During the long summer of 82 my brother had a Hafords Tracker and I had my Grifter. A few kids had BMX's and the local rich kid had two - a white Ammaco 202 and a black CyclePro with yellow OGK's. We used to all have a go on whichever was spare and jump off the ramps we'd made down the local bomb-hole.
In spring 83 when the aforementioned local rich kid got upgraded to a brand new mk3 Supergoose then my brother and I had saved enough money to pay for half of his old bikes and our parents bought the rest. £30 each they were.... Rode the cr@p out of them all summer and then Christmas 83 got a Mongoose Cali and my bro got his Chromo Burner.
Broke practically every part on it except the frame for another 18 months then sold it to pay for my first holiday away from my patents just after my 16th birthday as it had been dusty a while due to the discovery of girls and what I got off my girlfriend for my 15th birthday the summer before had made it impossible to concentrate solely on BMX..... :shocked:
Mountain bikes for a few years folowed then my bro found a NOS boxed Ammaco 202 for my 30th birthday in summer '99 and we've been back on the scene ever since. Found this place a good few years later but already had a Gen1 and a Cali in my garage as well as the Ammaco (which is the black one I still have).
When it's in your blood it's in your blood. The ramp nights are great even though i'm not very good but I still have a good go and the pub rides are mental, especially Radchester. But MK is the one weekend I get off a year from the world which is why I go a bit mad there with you lot...... :daumenhoch:
