flatcat19 Posted October 21, 2011 Report Share Posted October 21, 2011 I knew there was some 24" kids around. Show more. :D Yeah i kinda gave up, i was riding street for a while but being physically out of shape did not help one bit, plus college and trying to fit a few lacrosse sesh's in durring the week was getting hard to ride down to the local skate park. If i do sell it the money is going into the 521. you should try 28/9 Best ive ever riden. This bike was stolen from me when i was in highschool but the dumb ass brought it back to the school with stikers all over it, when you spend almost all day on your bike you are going to reconize it right away, walked up to him and just took it and rode off X) I broke my wrist back in '06. Doing a 360 down a 9 stair in front of the Salem, OR Capital building. Kept under-rotating. Probably gave 20 or so tries. Getting pissed-I went in to commit mode. I trucked down the lead up, hopped, started spinning, stuck it. As I landed, my right wrist just totally gave out. Rolled away-but in so much pain. My friend, Caleb Quanback, was with me. We were parked about a mile from where we were. That was one rough ride back. Got into car. Caleb couldn't drive-so he shifted all the way back to Portland for me. 60 miles? I called the Dr. And headed over for a safety meeting. I was so done. A few years ago-missing BMX so much, I started hitting up friends for another bike. That Fit I got from Ben Hucke. It was his temp. frame while waiting for Haro to send him more. I had that thing built from kick-downs and flow in like a week. I never got back in at 100%. I was so scared about my wrist. But I changed style to more tech. Lots of fun had. The people I was riding influenced my style change. (Bruce Crisman, Andy Merral, Lil Caleb.) I am thinking about putting one back together though. CanDy 2012 or BMX? Right now, I'd rather CanDy. Quote Link to comment

Pretty popular. ABC/Aloha Bike Center, out on TV Hwy was selling them like crazy. They had the 415 Fatboy, the T.J. Levin Vegas Fatboy, and a girls model. My friend, Bendian(Ben King), was working there at the time. He was given the chore of changing the reader board one day. "Come in and test ride a FatGirl." :lol: Ben didn't have a job past the weekend. Quote Link to comment
fisch Posted October 22, 2011 Report Share Posted October 22, 2011 Ooo I will play. And mine is almost the same era as my Datsun! 1974 Yamaha Motobike, B-series. I bought it as a basket case and this is how it sits. It was a factory full suspension BMX, even back then! In the paint booth. How I bought it! Here is a 1979 Murray. But as my tastes are usually for things even older, I picked up this 1950's Stelber 20" tank bike, and am having custom BMX dreams. (Photoshop mock-up.) I need a spanish BB if anyone has a cheap one laying around! Original Quote Link to comment

yello620 Posted October 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2011 I just picked up a 24" cruiser this evening. Found it on Craigs for too cheap. 24" Chrome Diamondback. This is basically what i was looking for when i bought my 20" a couple weeks ago. These two bikes are very close to matching, now i need to decide if i should keep them both. Pics coming soon, need to clean it up first. Quote Link to comment

Zfighter76 Posted October 25, 2011 Report Share Posted October 25, 2011 Yeah I put them up over there (kaosgt)The museum is the 'rajullio hector de la hondro' :unsure: Here's a few more :cool: I got back into BMX/Freestyle a couple years ago, currently buiding an '85 Performer and I built two Dyno's for my boys :cool: from the looks of that gt logo and the fork and the way the seat stays meet on the top tube, i would be somewhat confident in saying that i, too, own a gt performer. maybe i should consider a rebuild, haha. i also have a 90's schwinn predator and a fit street team all tricked out. ill throw up some pics when its light.

flatcat19 Posted October 27, 2011 Report Share Posted October 27, 2011 Look at all these long seat posts and huge sprockets. It amazes me sometimes when I reflect back at how much BMX has changed. Not just the sport of, but the gear being used as well. Keep 'em coming ya'll. Quote Link to comment
