Lmao. You know, ride upto the kerb, stick ur front brake on, life the back wheel off the ground, not too far or you end up eating the kerb lol and then follow up with a roll back and see how many times you can go round in a circle.

New project , arrived last week a barn find in Florida








Parts soaked in oxylic acid for the past 48 hours









Next job , remove the seat post that is oxidised



Then the frame and forks will be shot blasted and painted in the ET Kuwahara factory colours

I've got too many BMX projects on the go

Main one is my Tange Hot Heart build which I'm doing with strictly Tange/Tioga parts. Frame has been strippped and powercoated, I have most of the components now, just need a set of fat/thin red Comp III's and my decals made up . . .





Also have a Mk1 red/yellow Burner on the go and a prototype Aero Pro build in progress. Recently sold my Aero Reflex and custom Mk2 Burner. Got boxes and boxes of mint NOS parts stashed away

I had a Raleigh Burner... yellow/blue colour with spokes. that was early 80's.. before most kids had one.. sold it a few years later.. when most kids were getting BMX's

I remember at the time there were Mongoose BMX's too

Seen a lot with the heart drilled out since the frame is the same a the Kuwi. That's the reason I won't be doing it Don't see many proper Hot Heart build's so it'll be a bit of a rarity

Great seeing some bikes from my childhood. I always remember one move on the TV programme, The Cherry Picker. I remember thinking WTF! BMX-ing was great back in the day.

I sold a rough as ****e 1988 haro master a few years ago for £485, big money in the retro stuff!

Also just sold a lovely redline flight xxl not long ago, very nice machine, was going to get back into racing but the mountain bike will suffice for now:-)

Here's the redline
