Aaah brings memories back of my former youth. They are in remarkably good condition considering their age. Do you still ride them?
Still got my Rubix Cube

Awesome, I had 2 of the super tuffs in my youth. Remember spending the whole weekend stripping off the nasty gold plastic covering, from the whole frame

Yep skyway wheels.

I'm not jealous!

I always wanted a Burner but never got one. I had some Gitaine thing which I snapped, no really the frame snapped in half! It did have Cdubs and Bear Traps though

WOW those bikes are in fantastic condition.

I would imagine they will be worth a lot of money one day.

I'm surprised the supertough burner has kept its gold mine fell off in about three weeks probably due to the acid rain in Slough.

What a fantastic collection well done

Good stuff. I had a Super Burner. It weighed a ton though - I always wanted a P K Ripper or something lighter.

Hmm just checked ebay and there's one with on there with original 7 spokes guess I was wrong.

the origional Burners (Tuff and Super Tuff), all came with Tuff2's...I think the later cheaper versions came with aero zytechs...don't remember any seven spoked mags though

They look superb, I never had a BMX, though I liked them I couldnt cope with only one gear, too much of a speed merchant, still used to do the same jumps on a racer which is probably why it had extra bits welded in the rear stays where it kept cracking !

Anyone remember the Raleigh Bomber, sort of cruiser/proto mountain bike, weighed about a tonne and a half, my cousin had one, remember doing perfect donuts on a frozen pond on it cos the tyres were so baloon like.

I remember my mate Rob having a garage job BMX, i.e. cheap but he could really do some good stuff, used to get the BMX mag and was always on about Andy Ruffell and we used to lust over the expensive imported American Bike's like Mongoose's and Huffy's, then one day he appears at my back door on a brand new Diamond Back, the shock was like if J4cko's mate turneing up in a brand new F430, we had never even seen one and there it was, his gran had died and left him a few quid so he went and bought the Diamon Back.

Still have Diamond Back Mountain bike (Topanga), cicra 1990, cant bring myself to get rid, its mint.

I had a Burner. The protective pad on the frame makes me laugh now. That tiny bit of foam did nothing to preserve the crown jewels. The amount of times I fell foul on that thing still brings tears to my eyes

I beg to differ after sampling the effects with and without - yes it still ****** hurt but there was a difference

I remember one of the stupidest things we did as kids was lie down after a ramp and see how many of your mates you could jump over

Fantastic bikes mate - Cant believe the condition of them, awesome.

Got me thinking back to my old bike a Robinson Pro which cost a fortune back then - £400+ but loved it. Found a couple of pics on the net,,,brings a tear to my eye.
