Faze 3, cheers for the thumbs up,
No problem there fella, guess your a new member? What you planning on re-building?
Always great to get a bit of nostagia on a friday arvo ::)
-
Hey Faze 3, yeah just joined yesterday, Wanna US built Trickstar, and a White T/A. Same as i had back then. Dunno where to start though. bmx-796 pm'd me. He's got my old Race Inc. Dunno if it's still got the proclass rims on bullseye hubs or Cooks bros cranks though.
-
Can't fault your choice of builds 8) Hope you've deep pockets ;D. Don't know much about RACE INC ??? But somebody on this forum will. I joined last summer, and have only just finished my 1st build :( Takes a while if your looking to build from parts. Easier and cheaper to buy a complete build if your not fussed what bits are on it.
The best part for me though was all the work I put into finding and restoring the parts as I bought them. Check out my 1st build Haro master, posted earlier this week.

Stumpy - wicked pics....loving those lookbackes, so clicked in. Those shorts are hot too!
YES, the SUN always shines at ROM...especially when there's a good session in the performance bowl.
Most have sen these before, this is for the newby's...
pics from '83 I think....it was when Protek helmets and uniseats where the rage.

When ever I see old (or new) pics of people doing big airs in Rom performance bowl I always adopt the same position: Jaw dropped, head slowly shaking from side to side!!! So so rad!
Hey, wasnt Ralph Tribe one of the guys in that 2 page spread "Meanwhile Madness"? I spent years trying to get a picture of me doing a table top that matched up to those ones
-
those pics are so good
i'll hopefully re-visit Rom in June or July with the Yeti
