[megarawdeal]

94 Mongoose Villain... not a bad beginners bike other than the fact that the brakes were worthless.

I finallllly found it. Had to just go alphabetically through the museum until I saw a brand that sounded familiar:

Basically, it was terrible but that was the same colour and everything as my first "real" bike. I'd had a cobbled together BMX or two before that one but they were no-name, spraypainted frames with sketchy parts. Then, after the mighty Schwinn, I finally got some real real bikes- a couple of Trickstars and eventually I settled on a string of GT Pro Performers.

Wow that was the first BMX i ever got too! i got mine for 50 bucks in 96 from my bros best friend

Here's my Jetta BreakDancer and I'm holding the 1986 August Issue of Freestylin' Magazine. Which taught me the backwards infinity roll.

I just got the bike from the bike shop and the reflectors and tags are still on it. No pegs at this moment.. I think I needed to save a little more money or I needed to install them.

Check out those shorts LOL! and I'm wearing my soccer turf shoes? Oh well I was a legit baller.  That was in Maine and it was all dirt everywhere so I would session in the garage or ride to some tennis courts at the high school.

Mine was a Halfords Turbo, I bought it in '83.

I don't have to thank my folks, they told me that at 13 years old I was too old to ride 'a kid's bike'... So I cleaned windows, cleaned cars, mowed lawns, had two paper rounds... Took me 6 months to save for that sucka.

Now I'm 39 and get paid to ride kid's bikes. That's a real kick in the teeth for my folks

I rode a 06 Next bike from Wal-E-World, and a DK eight pack when I first started riding flatland, and I rode street for six years on an old Diamond back my dad gave me when I was like 10.

  the one that will forever hold my heart!I learned so many tricks on it and it was fully tricked out... I would later sell it.

My first bike was an 86' Panasonic racing bike. Still have the frame, but my brother cobbed a bunch of parts off of it . I was planning on restoring it, but I don't have the parts to do it.

My first bike was a 04 hoffman condor. Still riding the frame and cranks but thats it!!

A friend of mine had this Purple Torker twin top tube frame w/a standing platform that looked like a grinder.The frame was mad long too.But the rarest frame i ever seen was a MCS that had double chainstay tubes and the top n bottom tube made this connection like a Hutch trick star.Weird and it was chrome.

2003 haro f3 for me

2007 (year old model at the time) haro f2! haha piece of JUNK. i took the seat off and masking-taped a block of foam over the seat tube so i can do street stuff minus the 2+lb. seat/seatpost and NOT get r*ped in the *ss by the tubing...took the pegs off and even with the front brake gone it's still like 28 lbs.

my first flatland specific bike is a mix of parts from FF and from misterwhite. grand total of about $710 including tax and shipping and everything. i think around $50 more than an a-damn lt...

[scapegoat]

hush -i am riding my first bike still too -although almost all the parts have been switched out over the years -mine is a dyno 89 pro compe

MCS Styler.  Rare...because it was a POS.  I knew someone who had one...and it was just put together and rode aweful.  Never mind looking horrible. 

[smiley (Roy)]

even worse is I used to ride with a guy who was on the MCS Freestyle team... He had to ride the styler...
