If any of you are interested in BMX (anything from the early 80's to current) you need to check out "Joe Kid on a Stingray" it's the "Dogtown and Z Boys" of BMX

I loved that bike. I didn't have the moto-mags, those things are heavy! Some f*cker stole it a few years later. I'm looking for one now, just to have. Rode a Redline after that, and then a Torker.

I myself had a Super X; it was a cro-mo knockoff of the basic Mongoose design but with one gusset on the head tube/top tube/down tube junction instead of two. Mine was yellow and had chrome Tange bent forks, and Ashtabula cranks, IIRC. The year was 1976... School chums and I used to compete in our own ad hoc "Tuff Bike" competition at our elementary school. One of the events was to ride straight into the wall on the side of Room A2 at John Muir Elementary in Modesto, CA. The loser was the guy whose forks bent. The Tange was never defeated... Smile

I now ride mountain bikes rather alot - my current rides are a full XTR-spec Santa Cruz Blur and a Marin Pine Mountain set up singlespeed. I avoid riding into walls now.

I used to have a kick butt PK Ripper. Man.....those are some great memories of waking up early and riding all day, setting up ramps in the street, learning new street tricks and riding to the track to tear it up.

Just found this thread. I love this topic. I used to ride for factory Bandito Here is Socal in the 80s and I still have my 24 inch racing cruser with the cool CW bars and the dual dropouts. I took it to BBB this year and had a ton of people ask about it. OG as it was when I raced it except the seat. here's some pics
