I believe Radhab (the snob) is alluding to the misnomer that DP Firebirds were only ridden by kids who lived on council estates. ;)

Bangor (N.I.) BMX track 1984. Me on my DP Freestyler - I wasnt fast or fit enough to race, all i wanted to do was get air off anything that looked like a jump! Check out my Darth Vader helmet style haircut!

Glad to be here mate. Though am absolutely gutted that i sold my nos TA about 7 months ago, if id known about this site i'd have kept it. Got a pretty penny for it though and bought nuskool then went on binge with the rest! Of course now i want another oldskool bike - Goddammit!!  :'(

Plenty more pics where that came from but need to scan them in.

When I had my TA last summer I took it back to the old track and a few round Belfast, by the end of the day I was getting the vibe again, reckon if i had a few more days i'd have been up there. Am now riding a Volume Flatline but havent ventured to a track, need to get it sorted!

Christ, thats an offensive picture!  ;)

John,

The crappy kids one by the sydenham by-pass - good for getting your bmx legs back though and has been looked after well.

Ormeau Pk is crackin, has been looked after and updated, loads of big tabletops and camels etc.

Dont know bout Belvoir - it was the one with the doubles on the first straight that were like a mile apart?

Bangor track is still there but needs a bit of work, doubt if it'll ever happen though.

Title: Re: SHOW US YOUR OLD SCHOOL RIDES!
Post by: R Palmer on September 07, 2005, 01:43 PM
Must get down to Ormeau, Belvoir was a killer of a track, does there be much old school around these tracks

Do you remember Will Smyth rode for GT then Raleigh, i have been trying to get his whereabouts for a bit of input for Dan Cartwrights Raleigh website.

RP.

Post by: nornirishjon on September 07, 2005, 02:02 PM
Not much oldschool happening anywhere in nor'niron as far as I know. Still though, none of the tracks were that busy, so you've got plenty of freedom, especially if you go in the morning at weekends or during school time.

Dont rem Will Smyth.

Ok, let the mocking begin!! 1st one is me larging it back in '88 when my GT was just a baby. Those of you with a keen eye will note the multiple swatches. Oh yeah, I knew what time it was alright. Proper hardcore, freestylin' with a broken wrist. twat!!

This next little number shows me committing an old school fashion crime aboard my CW No-ped scoot.
