Why is it fashion to have a trampy looking bike? I used to ride dirt and had a white mongoose and it was always in good condition and it took an awful lot of bumps and knocks.

Maybe that came out wrong. I always got stick for buying a mongoose and for it being too clean and unused but it got abused from the day I bought it, just kept on top of it.

This was mine, loved it

Edit: Only thing I changed was the front cog thing (

) because I bent it and removed the front brake and a single cable to the rear brake.

Ahh niceee lol, mine was dirty before that picture, that skate park is filled with dust which covers my bike, them pictures were taken after a quick spray with the hose lol so its never normally that clean.

Looks like a nice bike too, and yeahh, i did that but then thought meh who needs brakes and removed them both

Seriously, same here

I passed my driving test, went car mad, never used the bike, my mum gave it away and that was 5 years ago, lost touch with everyone I used to ride with too.

Was mine too thats why i started again, now im close to driving i can explore other places too

Was worried that after stopping for two years i wouldnt be able to do anything as good as before, but tbh im so much better than i was then, now lol. Not that im anything special, my personal favorite tricks are 540 tap and 360 hop

Went to rampworx a few times but my bike just wasnt suited to ramp, the frame was too long and couldnt do much on it, not that I could do much anyway... much prefered dirt.

Dont take it so seriously lads.

I rode BMX to semi pro level in the 80's/90's....christ I was practicing for 6 hours a day minimum.

Unfortunately back then there wasn't a digital format of anything, so I will allow you some comeback in terms of me taking some pics on the camera from old school photos of me in my youth.

I'm going to regret this I'm sure

I'll be back later with a freaky perm and Haro pants...
