff already back then

Then met people like Wax/Bob?Ron?Dan ect and never looked back

nowadays its more about riding and friends than the old bikes but its all good to me

DINGO

p.s elastic band start gate for MK08?

Elastic band start gate... bollocks to that, guess you didn't see Jungle Geoff face plant the concrete start hill at Sankey, the rubber band went through his front wheel... not nice at all

That NASS event was indeed one of the best, massive crowd and we put on some great races with some big crashes, Jazzyj on the bottom of the start hill breaking his collar bone, Alan woods ove the bars on the doubles and my right hand hit his bike as he went over and broke my middle finger, but i still finished second in that race.

Wax and Bren lookin a little worse for wear

Bacon cobs

The thing was it was fun and new (even tho it was old)

The Alans events were great, even Bill and Hal from Vintage BMX made the trip from the usa and loved our pubs, poor old McNulty dropped his pint, it pissed down all day on the race day, Dingo had a pink and white CW California Freestyler, Geth Shooter and Dale holmes came for the weekend to show support, I had a Seven foot quarterpipe made for a freestyle comp that was rained off. all the guys from London drove 200 odd miles for a laugh, happy days.

Well started BMX early 80's got a blue burner when I was 12. Then sold it for a bike that I went upto manchester to get a year later, it had a 531 chromoly frame, then eventually got skyways, mx1000, SR cranks, dx pedals etc. Was mad about it as a kid, not serious or really good or anything, we built a 1/4 pipe in garden, track down the road, used to ride upto Birmingham wheels, in the holidays and go around the track and ramps. loved it !!! Then left school, got a bit embarrassed about having the bike although I still loved it, as i built it up. Used to leave it in town all day, then of course it got robbed, was gutted, police couldnt do anything, my mom stopped the insurance on it as we couldnt afford it, so i just lost it

That was that for a while, drinking, drugs , work , women etc!!

About 1995, bought a Diamond Back, mid school used to ride it around for a while, always thought about getting a Haro my dream bike, but as moved around alot never got around to it. Then about 5 years ago, bought a PK Ripper frame, and restored it, its the one on my site, then just went mad from there!!!
