Post by: glenboy on October 11, 2012, 10:39 PM: it looks good the hutch pro racer in freestyle form, first one i've seen i wondered if it was a hutch with the pad on the bars, i like the colour schemes on the actual bikes back in the day as they weren't perfect colour coding you just got what you got and put it on, great pics and thanks for posting up :daumenhoch:

Post by: jimwise68 on October 12, 2012, 09:34 AM: love those pix.

Sums up the 80s and BMXs so much for me.

Junkyard ramps :LolLolLolLol:

We built a quarter pipe in a yard of an industrial unit of our local industrial estate. It was mini ramp but instead of marine ply it was huge sheets of heavy duty cardboard :D was like a resi ramp and was about 15 foot wide and the whole run up was floored with cardboard sheets.
So wish i had some pix from BITD, I only have one of me on my Californian jumping out of a mud bowl but i cant find it :-[

That yellow and pink GT has given me a hankering for some Fruit Salads ;)

Post by: Spen69 on October 12, 2012, 09:53 AM: Who needs a time machine eh? It's all right there.... Bad hair, terrible clothes, health & safety nightmares, fantastic street modified bikes and the time of your life!

Awesome pics - just wish I had a few more than I do from our back garden ramp my dad built us after I fractured my skull the first time on a quarter-pipe that looked like the one in these pictures.... Bits of plywood, old scraps pf timber..... Yep, if we lived under today's h&s rules we'd never have grown up appreciating how much fun a bit of danger is.

Brilliant - thanks for posting these up.

I bought a propper blue & grey one a few years ago off ebay. I've got it next to my adidas colorados :smitten:
