Just had a great flashback of my hand me down bmx I got from a male cousin. Now wondering what happened to it, think I was made hand it down to a neighbours kid. If only I'd known how much I'd want it back one day.

hi ger what are you bringing i think paul is bringing his pros proper old skool classics he will steal the show!! im bringing a chrome unrestored 85 styler, hard to find are the chrome mk2 burners , stylers even rarer with the r cut outs!! im also going to bring my survivor 85 white mag burner, the one that was re-issued in 2008 , i try collect my bikes in survivor condition i dont own one restored bmx!! its just the way i like to collect the history that comes with a survivor is priceless in my book, but if you really get a bad one then you have to restore i guess??? any bikes i did restore i end up selling anyway, i suppose it all boils down to luck, i got lucky with what i got in survivor condition and i think i can speak for paul, he was poxed lucky with what he got all those cr-mos, ya jammy bastard!!! hahahahah :-) only buzzing

looking forward, lets hope its the start of somthing big in old skool bmx ireland!!

I hope this event went well, it sounds amazing. I would love to get involved next year, my big stumbling block though is the lack of a Raleigh Burner, I have a mini burner in the attic but I think it's about time I moved up to the full burner. My problem is that I don't know where to start, would anyone have any suggestions on the best way to come about a burner, what pitfalls should I watch for, is it an addiction, will I find a burner and then crave another?

guys, have a question and didnt know where to post this, (which thread).
im into extreme sports always watching them. skateboarding or bmxing. love them all. im pretty quiet i dont go out drinking or partying or any of that so in my free time after work i play computer games or do some photography etc. well i was thinking of buying a bmx bike for messing about on and learning a few tricks. i had one years ago and always thought and wanted to buy one since. my question is, well im not exactly a kid.. im 27. so this sounds stupid i know alot of people would laugh at me but im not into soccer or gaa football or hurling. ya know. what do you think, would i be daft!? i have a car but to be honest i miss having a bike for at home. im stuck inside most evenings bored to me t*ts. petrol is so deer now i go out when needed. how old are most of you here anyways. id love to go to one of these events and take some photography shots of it.

you think getting an old skool bmx is a bit daft caues your 27 and your worryed people might laugh? first up who gives a **** what people think, 2th do what you want to do, 3th get an old school bmx becaues it keeps you young at heart , 4th i think is stupid to get up every morning to do a job you dont want to do then go home and do the same **** day in day out! everybody needs somthing man, old skool bmxing is one of the best hobbys around, the new film super 8 is based in 1979 great film, great time to be a kid and great bmx in it , its coming back big time! , all the lads including myself are no younger then 36 - 37 right up to 40, it was our time the 70s and 80s it was great and thats why we still have or memorys today our beloved old skool bmx!! they are hard to find but when you get one your hooked!! go for it , enjoy
