At first glance those pics look like there from the thirties or something till you see the modern looking van in the background so prob 60's which is not that long before some of us started really!!!

Where/what are they from Mart??

Goes to show that nobody does anything new ! They don't seem to have any brakes, unless they had fixed wheels or coasters !

So the Americans/Scott Breithaupt didn't invent BMX then.  It was the Dutchies!
