BMX racing

[fzr phil]

hi,
got myself a bmx yesterday, a haro pro race from tibbs cycles in canterbury, and today i was a bmx racer!
at a track quite local to me, in dagenham essex. (bad bmx club)
was a fair amount of fun, will definately try and keep going. not had a bmx for a very long time, and that was a £35 special. something i've wanted to get into for a long time. (i had to nick my brothers or even sisters bike in those days)
hope yoiu don't mind me sharing it with you!

any more bmx'ers out there?

nice! I used to race with my brother and his mates years ago on the field next to ours, it had a massive jump, trees to navigate through and nice gravely corners! we had some right spills! we had wheel discs on the back wheels like speedway bikes cos they were into speedway haha! mine had a gold smiley face hand painted on haha! my brothers mate put a cub 90 engine into a bmx frame and used to practice his speedway on it!! he ended up riding for newcastle diamonds! his dad made front suspension forks for it just like the speedway bikes aswell, there wasnt anywhere to go though and there still is'nt! not close anyway, I would still be riding now if there was, i'm 23 now and this was when gameboys first came out hahaha! I never had a new bike either they were always ralieghs my dad got from the tip! 5 quid a bike so we made one good one out of a few!

AND! we used to let our back tyres down a bit, fly down the road/hill and then turn the right hand corner into my lane getting sideways in true speedway fashion! even leg trailing hahaha! I remember it like it was yesterday

Im into BMX'in (more freestyle & crazy **** rather than racing). saw the Animal/Relentless guys Martyn Ashton & Sam Pilgrim yesterday afternoon, weather was a bit poops but still managed 360 back flips on wet ramps.

Nice bike! I used to ride while I lived in Glasgow but stupidly sold it when I left. I had a federal nation with gsport hubs. (only two interesting bits)

Looks like a nice build!

Not so sure about the colours though..... Haha

Yeah neon yellow took a bit of getting used to.. but it's different, and only 4 frames supplied that colour in the UK! (apparently). Profile rear hub on it since that pic was taken. And to try keep this relevant to Audis, no the bike never gets anywhere near my car! Thats what the van's for......
