One of my neighbors had this bike. I remember it was so weird and different.

Yeah, I wanted one of those badly.

I used to have a Mongoose and a GT. LOL!

Ahhhhh. . . . memories of simpler times. Those bikes were great. I used to LIVE on my bike. Now, I don't even see kids outside, let alone exerting any form of energy!

Never saw or heard of it. I had a Roger DeCoster.

I used to live on my Mongoose

We had a regular street gang of BMX'ers that hung out together doing tricks, riding all over town. Life was GOOD.
My kids hardly ever rode a bike....

I had a PK Ripper. Wish I still had it. A friend of mine always had Quad Angles he still has a couple.

Anyone remember Z-Rims. The flexible rims that bent. Those were

My bike was a Race Inc. Very similar to this one...

it was seriously light since it was aluminum...all the neighborhood kids were impressed how little it weighed.

I had one too. Sold it and got a Redline PL-20. Wow, that was over 20 years ago.

Yep. Those plastic 5 star rims were cool as feck, too.

Yeah, there were a bunch of us, too. Though mostly freestyle bikes. My favorite was my black GT Performer. I remember riding on the handlebar backwards, all the way to my friend's house, without a styrofoam nut sack on my head! I think you could be arrested for that now!

I had a Haro Master with Peregrine mags and always wanted a Torker II...

Anyone remember the movie Rad!?

We used to do kickouts like maniacs just to watch them flex.

Used to stick my Peregrines in the freezer to take the warp out of them. Worked with Skyways too.

Late 70's I had a stroker and a DG special.Back then they were real heavy.
