Hee hee nice bike, I wonder how many of us still have our bikes as well ? I always wanted a Raleigh Chopper and wasn't allowed one I got a sensible Raleigh Twenty instead !! I ended up chopping my bike up trying to build a Chopper. A few years back I found a mint purple Mark 1 Chopper in a shed in the back of a mates place..I had to have it, it's restored , but I won't let my kids ride it. I too was a skater, surfer and BMX racer. I had a chrome Mongoose BMXer which I traded for car parts. i wouldn't mind having that back too !!!

Yeah, i used to be a skeg! Did any else call them skegs or is that just us?

Anyway, I still have my SCS deck, gullwing trucks, and alien workshop wheels....somewhere.

This all stopped when I got my licence.

I was never into BMX, but I still go mountain bike riding

I used to skate loads but it's been years since I last did. I probably still have some bits of my old one lying around even now. That kind of faded away once I got into cars.
Still have my old skool bmx though, and I still ride it even though I'm the wrong side of 30 :D It's looking abit rusty these days. Maybe I'll be restoring it one day




Note the high performance Nissan it's leaning on

still skate occasionally as im still young....only 18....but oncei got me license and me datto....well skating is very rare...and having your skateboard stolen doesn't help...my datto 1000 is still plastered with skate stickers on it...not panel with out em'...quite well known round town

used to skate :) and rolla blade in the real old days , the last time on got on one of those death boards i broke my left elbow and took half my skin off, plus and minus a few toe nails..... the datto is a better way of gettting round

Skating is kinda anti-establishment.. So is owning a Datto, especially a worked noisy one..there's the parallel. I used to skate a bit, maybe a little more than the norm..but that's where it ends. Like I said above, it's all about the statement that says "I don't need your fancy new cars, or the luxuries of the modern world"

Although it takes a fair bit energy to remain defiant against the world...That's why I have a Newer car and my dattos

Chris

the two guys ive met at the wreckers round here are/were skaters and so was my bo-in-law

just wondering if its coincidence or its some sort of weird trend

Me and 1200rc were talking and both of use skated in early years, and still sometimes do. anyone else skate, as 1200rc says 1200's attract skaters
