Old School BMX 1980 - 1988 > Old School Freestyle (frame stands and kickturns galore!)
Which trick got you into BMX?

Same as most on here, especially Bren.
Evel Knievel was my hero as a kid and I used to wheelie and jump everybike i had from my Tomahawk Formula 3 (gold, mags and 3 gears), then my grifter.
We used to make ramps out of anything we could find (mud or wood) and jump over things and each other.
Saw a red and yellow BMX in a local shop (must have been about 1980) and just wanted one. It looked so cool.
Didn't know much about the BMX scene in the states or uk, but got into once I had my MK1 burner. Then read everything i could about BMX and learned every trick that I could.
Happy days indeed.

I remember riding with James White late 80s early 90s. It's funny cos I've found loads of old stuff at my mum's house recently. I found an old diary I had written (my school made us do this). One entry read, I beat James White in a front hop comp. I did 35 to his 18. :2funny:
