Old school bmx

[keith dublin]

Well what did you have,and do you still have it
Still have my 1982 raleigh grifter mint
And a dp firebird freestyler 1985 up in the attic
Also had a raleigh cromo ( sold it years ago and in still sick over it)
So any bmx heads on here.
Cheers
Keith

The good old days
Orange one is the dp firebird
And the raleigh is an aero por I'm thinking about buying off adverts

 

[keith dublin]

Burner mk 2
And my grifter mk1

Nice collection there Keith

 

[scoobycolm]

Had a ultra burner
And a couple off burners too
Used to have a bike shop in my garage as a kid
And fix other lads bikes and sell mag wheels pegs etc

 

[JAMIE-TYPERV6]

I started off with a Chrome Styler with mags... by the way... none of the below pics are my actual bikes...



Then got Team Burner...




And got back into it in the 90's and bought a new Haro Shredder Deluxe in 1995 which was a great bike...



Really, really regret selling them all.. Especially the ol skool Raleighs!!

ever see the fella autotrans up on the greenhills road
he has a mint chopper hanging from the roof off his workshop
my cousin did a meatloaf bat out off hell version years ago
with a bat hanging between the handlebars and the suede seat and all that
different times

If that aero pro is not going to the uk
I think ill have to treat myself to a x mas prezzy
The best old school bmx imo
He has an offer of 1000 euro on it

wasnt as fancy as you lads with your burners and pro burners , myne was conjunction of many bmx's all thrown together . bits welded on here and there . thought i was the sh*t when i got a set of white mags for it . also remember the fat rich kid down the road with his "computer bike " as we used to call it (was a vektar) .
twas a different world back then

 

[Dagnut]

I had a white Styler with black mags...few Grifters knocking about on the road those things were indestructible! we used boot down the road, smash into the wall just kept going....one of the lads had a Mongoose..and another kid had Hutch pro i think it was called ...those were the bikes to have.. St Anne park in Raheny had some decent jumps...the Big Doubles were a challenge..ahhh the memories

 

[scoobycolm]

Once came off a bmx on a jump and tore my nut sack
Then on the way to hospital in the car I got wiplash
Arrived to the hospital and the doctor seemed a bit :hairdresser:
so i didnt tell him about my sack and got treated for my neck instead
everything still works anyway I have the kids to prove it

 

[JAMIE-TYPERV6]

Simpler times lads!! I used to live across the road from Marley Park and spent every weekend up on the track they had there!

Mate had a 82 Hutch Pro Racer... use to envy him something terrible! And a few had Mongoose's too! Savage bikes!

The most memorable Crimbo I had as a kid was when I woke and saw my chrome Styler in my room! I can still remember how it loooked and smelled when new!

@ Colm.. did the nutsake injury too!! Showing off on a steep hill in the snow! All working fine too

Those where the days

[DUFFMAN]

My weapon of choice was a mongoose, I had a few!

Finglas had a track too back then, but it got ruined by the junky bastards

 

[keith dublin]

Marley park was good
Semperit in ballier had a great track.
Some great tracks around now
Anyone up for a vets race ha ha

 

[tractorman]

I'd be up for that!
Used to have the white mag burner with
CW bars, apple 5 spokes and platform pedals.
