Old School BMX

Don't know if anybody else on here is into these, but I've just dug out my old Mag Burner from the loft and spent a few quid on it to get it back to tip top condition....its a real flyer!

26 years old!

My mates Mongoose

How Cool

I had the Knight Burner, similar to your mag burner but with the spoke wheels (multi spokes)

Thats the one

What do you think of the colour? never really paid much attention to the colour as a
child but looks a bit girly two decades later?

reading all those comments takes me back to working in bike shops in the 80s. i was into racing bikes and still am but those bmx bikes went down a storm at the time as did missing front teeth and scabby knees and elbows! i think the haro freestyler was THE one to have with Redline right up there too.

oh and Vans!! i had a pair of red ones with white soles.

actually very similar to the puma mid tops that bolly just treated me to - she says they go with the quattro
