How many of you were BMX'ers? Something you should know...!!

staceyz

I was just cleaning out some of my old stuff my parents saved from when I was a teenager, and found a box of about 50 old BMX magazines from 1982-1986, BMX Action, BMX Plus... etc. I didn't want them.. so I put them on Ebay and they brought in $700!!! More cash for the 23 window project!! Dancing

And to think.. I was about to throw them into recycling...!! Start digging through those boxes...!

It never fails to amaze me what some people will pay for stuff we're willing to toss in the trash. I can't wait to sort all of my old car mags after my move is complete.

My grandma always used to say 'one man's trash is another man's treasure.' Ebay(and other sites) have allowed us to look farther for that 'other man.'

i used to constantly have my bike in the dirt. problem was my folks were too poor to buy me a good one so i had a cheap bike! i went through them like crazy. should have just bought me one good one! as far as mags go, i usually sell my previous years hot vws, vw trends and vw world mags at my swap spot each year. i only charge a buck for the U.S. ones and 2 bucks for the Brit one. kind makes me fel like i am helping towards the subscription costs.

I used to have this crazy mongoose my parents got me. Anybody seen one? It's just like a 20" BMX but the head and center posts were stretched up for a taller kid. It was all chrome and Blue anodized. Bad ass. Wish I still had it. Sad

I had an NOS redline gooseneck and white nut cracker pad that fetched over $150 a few years ago on ebay... a pair of shimano cranks and old school pedals only got around $35... go figure. I did bmx from '78 to 81. I wish I had my old DG racer now. Crying or Very sad

I wish I still had my nickel plated Redline with the square rear frame. It had araya rims and bullseye hubs too!

At least I still have my Star Wars early bird action figures and a few other things.

i think i had a gt performer...all white with pink graphics and mags and an odysy gyroscope?, a chrome mongoose Team or Special? and the quickest, a Robinson something or other...chrome with blue and red graphics...all three were stolen Sad

my dream bmx was the pk ripper...heavy as a tank with a landing gear fork...think i really just liked the name and the price was so hi that it just seemed to be a good dream bike...

and the BMX mags i ditched along with my GI-Joes and Transformers at a garage sale so i could get an RC-10...man i was in seventh heaven when i got that thing...i think i ended up trading the RC-10 for a couple dime bags...that's where i found eight heaven and then hell when i got caught in eigth heaven...

bmx bike tended to disappear in my neighborhood...of course coming home and ghost ridding it across the front yard while running inside to watch thundercats or he-man didn't help....
