It would be an entertaining ride with some wheel discs on a windy day!

Some of the bottom has been cut off and the front, a extra hole added and the windjammer is actually faded on from the original decal that is faded.

Post by: factory pilot on March 21, 2016, 12:31 PM: The 80s always seemed to be about "the future" and these Windjammers were just that ... Like the Sinclair C5 there were all form over function! I really wanted one BITD ... Freestyle BMX was all about gizmos and gimmicks...

Definitely remember a DP rider using one and going 'wow ... How cool!' ..., and cos Eddie Fiola used the wheel discs they were bitchin' :daumenhoch:

It's weird but I was only thing about these yesterday after seeing them in an Action Bike ... I was thinking how easy it would be to get one made up :)

I loved plates and stickers as a kid and these were just another extension of that so they were Rad!
