Title: Tips and tricks from your youth
Post by: oldschoolace on March 07, 2012, 11:03 PM: Back in the day i used to ride my bmx everywhere and put plenty of miles on the clock.

Being a practical kid i had a little tin with a puncture kit, dogbone spanner and a few bob for pop and salt and vinegar thingy maize crisps jammed in the seat guts for emergencies. ;D

I also used to use 2 pound coins on the end of my bars as grip protectors and another source of emergency Mr slushy funds ;)

What tricks did you guys adopt?
