I had a 1987 GT Performer in white with pink grip tape.  Later on, I inherited my brother's Hutch Windstyler.  That bike was a piece of crap, it had fork pegs welded on, yet I still did hang 5's and double whiplashes on it

I had a CW California Flyer, it was a cheap bike made out of cheap steel, but it had big, comfortable back pegs that were waaaaay ahead of their time.  Was a pretty nice looking ride, too.

well if I don't count my sisters Huffy Prairie Cruiser with banana seat that I got as a hand-me-down as my first bike (which I later spray painted black), then I had a Huffy Chrome K-Mart Special. My first real freestyle bike was a Jetta Breakdancer. And it actually came with skyway 6-spoke mags, rotor, frame with built in framestander, double crossbar handle bars and build in theads in the fork for high or low mount fork stands. It was bright green including green tires.

I had that for 4 years and by the time I was done with it the only thing stock was the frame/fork.

My first bike was a diamondback joker. Thing weighed like 40 lbs. But, it had front and back brakes as well as a gyro so it worked for a while.

I remember the Diamondback freestyle bikes being the heaviest I'd ever encountered at the time. This was before the '90s bloat bikes obviously.
It truly is a romance of many dimensions, isn't it?

Team Murray Thunder-something or other (I think?) back in '82 ish that I inherited from my sister... followed by a San Jose flea market special Mongoose Californian knock off bike.
