Always great to see old ROM pics. Dan, nice Race Inc, I had a Race Inc (mini) all in gold is was beautful and so fooking light too.
Always loved those Max elbo pads and Max seat covers for a Uni Seat. The pool tile carve is sweet. Love the SKINS grafitti, and the two kids wearing flight jackets - shows it's age.

cheers ramp rat, what year was you riding? seen your pics and the're awsome, how old was you in 83,

aso my race inc had tuffs for freestyle and spokes for racing, the pics show both

loved that frame but

it didnt last long, done a massive jump out of the performance and cracked most of the welds

also in a lot of my pics i have two different wheels, thats because i kept buckling the rear wheel

Ramp Rat · « **Reply #22 on:** November 22, 2006, 10:58 PM »

Hey Dan - I was 14 in '83. Me and my mates Ralph Tribe, Tony Mac and Steve Baldry were weekend regulars down rom, it took us 2 hours to get there from Sutton, Surrey. We had to take the tube to Elm Park, took forever but well worth the trip.

Yeah, those Race Inc weren't good freestyle frames, my made Steve Baldry (AKA Crazy Leggs - in fact he used to love jumping out the P. Bowl like you. He got some coverage in BMXAB). He broke his race Inc and so I sold mine right after that and got a GT Standard.

Here's a pic of my Gold mini Race Inc. it had 3 inch race inc bars, 158 Suntour Cranks, mini Suntour stem, Ukai rims. I'd kill to have that bike again, it looked so sweet and so light, really help me get airs off a jump.
