How many years on a board?

its funny how old skate boarders and bmxers end up with vw or a hankering for one like me reading this made me chuckle , cos ive had the idea of getting a bmx and im 37 why grow when you can have fun eh

dusted my bmx off at weekend and dug up the garden and made 8 ft gap dirt jump , good times ! the wife was not amused as last time i fractured my collar bone , luckily my boss saw the funny side but i was stuck in the office for 9 weeks - doh ! wish i never sold my s&m dirtbike !!!

i still got my mongoose fuzz that was owned by the down hill mountain bike champion in this country. it's an awesome bike. 3pc profile crank, s&m dirt bars,dk headset, sunn deep wall rims in matt black wrapped in 2.5'' maxxis max daddy tyres. :cheers:

where i lived as a kid we had the only skateboard park in ireland, the BMXers and Skaters used to bus in on a friday, some of them were really good. They flattened it and build a car park becasue "insurance issues" i blame todays claim culture, i sucked at both skating and BMX

I went through 5 or 6 Supertuff burners then graduated to a Skyways, i think its still lying at the back of my dads garage somewhere

a mate of mine who i rode with decided to go to the states to ride when he was in his early 20's , his parents went ape and told him to grow up and get a proper job , he went on to become world champion and got loads of sponsors

if you havent already check out radbmx.com ! loads of old skool pics , info and parts for sale etc . im off to look for a dirtbike or holmes !

thanks Tom for the website will check it out have you been on www.bmxmuseum.com got all the bikes on there , some real nice ones from the early bmx days and still mint
drove past a cycle shop in derby after coming back from dubfreeze and they had a New Super Tuff Burner in the window , one of the re make models , tempted i fancy building old skool bike you never know what tomorrow brings eh

havent been on bmx museum but will definatley check it out ! go get that bike even if for just cruisin round the campsites at the shows , you know it makes sense !

I have a Raleigh Mag 20 at my mums, i bought it from a charity shop abot 3 years ago for £1.99. it's ugly colours and needs some work but i guess it must have been a bargain, i'll have to drag it out...

the urge got the better of me couldnt resist it :shock: got my self a bmx today an ammaco impact freestyler , was on sale

22 years and still going strong! I love it can't get enough. So if all you skater and MX'ers out there want a VW show that is based around VW's skating and BMX get yourselfs down to Viva Skegvegas on the 17th May this year we have just hade an outdoor plaza built along side our 1.7 million pound indoor skate park. wil post flyer soon

well if you dont feel like riding it in the park the sea front has a real nice smooth prom for a cruz into town, and the show is right on the sea front, you could visit buzy Lizzies whip and dip parlour for an ice cream
