before bmx what did you ride.....
gavking:
My first bike I remember was a budgie, Then a commando. on to a grifter which I covered in mirrors air horns a whip ariel and indicators. It was as heavy as hell but thought I was a mod so kept it that way till I saw a puch murray in halfords with lester mags on it.
I got that for christmass and over the next few years had every BMX I could get my hands on.
Best days of my life!!! Still see a lot of mates from bitd and they all think the same as me (14 years of age in a 39 year olds body) .
selfpreservation:
chipper for me i learned to ride on that thing, iremember my mum and dad saying right lets get you a bike then , they drove me to an alleyway were a guy was floggin second hand bikes (this is my memory of it anyway i must have been about five) and got a blue chiper i can remember my dad pushing me along then letting go that moment of axhilaration theres nothing like it , it was like flying , later i removed the backrest and put it on my supertuff for no handed wheelies

tricknuts:
reading this thread makes me realise how much of a monopoly raleigh had on the Uk bile scene. no wonder they were crap. no competition to make decent bikes...
I staretd with a chipper then a chopper. i even put indicators on my chopper :-[ oh dear oh dear.. the went to a tuff burner, ammaco 202 frame with yellow tuffs ( sprayed white) then a CC prolite with blue acorns. Gave that to a mate, then got a Gt performer in the dying years. Did without from 1989 until 1999 when i bought a we the people.
Last year built up a old school haro sport, but also bought a S&M stricker frame. new schooler. best bike Ive ever ridden.
nothing beats the feeling of being back on a BMX at 35.. absolutely love it.. :4_17_5:
