    One for the vintage BMX tragics...

    I think there's a few here?

    Sweeeeet. That website brought back a lot of fond memories of cycling a long way away from home, for up to eight hours at a time, and my folks only having a vague idea of where we were.
    And the only means of communication was the Telecom payphone if you were really in the $hit, or hurt because you had a really big stack trying to emulate a 3 metre high pancake jump on the Mongoose.
    Awesome times - so far away from the modern day.

      We would do a ride out to the end of the world (Wanneroo) on school holidays for something to do, would take a full day riding. Racing took place out even further away in the sticks, Malaga at Abe Schneider's Bmx action park.
      Fun days!

        What!? That was my old stomping ground. The Malaga BMX track, Mussel Pools, and the clay pans by the Swan River near the bridge at Guildford.

          '83 Diamond Back Silver Streak was my weapon of choice.....

          Its interesting to contemplate that my old (sadly now gone) DB SS was probably being manufactured in Koizumi the same time that my SC Cabriolet was rolling down the line at Zuffenhausen.
