Wow, judging from the steels, that looks purpose built rather than ghetto! where did they get it from Tim?

Sixteen thirty-two. What is that? A year?   No, it's your top score on Pole Position.

That half-pipe originally came from Southport skatepark (late seventies) then made it's way to the top of the start hill at Chorley BMX track and eventually to mine around 1983 for the grand sum of £50. It came surfaced in knackered fibreglass panels so I ripped that off and bolted timber across the width followed by a layer of ply and added a vert extension one side and a platform on the other. Happy days!

Tim, this surely has to be one of the greatest RAD threads of all time! Thanks so much for posting these up!
As Clint said before ( Oldschoolace) I hope you’d be interested in allowing us to use some of your amazing  U.K. pics in our “We Were Rad”  Book?
Thanks for posting again Tim... just awesome  :4_17_5:

Agreed this is one of my favourite threads on here - easy to miss it by the unassuming thread title though

Should probably rename it to 'Tim's fooking awesome pics from BITD' or something

Fantastic

So the year is 1981,I'm sixteen & still heavily into skateboarding and only aware of the upcoming phenomenon that is BMX through reading Trials & Motocross News....
 Until I bump into a neighbourhood kid riding a red Sentinel Scorpion TX with yellow Skyways. I COULD NOT  believe my eyes. fat/skinny tyres,mag wheels,Kashimax MX seat,Tange TX1200 forks and a mangalloy frame. I had to have one.
Two weeks later and I get a phone call from my older brother that worked on Deansgate in Manchester,where all the motobike dealers were. In the window of ACE Motocycles was a blue & yellow Scorpion SX complete with a Suntour Holeshot derailleur,
on sale for £99. I had to have it! I had £100 in premium bonds and to my total surprise my parents agreed to let me cash 'em in.

What's the first thing you do when the bike's taken out of the van? You stick your brother's Bell Moto 3 on and see how she handles!
