My buddies and i were all into BMX bikes. Good times. I'm still into biking, just mountain biking now. I took a nasty spill on my bmx bike that kind of scared me away from it.

I loved bmx growing up and miss those days of building table tops and doubles with friends. I still have my Race inc. bike wich was one of the baddest bmx bikes of its time. But soon after I was all about dirtbikes.

Had good times used to roll deep to the skate park over here at tanzanite skate located in sacramento. Fucken hated when i get a pedal bites thats why my legs look like shit,I sprained my ankle many times by trying to do 180s 360s when i jump of the bowl. My homies did table tops when there in mid air, But I eventually stop because no more medical.Had lots of easterns bikes with primo rims but got stolen with the 2 teeth sprockets and a 8 cassette. Bmx parts are not cheap thats why i just sold that shit.

I had a Vintage Schwinn Predator from 1983. Just sold it recently to fund my Mustang, but I rode that thing everywhere. To school, to the store, you name it. I also pulled a few tricks with it. Sturdy bike, they just don't make them like they used to.

I was really into it until i was around 17... I raced in Colorado, Utah, Oregan...even Canada at nationals during the world fair back in like 86'. I think the highest I got in points was 7 in my district.

I still have my old school Boss when they were still being built out of Oakland with Ukai wheels, bullseye hubs, 3 piece redline cranks, DK stem Boss bars, bear claw pedals etc.... I just had the frame re-chromed about 2 years ago. I've had it for appx 25 years now. I've switched gears to road bikes but I still have love for my BMX. I actually have a 24" Redline that I still occasionally ride at the BMX track in Cupertino.

I remember Boss! I loved their "3-bar" handle bars! I have bear claw pedals on my old school redline too. Those were the days

I used to, but got to big to be comfortable.....killed my back. I got a mongoose aftershock and Patterson racing frame hanging from the rafters. I took my first bike, which I got from my brother when I was 5 (mongoose super goose I think) and built it up with some cool parts....original redline 3 piece cranks, pit bull rear brake and power light handlebars w/ the bends in them. Stripped my other bikes for it and gave it to my 5yr old nefew. He rode it a couple times a tossed it in the shed. .....fucker
