Well now that the seasons over.....

[JustAsking]

Can not find a picture of it... but I had the Schwinn Predator Rock-n-Roll Purple... roller seat, white mags, front flip up pegs, and back pegs... I forget the rotor... still have it in my folks' basement.

Also skated with a Vision skateboard... Johnny Cop (sp? as I can not find one online)... didn't skate much, so it's in mint condition.. slimeball wheels.. I forget the trucks...

Sadly, no. Sold off many, many years ago.

Matty - The nut pad IS hilarious. Those foam tubes with the velcro wraparound - I remember those well.

i dont think they EVER really helped much. lol those bring back some cool memories

Fully in support of this position:

Somebody knows his movie quotes.

This brough back a bunch of memories. I remember I had a Santa Cruz Rob Roskopp "Ugly Face" skateboard with Independent trucks and Christinan Hasoi wheels. I wouldn't have remembered any of that without the prompt above and had no idea that was hidden in my memory banks. Probably because I saved up FOREVER to buy it as a kid. What a waste of perfectly good memory in my brain.

What are you doing this summer > Bike purchasing advice > Nostalgia over extreme sports equipment from youth

When I was about 14 I had one of those banana bic's with an extended back bar a speedometer. headlight and even turning lights ! I had all the toys that were available at that time even if they were useless. But I did ride everywhere and put a lot of miles on that thing then my racer.

Dash, That pic does look like one I had but mine had training wheels.

Is that a motorized bike, or just made to look like one?

I never had a dirt bike or an 3-/4-wheeler growing up. Always thought they were super cool.

 

[jstewismybastardson]

Lol at the plastic gas tank

I destroyed that on a friends bike after i crashed on a jump at our elemntary school in 6th grade

He was so pissed because he only got the bike a week before for his birthday

I just kept telling him it looked cooler without the tank lol

haha they had the shocks but they were never really quality one big jump and you had either the broken tank or uneven shocks. and those bikes were heavier than Jay Feaster at a all you can eat buffet line

Lol the shocks had no spring whatsoever. They were coiled solid steel

my brother and I had the big black bike with the double Zero on the side. the shocks were real but they were shite. that bike had to weigh in about 30 pounds lol. we used to but it up on blocks and pretend we were a pit crew

Hey now, that's out of line...Everyone should know by now that Robert Lang and buffet is the correct phrase.

I totally remember that ... My friends hada double zero placard on the front below the handlebars

Iirc ... There was a warning engraved on the bike that it wasnt supposedto be used for jumps lol
