Like me, do you sneakily look at what BMX's people are riding when you are out and about?
Usually they are not even worth giving a second glance to but today I was driving to a meeting (Cos im ded important :laugh:)
When I saw a lad riding along the pavement on a pretty beatup TNT Hwa Fong Daddy!
Cool :daumenhoch:
-
worth a push over n run imo lol
yep do it all the time rubber necker .
and always do a double check to be sure its a pos.
-
Always a bit dubious watching kids on bikes while driving :LolLolLolLol: but yes I do have a look, my misses usually says ''look a little boy on a bmx'' :yahoo_silent:
Paul :)

we had a kid on my estate at my old place that rode about on a super burner and walking through the town the other day spotted yet another super burner padlocked to a fence. Shame i'm not a fan of burners i spoze. i saw a kid on a chrome Mongoose, early one with the gusset and blue annodised bits on it on my way to rom one morning :daumenhoch:
-
im not far from cambridge and go over a fare bit.the city of bikes
you lot might laugh to see some strange bikes with bmx parts on.
i often walk into people as im not looking ahead just at bikes .
-
i always look at bikes when they ride past me, or i drive past them.........although with the kids round my way you can normally hear their bikes a mile away with the squeeking of non oiled chains and clunking of cheap loose baring Halfords full suss bikes :buck2:
-
Last week i saw two kids ride past, one on a Diamond back (maybe a Viper) and one on a similar aged Mongoose.
About a year ago I saw a Standard Lengthy ride past, super pros and everything. I know the guy who used to own it, but it was an 11 year old girl who was riding it.
The top one that has been seen a few times around Oxford is a VDC Changa. I saw it a few times in the early 90s but the kid didnt wanna stop (even tho I shouted at him). It has been seen a few times over the last few years. One mate saw it locked up on a main road. I told him he should have stood by it and offered the owner £50 for it. I know who that used to belong to; a bouncer at one of the clubs in town.

I Get It All The time, once i saw a kid at a moto-x meeting riding on a diamond back viper and i had some decent parts on it... i tryed everything to get him to sell it to me... but he wouldnt budge :( :(
-
I've just driven home and have never seen so many kids on bikes since the 80's - everywhere I looked, packs of a dozen or so yoofs, all on bikes, but mainly shitter BMX's
My neck aches from trying to spot a 'diamond in the rough' :LolLolLolLol:
-
I do it all the time, there's a couple of good ones being ridden round Hounslow where I work and I've seen a youngish kid (early 20's!) riding a red frame, chrome forks couldn't make out what it was but he had Gen 2 profiles on it and polished araya aero's, very clean and very nice round by Hillingdon Hospital a few times.
-
i saw a woman riding a bmx today....
forks were backwards :LolLolLolLol:
a while back in the summer i thought i saw a couple riding through victoria park in hackney on a survivor gt performer and a diamond back
-

Should have just run them over Matt :daumenhoch:
-
there is a gang of young riders in stafford
i have seen them in the town, all wide bars, dull colours, and low seats
they are all sub 16 years old
great to see the new breed keeping shit going
never see anyone riding any old school beauties though. well, the odd burner, but nothing worth stopping for

Picked my eldest up from school the other day,on the way back saw a kid in her year riding a white Piranha(with twin t/t??),CW bars and blue Aero Zytecs.naurally,she's doing some investigating for me!
-
Always on the lookout,
I only got into OS bmx's because i accidently stumbled upon a DB turbo a few months back in a ratty old secondhand shop.
Ive since had a mk2 aero pro, and a midschool s&m HAF (gsport parts) at the local car boot.
also a mint 1" built up dirtbike in the classifieds.
its all out there!
I saw a kid on a 80's gt, really rare lookin polished stem, mx1000's with weinmann adjusters. all minty fresh.
tried to ask casually if he'd sell it, but he seemed to want to finish his paer round so I ceased creeping him out.
-
whilst at tescos the other day there was homeless guy hanging around
outside with the obligatory "dog on a piece of string" ::)
he had with him a really old knackered shopper type bike that looked like he'd
pulled out of a lake ;D
but as i walked pasted him the stem caught my eye.
it had a early tuff neck fitted and painted black :shocked: :shocked: :shocked:
i was going to approach him but the wife pulled me away :2funny: :2funny:
-
more interesting thing i had was in thailand last year and a homeless guy rode past on a pk ripper looptail with basket bolted on the back . nearly thought about offering money for it but then thought he uses it more than if bought over here and just sat in a garage and hardly used
-
also last week we went up to the lake district for a few nights.
on the sunday we took a trip to the Campbell museum and the only
pic i took was this :2funny: :2funny:
it was hanging on the wall and looked totally out of place ???
