Radsters and their history
pickle:
Crashes? well had a few 'offs' but my worst one was when my (wet) Fuan 8 grips decided to come off mid air sending me face first into the tarmac! also a beartrap style pedal taking a huge chunk out of my shin revieling my shin bone....35 stitches and a lovely big Y scar on my leg! :daumenhoch:
Memories? my best memories of BMX as a youngster are just 'Living' for BMX! when i woke up in the morning i just wanted to get out on my bike........meeting up with friends that loved it as much as i did! cycling to the local shop and dreaming of owning the TA or Redline hanging up behind the counter! making ramps with old wood we could find and milk crates full of bricks! laying in bed (and this is sad i know but i can remember doing it as a child) pretending to be riding my BMX using my fingers as the bike and doing jumps and airs..........also remember getting the p*ss ripped out of me when BMX Bandits came out, as all the other kids used to sing 'BMX boys have a lot of fun....or BMX Boys take up the B*m! :-\
Salad days!!! :daumenhoch: :4_17_5:

Nikki, what about when you knackered your knee?
I was only in hospital once with a broken wrist, but that's when I fell off a seesaw :( rode home on my bmx though.

:LolLolLolLol: forgot that one, 35mph from 8ft in the air onto concrete, the syringing fluid off without painkillers was nice.

when i was a kid, i was doing a backwards nose wheelie on a trick ramp - where you endo on a ramp and release your front brake and roll backwards down the ramp on your front wheel. one time, as i went to endo, my front brake cable snapped and i headplanted the ramp hard. knocked me out cold for about half an hour. the funny thing was, my mum saw it from the kitchen and saw me lying there for half an hour and didn't come out to check on me. when i finally made it back to my house, my mum said she thought i was just having a rest. >:(
