Quote HistoryQuoted: When I was a kid we took all of my Joe’s behind the house into the woods and destroyed them. Now as an adult I wish I still had them.

So I called my mom and said I was coming out to get my Star Wars toys and she got real quiet, and I said Mom what's going on and she said I gave those away when you went to college years ago. It took me about six months to talk to my mom again I had intended for that to be given to my kids. Now I look at the stuff on eBay that I had and realize that I could have damn near paid for two years of college for my daughter by selling the stuff I had. Thanks Mom |

The first "decent" bicycle I owned. I bought this at Otasco Hardware store with a little help from my old man (I'd saved up $100, but didn't account for tax).
The Huffy Sigma. So badass with the wheel discs.  Then two of my friends got GT bikes, I remember one was a GT performer. My parents splurged and got me a Dyno VFR for my birthday (big deal for them and me since they were very frugal).  There's no telling how many miles I logged on these two bikes.

Checking in. Born in '81, Class of '98.
The difference between us (last of Gen X) and Millenials is we are old enough (even if only by a few years) to know how fucking bad of an idea it was to bring back 80's mom jeans (and other hideous high-waisted nonsense), bangs (which never looked good, ever), and shitty keyboard/synth-heavy music with droning, androgynous vocals. We also have seen Reality Bites, and knew Tim Armstrong when he had a mohawk. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Those are some sweet bikes. When I was in that phase, if a kid rode up on anything made by Redline, like a ProLine or 600a, he immediately established dominance and was crowned king. Those were serious racing bikes. Then later on came Diamondback, Haro, Mongoose and other freestyle bikes.https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/259519/CE403C58-29DB-45C5-AEE2-ECBEEA1242CF_jpe-2330550.JPG https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/259519/39572BF4-3828-4364-98E3-1DEA510F3647_jpe-2330551.JPG Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: The first "decent" bicycle I owned. I bought this at Otasco Hardware store with a little help from my old man (I'd saved up $100, but didn't account for tax). The Huffy Sigma. So badass with the wheel discs. https://bmxmuseum.com/image/sigfix5d0a5b6ebb409_lg.jpg Then two of my friends got GT bikes, I remember one was a GT performer. My parents splurged and got me a Dyno VFR for my birthday (big deal for them and me since they were very frugal). https://thumbor.offerup.com/5Y-fyDAD43lTOlPTgrs5xZi2ylY=/1920x1440/caa5/caa55dd8774e4c5da51c1c356003ee58.jpg There's no telling how many miles I logged on these two bikes. Back then I was supposed to be outdoors all day until the streetlights came on, that's just the way it was. Those are some sweet bikes. When I was in that phase, if a kid rode up on anything made by Redline, like a ProLine or 600a, he immediately established dominance and was crowned king. Those were serious racing bikes.

No doubt. I had a buddy from day care who had the first and only Kuwahara BMX bike I'd ever seen. Others were kings, he was the God Emperor. Same buddy also had a Powell-Peralta Tony Hawk skateboard. Basically, he owned everyone. Crazy thing was/is, he wasn't a spoiled kid and he's grown up to be a down to earth guy. I see him maybe twice a year; we still talk bikes and skateboards like we were 10 years old.

What a great time to have been born. I feel lucky that God chose this time for me.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Did anyone else have the Sea Wolf sub as a kid? I remember taking that thing with me in the tub. https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/88366/1975-vintage-gi-joe-sea-wolf_1_5d826af97-2330558.jpg Mine is still in my parent's attic along with most of the other stuff too including the jeep and trailer, ATV, tower, helicopter, etc. I haven't seen any of it in years and the SC heat has probably ruined all of it. My cousin recently sold his Haro Master (green, can't recall the exact model) for $2000- with a broken crank. |
