Firebird freestyler..... Double bar frame

Quadangle

GT pro was another great bike..... Along with the Haro Firebird-freestyler, Quadangle and the Diamondback. Stunt pegs were the go!!! I think everyone had a BMX in that era. Just before Nike air, Getto blasters and breakdancing lol....

Thats a good point Ian, and ideally that would be great...But after so many years of tinkering Im set of 198-200g driver head @ 45 - 45.5 depending on the weight. Time to give the TM a go. Heard nothing but good things.

After the gritter my BMX, coming from the UK..... was a Raleigh Ultra Burner. this was the exact same everything....great bike. I rebuilt it many times. Araya wheels & Sugino Stem. Great memory.

Yeh right. Similar age as my 2, 8 and 10, I thought exactly the same Mongoose and Skyway have more of the original BMX vibe. My 2 also have the scooters but BMX is having a renaissance here in oz for kids atm + this will be there first real bike due to having scooters for so long...... I was sure the mongoose was from ET for some reason but apparently not. ET bike was this one. JDM

Thanks Mate...Need to offload some. Getting silly. Want a black TM sim2.... Think it could be a game changer...

Cool pic Ian...Wow....How good were those must be a similar age Ian I was also around 9 when I got a Chopper. I had it taken off me for crossing the main road on it. Then got it stolen outside the newsagents. Got a Grifter the next year for Chrissy. loved it...3 gears on the right hand grip if I remember. Was the predecessor to my BMX.

Yes the heavy nice leathers are office/den bags. I agree with that...As Bjorn said only good if you have a caddy.

Just about to pre order 2 bikes for my 2 kids for Christmas....... Man its a bit of a trip thinking I had one of these when I was there age. Just a cool memory, I remember how I felt when I got my first BMX and my brother got his on Christmas morning..... Full circle...... Im probably more excited than they will be. What did everyone have as there first cool bike at that age when a bike becomes freedom... Im undecided what 2 to pick out of these 3.....Thoughts? Vans PK Ripper Skyway TA Pro Mongoose Max Mayfield

The Vice bags look good also. Vessel will probably be the next bag I purchase. The MP in this thread will be a keepsake. It may be the last of Yoro bags.

These are my 2 gamers right now. FW80 in the 358 & BX 70 in the Modart Best I have used. and hard to pick between them.

Couple of Yammys in this bunch.....V202 & 4.6 rpm Have a couple more hidden somewhere. Yamaha golden years as Ian said. Not sure we will see that sort of quality again.

I have this sitting in Japan waiting to be posted.

They look awesome.

Stunning mate....Land of the gods. Amazing place when you think about it. Talk about history and culture!

Smart I would say...You can only play one set at a time so I keep greeting told.

Thats a nice looking bag and set Ian, Id play that now! Is that one gone now or just split up.?

Have an ouzo for me buddy

Sold....Thanks mate.

Its a fair point, but you have been around long enought to know that a $1000 putter can perform just as well as a $2500 one....Thats a lot more than 900 difference. And thats me being generous on the $1000 side......As in most cases with JDM boutiques its not just about how it performs.

Havent tried the RMX range. Have had plenty of the Inpres range....Some of those are up with the best.
