Small Wins: 1993 – 1st MX Bike

I spent a lot of time dreaming of having a motocross bike growing up, it all started when I rode Nic’s Yamaha 50cc straight into a wall WFO. When got a little older he got a 1989? CR80 which we used rip around Oxford Striders back in the day. The neighbors used to get so pissed due to the noise.

My parents dangled a carrot in front of due to bad grades in Std 5 and pulling through, I got a 1986 CR125. Man I was pumped. Fun bike, basically a rocket ship compared to the 80cc. It came with a slide block in the carb (a small sleeve attached around the throttle cable) because my dad was afraid it would be too fast. I quickly figured out how to remove it 🙂 read more

List: Skateboard Ramps

Aside from all the boxes, ledges and smaller quarter pipes, building ramps with neighbors and friends was a great way to grow up …

YearRampNotes
~ 19916 Foot Half Pipe with 7 Ft Extension, 8 ft wideWas a little too steep and had a bit too much vert for a mini ramp. We got 3-ply plywood from the East London Harbor, 6ft x 8ft sheets.
~ 19914 Foot Quarter Pipe, 8ft wide
~ 19923 Foot Half Pipe (8ft) into a 3 Foot Spine (5ft), with a roll past option
