Cherry Pickers...
Back to bikes, more importantly BMX's. This was not only the start of another bike craze this was when, in my life and opinion, biking became crazy... if you don't believe me look at what they can do both then and now with a bike! I loved it, spurred on by many a good BMX bike chase scenes in a movie, or to take it a step further 'BMX Bandits' not a great film by comparison but definately ranked up there with greats such as ET and The Goonies in my childhood. Now I was fully into my BMX as it was one area i found i had some talent in, not only did my BMX become a second home, i raced them and learnt to pull off all manner of tricks on one, something I wouldnt dare to try nowadays! I haven't a clue where my trophies for racing them have got to nor infact all the gear and helmets I had... no doubt still with my childhood somewhere. But what memories I have of that age live strong inside me and as do some scarred shins on the outside...
