Iconic Bmx

<< < (6/10) > >>

Flaz:
for me the most iconic uk bmx  would have to be the burner ,, most of are parents who are now in there 60's and 70's if you stuck a burner in front of them and said what type of bike is this  95% of them would answer "like the one you had as a kid, is it xbm , mxb , bmx yes thats it bmx" )   shame really aint it  but dont forget we where just coming out of the 70's and most of us where poor...

most desirable bikes Bitd    T/A   Ripper  Redline  Torker GT    where the only bikes to have where i lived,    but i did stop riding at the end of 83!!!! I cant ever remember seeing a gen 1 or any haro's come to think of it  not while i was still riding

Bigplinky:
The one bike I used to drool over in Kelly's Cycles in Sunderland was a MK1 Pro Burner (the best bike in the shop)

and through the years my own personal icons have been

1983 Patterson Long
1984 Hutch Pro Racer (black)
1985 / 86 JMC Darrell Young (candy red)

Mid school even though I rode from 92-97 I didn't take any notice of the bikes at the time I was happy as long as I had a bike to ride (85 Haro Sport and Later a 93 Haro Master both off Yoda)

New School S&M as they still manufacture in the USA or Curtis for the same reason in the UK

Oh sorry the boring selection aswell PK Ripper, Skyway TA, Haro Gen 1, Goose Mag and Hutch Pro Star

selfpreservation:
i never liked GTs but then again i never owned one probably for the same reason

Bitchy Roo:
Team Murrays from your local Halfords store, 342 red n yellow if i'm right. Looked the biz  :smitten:

etriedes:
Ripper seemed to be the dream bike ( prolly cus no one ever seen anyone with one )
Silver Streaks, seemed popular round here, all the other bikes were GT's Redlines, Kuwi's, Haro gen1, DP's, MRD's, Mongoose,

most didn't have a burner , or have them for long , wasn't cool to have one and you was laughed at  :LolLolLolLol:
