i had that exact same mongoose,was my step up from the mk1 burner ,had renthals tuffs,dc,and all sorts of other stuff on that bike i fookin loved it,remember it well me and my lil brother going to the local bike shop just before xmas picking our rides our of course we wanted the expensive stuff but my old man wasnt having it ,i got the goose my brother got an ammaco,rode it for years then i sold it for £80 when i joined the army cadets to buy a camo jacket then gave up bmx.great times with that bike and always remember dragging my old man on the trips up from tun wells on the train to ot cycles, and my old man moaning bout the hill to get to the place.

The owner of the Haro looks like a bit of a unit.........did he crack the gusset with that amount of mass behind him doing that endo. And acorns, perhaps it was his one on ebay with the acorns a little while ago for about 2076 trillion quid??? ???

Nice pics matey  :daumenhoch:

The kids jumping the double on the last straight at Bulwell are

Chris Bird and Kim Carbutt that would probably date it to 1983 as Chris broke his leg late that year and stopped racing (not before he got 1NE for the 13 years age group). How do I know this got 2NE behind him that year.

Andy
