Tidelander:

Sport & Cycles in Newhaven run by the legendary Mick

M5AT:
Langstett cycles, Hillsborough, Sheffield, South Yorkshire.

Bloody ace it were.

Redline:
Around 1979 it was Viking Sales and Spares in Davyhulme Manchester run by Denis Christian. It was originally a motocross shop before turning to BMX... early Redlines, Mongoose and Kuwahara and the early MCS Magnum stuff to name but a few.
After he had the Barton BMX track built Denis changed the name of his shop to DC Racing. The original building the shop was in is now long gone but Denis moved premesis up the road and named the shop Manchester Cycle Exchange which still runs to this day. Denis retired a couple of years ago.

For a short while we also had Alpine Sports in Manchester

Around 1983 we had a shop in Altrincham called American Connection BMX Centre who manufactured the Hustler frame sets which turned up on a thread here recently.

Remember buying some Tange grips from my old shop bitd for £2.99, and down at James's a shop full of kids banging on for pegs cos of BMX Biweekly showing them. Kids today havnt seen BMX evolve like we have. And thats why I love BMX.
