Just a good fake. Nick Phillips 86 wall ride style.

Man. I would love to see that! I had a Mud Machine hoody with a cartoon of a dude (bit like radical rick) doin' a Miami hopper on the back...wish I still had that! ::)
-
Utterly mucking fint.
-
Awesome!
I've put it on the radbmx insta account and it's getting a lot of love
-
Love the vibe of this. Really bored of "factory correct" builds. Seen 1 seen em all. This took me right back there. Excellent work!

Many thanks. Although I appreciate the time an skill that go into the " factory correct builds" for me it just wouldn't be fun!
-
I absolutely love this build, takes me right back to probably my favourite old school period. I had an electric blue Pro Performer at the time and I covered that with fluro Anarchic Adjustment stickers. Top job, would love to do something similar myself! :daumenhoch:
-
Agreed, that was my favourite era to!
The dawn of proper street riding.
Love those magazine scans also...anyone got any more to post up?!
And where did you get those Anarchic Adjustment stickers? I want some!
-
Wow I love it, it's both bmx and art at the same time :4_17_5:
-
Someone sent me some old R.A.D mags today, flicking through and found this....

I've had a shit week so far ... dealing with shit news about good people ... and injuries myself ... so its great to get to Wednesday and things start improving.
Steve ... if I said someone had shown Nick Philip my instagram pick of your bike I bet you'd be stoked :-)
Well they did ... instagramer BSDForever showed Mr Anarchy himself ... this is what he had to say ...
""He did a good job in replicating it. I had fake barbed wire on my bmx (it had plastic barbs on it) and created a huge scandal with concerned parents thinking we were setting a dangerous example for for the kids. We had to actually show pictures later that they were just plastic. He did a good job of approximating that."
fistblump how rad is that ... well done bud

that gt street set-up reminds me of a INTRO article in R.A.D back in the late 80s, with a guy called COW doing a wall ride out of a fly off ramp 8) hes riding a stickered and newspaper colarged GT/freestyler 86-88 model, with black skyways plus odd pedals and very cool/ghetto looking :daumenhoch:

I think they have made some, if not it wouldn't be a problem for Pat anyway I wouldn't have thought, his specialty is custom & one off fabrications, and he's a rider :daumenhoch:

inspired by the UK 86 to 88 street riders. Just a few more jobs to sort-Dx pedals in streetbeat Orange, and a few more stickers to slap on.
Was going to sort my Bars this month, but after contacting Limitit Fabrications they stated that they won't produce Actionzone bars full stop. Cany any one help point me in another possible direction?
Thanks,
Steve.

Yes , your bang on Damo explosion .Was discussing the neon yellow with my brother Yesterday.

Nice snag,those were the bars listed with the GT that the bloke had no idea about I believe? shame he must of had all the advice in the world from people with no intention of buying? on there worth? ::)
Love that bike tho fella :4_17_5: :daumenhoch:
-
That is cool, I based my Retro Pro-performer on a similar idea around the end of the 80's when anything went, but newschool stuff is a bit more sober in colours. Been meaning to put 4pc bars on it for ages now but those Action Zones are a great find for yours :smitten:
Here's mine, slightly less bright to say the least but I get where you're coming from with yours :coolsmiley:
