snapped my first bmx and chucked it away, but it looked very much like this, in fact exactly like this....

moley · « **Reply #4 on:** December 10, 2008, 06:39 PM »

I would love mine!!

Especially a mint one in its original condition!!

A Falcon Pro Theta!

I loved it!!

It ended up with nearly every part changed including the forks!!

It brings back good memories!!

Mine was a Moto 1 and she died back in about 84/85ish.

when bmx hit our shores i remember the first 2 kids to get one cant remember what they were though and thought yeah im into that
as more kids got them the chances of me getting one were slim at that time as i was very small for my age and while my mates were on grifters i was on a yellow boxer !
it had a red haro 2 finger lever and yellow mongoose grips and a blue mongoose single stem pad so i was getting there
eventually when i was tall enough to get one and telling my parents that i wanted one for xmas i couldnt wait for that day to come

but can you imagine my face when i got a burner

so the answer to that one ratty is a defo no

sawzall · « **Reply #11 on:** December 10, 2008, 07:15 PM »

magna13 · « **Reply #12 on:** December 10, 2008, 07:18 PM »

what tyres did it originally have when leaving the shop?

STUMPYLEE · « **Reply #13 on:** December 10, 2008, 08:01 PM »

I just picked up this a few months back. It as close as i could get in this nos condition, my original never had the serrated forks. Just need a few more bit to start build

BrianP · « **Reply #14 on:** December 10, 2008, 08:41 PM »

Love that chrome rickman stumpylee

This is my first one, recently repainted. I still got some other bits too, and hope to rebuild it some time:

And this is my second one, which was originally built up using many donor parts from when the one above was complete.

oberonspacefruit · « **Reply #16 on:** December 10, 2008, 09:28 PM »

My first was a Moto-One. I don't have it anymore and wouldn't be bothered about having it.

Wish I still had the Supergoose II which replaced the Moto-One though (some cnuts nicked it out of my Gran's shed around 1982).

kdw712 · « **Reply #18 on:** December 11, 2008, 11:28 AM »

my first infact only BMX BITd was a piranha
long gone now

but i do have a frame in the waiting to be restored queue

se-bmxer · « **Reply #19 on:** December 11, 2008, 11:33 AM »

my very first bike was quadangle copy type bike i think it was called Panther not sure on make, it was shit and only lasted a week

Spen69 · « **Reply #20 on:** December 11, 2008, 11:57 AM »

As seems the theme here, no I don't have it but I have a copy of my first BMX, an Ammaco 202.

Actually, it kinda half counts as the Pro-Class wheels are my originals that came on the Mongoose Cali that replaced it. Rode 'em for 3 months while I saved my pocket money for a set of Tuffs, and my dad put them in his shed for safekeeping. 20 years later, whilst rummaging around in said shed, hey presto - my practically un-used Pro-Class wheels

munners · « **Reply #23 on:** December 11, 2008, 02:02 PM »

Stodgy · « **Reply #24 on:** December 11, 2008, 02:05 PM »

My first bike was a Mk1 Super Burner, haven't got that still (thank fook).

I do however have my 1984 GT Pro Performer - it's the only bike I will keep for ever.
