| First bike i remember having was a full size 20" wheel chrome burner when i was 7(raleigh BMX)... which was sweet but a little too big for about a year (and really i allways wanted a team burner)
another BMX after that, it was a mongoose villian (quite apt for me at the time being a wayward 13 year old... not because i was a criminal but because i had sharp teeth with a long body covered in fur and occaisionally ate snakes).
after i'd grown out of that awkward phase i stuck with BMX's till i was 21...
i built loads but my favorite has to be the one with a S&M John Holmes frame (no joke! it was the long toptube version of the S&M dirt bike heheh)
Aah that was a sweet bike... G-Sport hubs with 14mm bolts instead of 7mm axles... choclate brown... black forks... black bars...
and a back wheel that nearly split me in half in an 8ft deep concrete bowl at harrow skate park... thats what you get for not dropping in properly... made
a reasonably good friend give me an inspection cause i honestly thought i'd torn myself a new one... retired from the world of BMX after that.  |
