I used to work in Plastic Injection Moulding. Once I was talking to a guy who worked for a company in High Wycombe. He told me that they used to make the plastic BMX wheels. I said that the best ones were skyway and he said "thats them! I asked him if he was sure, cos there were other types that looked almost the same, but he was sure it was skyways he used to make. I wasnt so sure, and thought he must have made a mistake. Ive not thought about that till just now. I guess he was right.

My first goose, a mongoose 2 came stock  with tuffs in 1980, never had a goose logo on them though
