I rode a Scorcher as a kid.. my friends would actually marvel at my ability to survive wicked stunts/wrecks unscathed .. scary stuff when I think back to those days.

This is no joke though.. my best friend to this day almost died when he was 6 when he crashed head first trying a homemade ramp jump... I remember my older brother telling me that the doctors told his parents that he had so much swelling that the prognosis was not good. He made a full recover and might be the biggest risk taker I've ever known..

Greetings from one Australian to another, oneyedwilly! [Smile]

I was impressed with the video that I viewed! I reckoned that it was very crash hot!

I had a raleigh back in 1983 - a black one. My best friend at the time had a Pirahna with heavy duty spokes. Most sort after around where i lived was a fox or a mongoose.

Also one of my other mates used to race for Redline bmx which meant all his bike gear was free.Nothing makes you more jealous as a kid than to have a friend with all the best gear,only to know he was getting for free.

Very good introduction. Thanks for putting up the link, oneyedwilly.
