Blimey, cold there is it!

I used to have a Raliegh Burner, think it was called mag burner. Always remember the 'oval competition racing frame'

Guess that was considered too main stream to a die hard bmx lover?

Do you find the Parkinson's makes wheelies a little more difficult?

Wow that brings back some memories, I had a Ammaco something or another, can't remember. My brother still has his Raleigh Aero Pro Burner, unfortunately it's rusting away in his garage.

I had a black P.K. Ripper with red Tuff 2's which I still regret swapping !

Along with the VDC Monkey Bars that were on it...........................

I also had two DP (Firebird) Freestylers with white Acorn mags.

A cheapie Rhino Pro in chrome with black Skyway copies.

I sometimes think of trying to re-live my miss spent youth but with the extra tonnage I now carry, it would all end it tears !

I always wanted a GT Performer, maybe a yellow one like Eddie Fiola ?

You're never to old fella, a friend of mine still rides weekly...38 years old and carrying quite a few extra pounds.

The last time i had a ride was a couple of years ago, i bought my son a We The People Reason for his birthday, had a play at the skate park with him...
