Especially a mint one in its original condition!!

A Falcon Pro Theta!

It brings back good memories!! :)

Post by: eloopnai on December 10, 2008, 06:58 PM: when bmx hit our shores i remember the first 2 kids to get one cant remember what they were though and thought yeah im into that
as more kids got them the chances of me getting one were slim at that time as i was very small for my age and while my mates were on grifters i was on a yellow boxer !
it had a red haro 2 finger lever and yellow mongoose grips and a blue mongoose single stem pad so i was getting there
eventually when i was tall enough to get one and telling my parents that i wanted one for xmas i couldnt wait for that day to come

but can you imagine my face when i got a burner :knuppel2:

so the answer to that one ratty is a defo no :LolLolLolLol:

Post by: BrianP on December 10, 2008, 08:41 PM: Love that chrome rickman stumpylee :smitten:

This is my first one, recently repainted. I still got some other bits too, and hope to rebuild it some time:

And this is my second one, which was originally built up using many donor parts from when the one above was complete.

Title: Re: How many of you have actually got their first bmx still?
Post by: dialledbikes on December 11, 2008, 10:44 AM: My first was a Moto-One. I don't have it anymore and wouldn't be bothered about having it.

Wish I still had the Supergoose II which replaced the Moto-One though (some cnuts nicked it out of my Gran's shed around 1982).
Title: Re: How many of you have actually got their first bmx still?
Post by: kdw712 on December 11, 2008, 11:28 AM: my first infact only BMX BITd was a piranha
long gone now

but i do have a frame in the waiting to be restored queue :daumenhoch:
Title: Re: How many of you have actually got their first bmx still?
Post by: se-bmxer on December 11, 2008, 11:33 AM: my very first bike was quadangle copy type bike i think it was called Panther not sure on make, it was shit and only lasted a week :LolLolLolLol:
Title: Re: How many of you have actually got their first bmx still?
Post by: Spen69 on December 11, 2008, 11:57 AM: As seems the theme here, no I don't have it but I have a copy of my first BMX, an Ammaco 202. :daumenhoch:

Actually, it kinda half counts as the Pro-Class wheels are my originals that came on the Mongoose Cali that replaced it. Rode 'em for 3 months while I saved my pocket money for a set of Tuffs, and my dad put them in his shed for safekeeping. 20 years later, whilst rummaging around in said shed, hey presto - my practically un-used Pro-Class wheels :smitten:
