Some of my fondest memories was everyone riding to the frozen cup ladies house for a frozen cup (pink lemonade FTW), devouring that bad boy, and then placing the plastic cup in the spokes so our bikes would mimic
motorcycles.


Also, building ramps to ride off of X-Games style. God Bless Children's Hospital.

Murray Jackrabbit Mid 1970s. It came with a long, very padded seat, along with the front shock made it very comfortable for doing wheelies and such.

I did changes kind of like this one. I took off the number plate and put it on a a new set of handlebars, and I added a saddle but in black with the diamond pattern like Fujis came with.

The next one I had was a bmx style with big foot pegs and dual top frame tubes but I can’t recall who made it.

Got a Trek 800 in 1990 and I still ride it regularly.

GT Pro Freestyle Tour Team Model (basically a tricked out Pro Performer). ACS wheels and hubs. Dyno bars and seat post. Odyssey gyro. GT tires, grips, and seat. I used Skyway Mags from time to time. I liked the mags better when riding vert. Dia Compe front brakes and Odyssey rear brakes.

Was on a freestyle team back in the mid to late 80’s and up to about ‘91. Every weekend was spent doing shows and riding. Every single afternoon was spent practicing. Everything revolved around freestyle for about 8 years. Riding was Life. I miss it so much.

My hero’s back then were Hoffman, Eddie Fiola, Josh White, Mile Dominguez, Martin Aparijo, Dennis McCoy,...

Redline 250 A

Grew up very close to and raced at Shipley's in Central.
When the Redline was stolen, Jeff frankensteined a mongoose frame and forks with a bunch of other leftover and extra parts and sold it to me.

Diamond Back....I can't believe I didn't break anything.
