My first bmx bike was a dyno VFR. Then I got a gt mach one. I did some stupid shite on those bikes: jumping off picnic tables and ramps. No wonder I broke my arm when I was 11

I bastardized a Huffy 10 Speed. Nearly killed myself.

Mongoose was the tits in the mid 80s. Now you buy them at Walmart.

Dyno over here myself.
I would ride it to the bmx store on jones creek regularly to look at bike stuff.
I would work jobs and do random stuff to make money to get new gear for the bike.
I rode in tons of races at the bike track at kenilworth. I freaking loved doing those races

Diamondback from Capital Cyclery in Lafayette. Circa 1993/94

Whatever the Wal-mart special was unfortunately. We were poor. My wife’s Dad owns a bike shop so in the early 90’s I got into mountain biking and had a top of the line Haro. Good times.

Grew up in the late ‘50s, early ‘60s pre-BMX era on a 26-inch, black Schwin that we could do crazy shite on. Customized those babies and they were fast and stable. Almost like riding with a gyroscope attached.

Had a little red Schwinn, loved that bike, when I outgrew it Santa brought me a red Fuji with red mags, nothing spectacular, but I pimped it out a little with grass cutting money, some nice pads and some shiney red metal pedals that would skin the crap out of your shins, good times
