Back n the day I had whords of bike stuff mainly old Hutch parts think I had 3 hutch bikes. Anyone remember them?

Haha! Yeah, my girlfriends step dad hanging from the ceiling. My buddy was sponsored when he was a kid. He gave away a set of NOS pedals for 100 bucks. They sell for over 300!

I put Hutch stickers on my Schwinn Predator. I was at Burger King with a friend and someone moved his brand new Performer out of the way to steal mine. Sure, he still had a bike and I had to walk, but even a tweakers know quality when they see it. Over 20 years later I still give him shit about it. Guess those stickers weren't such a great idea.

recently got back into BMX with a couple mates :D annoying though, one cut a good chunk out of his finger by accident, and i got bitten fair good in the crotch by a dog. so both of us need to wait before we can roll out :(

 

'99 mongoose motivator, ive had it since a kid. once i got a car i sorta forgot about bikes so its been outside rusting for yearsss. didnt turn smooth, crank bearings were rusty, rear hub and sprocket were gone, chain and tyres were busted, looked sad

 

was:

i picked it back up, pulled it all apart, cleaned rust, stripped stickers and paint, smoothed out brake line brackets, and chain guard brackets, also shortened handlebars, then sanded it up a bit, painted it, replaced lots of bits and cleaned and repacked fork bearings, pulled the front wheel apart and painted then relaced then balanced it (...enough :D)

 

now:

cant wait to tear about on it like old times :D me and my mate need to get better, in the meantime i might pull my seat back a little for some more comfort

I have an early 80s PK Ripper that is signed by Perry Kramer. He signed it for me when I was 12 at a ABA NAtional in So Cal. I thought I was the coolest guy around, I have to go pull it out of a box that it is packed in to get a picture. That whole SE Racing team in the 80s where all good guys, Driving around in the Camoflodged (spelling?) bus..got a picture of me standing in front of it at Chandler Arizona Bmx track Winter Nationals...

Gary! I didn't know you rode 20s bro! That is sick, back in the day I used to ride dirt trails and help build local rhythm sections in parks n shit. I never got the hang of street, plus I used to always crash into the fruit-booters (rollerbladers) at skateparks.. Anyway, keep rockin the Datsun, aus hip hop and deadly-treadlies! Awesome man!
