Who is Rob and what magic may he weave?
I didn't think the American brotherhood subscribed to the Firebird Freestyler as a valid piece of BMX history....

When my mate found out I was building an OS bike, he said..."What is it?...A Ripper or summink?"
I then said, "No, I'm building a replica of my old Firebird!"
He replied by saying, "What?....A DP?....They were cheap crap weren't they?" :shocked:
Midschoolers eh? ....What do they know? >:D
Can't wait to see another one saved!

....had my eyes set on that chrome one that was for sale weeks ago -- then this cat, which i was taking care of starts coughing and drooling --would-nt close its mouth. So next day I bring it to the vet -- he found a bone stuck in the palate (my guess was feather) --missed the auction, but now i got this cat looking at me all day, thinking i'm superman :LolLolLolLol:
