What BMX bike did you have as a kid?

Haro plate

Redline cranks and raced for Schwinn

It was widely accepted around my way that BMX bikes were the bikes of fools when I was a kid, that being said I never rode a bike anywhere so it was a waste of time and money for me.

 

[CraigRT]

I had a Raleigh Blue Max

 

[TridenT]

Redline, pretty sure.

Left it outside my front houses gate in the driveway one night and it was stolen. We lived in the nice neighborhood but the poor kids would always come over from the other side of town.

 

[zinfamous]

Mongoose and Diamondback, I believe.

Dave Mira is from my home town.

Rad was the greatest film in the land.

Nirvana is considered "classic music" to people of your generation.

so....your opinion is worthless.

Nobody gives a shit about your English fools, neckbeard. Go troll someplace else.

i had the Huffy Vortex which was like the bmw of bmx's back then. got stoled in detroit if i can find one to buy, i would.

Where I grew up, the name Huffy was synonymous with "low rent" or "purchased at Big Lots."

:hmm:

 

[SandEagle]

I had a Raleigh Blue Max

yup had one just like this but with white wheels. stolen. detroit sucked

 

[FoBoT]

null
i had a ten speed

My mom won a nice road bike in a drawing, but my brother and especially I were too small to ride it, so she took it to the bike shop and traded it for a Diamond Back Viper, which cost about as much as a used car in her price range. Very generous of her, and I rode that thing for almost ten years.

Fucking troll. Why did you enter this thread you worthless wise and beautiful woman?

 

[DaTT]

I had a Free Agent Vortex. I was the envy of my crew...except the guy with the 12lbs Diamond Back.

I think I had a Redline 720 at one point too....stolen I think.

No it isn't... Nirvana was music when I was a kid it wasn't "classic"

Raleigh Burner man! Blue with yellow mags How i longed to own a Diamond Back or Silver Fox though. I lived between two BMX tracks though so i was lucky in that regard.

 

[Zebo]

I remember names like mongoose and red line...been a long time I had a real motorcycle at 9. A KX-80 then a KX-125 then a KX-250. Raced until I got too big.

 

[BabaBooey]

First one of these....

Then a 1975 Mongoose Motomag later and rode that till I started driving at 13.

 

[Blieb]

I had a Murray that was a joke.
But then I got a GT Mach One ... win.
