hahaha I remember I got my first BMX around 92 or 93 because I have a picture with it with my name and 8 years old written on the back.
It was a BH California, in blue. It lasted for many years, until I was 14 or 15 or so, mainly because during the summer break when I had the most time to cycle around, I was shipped to my dad's home village 500 miles away and I couldn't take it with me, so literally, I could only use it on Sundays after church or, when I was a little older in like 97 / 98 and started going to the slopes on Fridays. A sort of gravel circuit shared by all sorts of vehicles lol.
It was not all bad, down at my dad's village we had a couple of chopper style bikes that we would share amongst the three cousins but one of them didn't like cycling much and preferred his skateboard,
It was a red G.A.C Motoretta that looked exactly like this, and tbh I liked it much more than my BMX haha

Chrome gets ya home. That thing is sick. Did you skid the rear tyre until it went bald and popped ?

She had hair like Jeannie Shrimpton back in 1965
She had legs that never ended
I was halfway paralyzed
She was tall and cool and pretty and she dressed as black as coal
If she asked me to I'd murder, I would gladly lose my soul

Would have been my 5th. Outgrew my first one that started with training wheels, though those lasted all of half a day on it, haha.

Those socks are something that just never made it to the UK but seem to be really prevalent in the US in that era!
Where did that come from, basketball or something?
