Old School BMX 1980 - 1988 > Old School Freestyle (frame stands and kickturns galore!)
Which trick got you into BMX?
Maurice Meyer:
I had my first BMX bike in like 1975 or so and since I was just a kid it was more like something you just had to have. Although I learned to wheelie across the school yard, jump stuff, bunnyhop, kickout, wheelie with a single barspin it wasn't really called freestyle. After a haitus for a few years that included some skating, I came back to BMX after seeing my friend and fellow Curb Dog Marc Babus do a smooth no brake 360 rollout. I was like "yeah. that's cool. I used to ride those things." I didn't know anything about superstars or Bob Haro or anything but that looked fun and there was a Webco with Tuffs in Tommy Guerrero's garage that wasn't getting ridden and we knew that people went out to GG park to ride.

Has to be watching Evel Knievel that got me into scrambling on my racer...

That was in the late 70s, then the Team Murrys & Mongoose Motomags starting coming over from the USA... I ended up with a MXII after killing 2 Piranhas, sweet :daumenhoch:
Beck jumping, indoor parks, riding down devils dip, the coal hills... Hartlepool was class then, and still is :)
So it's big jumps that did it for me...

Rockwalk,but not with brakes like Mr A Ruffell,looked great if you could pull off 2 or 3 in a row but you had to be going pretty quick, :2funny:
