OLD SCHOOL PICS

[FAZE3]

My ma has just found my old BMX photo album in the loft, brought a lot of great memories back for me.

I love looking at everyboby else's old pics so I thought I'd post some of mine. Won't bore you with them all, but heres a few,

We must of spent hours and hours doing pivots Half the time we didn't even have a ramp, just a muddy bank Sound fimilar to anyone?





The ramp in this pic does make me laugh


This was just some blokes house that had a drive that was better than a muddy bank
We spent hours on it, no idea how he put up with us, if some kids did that on my drive now


His son got us back though, he blu tacked some drawing pins to the drive


This was on a mates bike, think it was actually a silver fox, but we all wanted a TA..........................er still do.

Another trick we spent hours trying was this, I can't remember its name, but this was the first time I managed it
the pic isn't great, but its so old school, practising in a mates garden.


Eventually we all got pretty good at it spot the very rare frame?


Another trick we spent ages on.


Hope you like pics, I know they aren't the best but they bring the memories right back don't you think

Bar endo then Cowboy, then Miami hopper.....

2nd last pic - ahh.....the amount of time I spent clutching a green Sharpe Grip against a Kashimax Aero - takes me back! But WHAT are you wearing??!! Especially on your feet!! Yeah - back in the day, you could freestyle in anything! For example....



Yep - that's just about a mullet!

[aerostylie]

Cool pics, if you have more keep em comin

I remember those days of putting other brand stickers on any old frame/bars although it was quite difficult to disgiuse a Halfords Turbo!!

I wonder if new skool pics will look as good in 20+years time

[Stodgy]

Great pics - lets have more!

[FAZE3]

thanks all for the kind comments, its appreciated.

I'll scan and add some more pics over the weekend

warning though, some of them are pretty rubbish, the things we took pictures of


by the way Swivel the pictures don't show it that well, but the bits are orange not red, it was early 85 by then and we'd all seen Mr Ruffell on that orange beat A few weeks after those pics were taken, I had the f&f paint orange, added chrome decals and sold the whole bike, for £185 in the back of action bike.................if you bought it ........................I want it back
