'80/'81 I think, I can still clearly remember my mate Terry wheeling his new Diamondback across the playground one morning at school. Chrome and black and decals glinting in the sun. That's where it began for me

I borrowed a BMX in 1983 from Christopher Biggins.

Winter time 1977-78,  I msde friends with a Canadian guy that came over to stay with his aunt (Peter frank Andrews) and he brought over his bike,  looked like a motorbike (front and rest suspension) without an engine,  that's the first time i Heard of Bmx,  was 3 years later when all the tin murrays landed....
