Can't remember if billy made it or not, we'll have to see how his memory serves him, was taken feb '84 i think.Here's a couple more,
This was a great line.

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.

Post by: Faze 3 on April 27, 2007, 04:14 PM
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
