What was your local BMX shop back in the day?
MartyC:
Early days it was Apline Sports in Nottinghill Gate, then Alpine Action, then Alpine Sports again in High St Kensington. Managed to persuade Heff's Bike Shop in West Drayton to get some BMX stuff in around '81/'82, then got a job in there working Saturdays and school holidays, also managed to get him to sponsor me and a few other local riders. would haveten go to Surrey BMX of Surrey Skatebaords fame in Woking too as one of my best mates lived not too far from the shop.
There were loads of bike shops selling BMX near us in the end though, Don McKellow's in Hayes End, Spokes in Ruislip and the Chalfonts, Stows in Slough, Ivor J Clarkes in Harefield and a few more that I can;t remember the names of LOL!

Saw my first bmx, in a small shop in my village, called BIKE MAN, visited everyday and wanted a blue bike with yellow lester mags, then they got in the range of Diamond Backs including the Harry Leary Turbo... well....:shocked: :smitten: , They moved to Royston and became SIGMA CYCLES
Got into racing, and used CUSTOM RIDERS in Hitchin, now in Letchworth... gen 1 hanging on the wall..
