Johnny is selling a Browning 2 speed. I know Ron House used a Rubber Band wind-up to improve gate starts. Ame made Satin Jackets. What else is out there. Please show if you have pics.

Just before I found this web site I threw out a hugh western style belt buckle with the ECHO helmet logo on it.

Pro-Guard. Split wire loom sold to cover your chain & keep the dirt out. Never stayed on.

How about all those "Freestyle" bikes with like, 60 degree head tubes?

I did a race at Corona and after the races did Half Pipe Shows for the Vans Owners Curch Carnival for a weekend. Did a Air and passed out in the ramp from the Heat. I flipped out of the top.

After that Veras made me a version that just covered my arms and shoulders.

I remember House's rubberband. He was practicing on that thing at a NBL Florida winter race
in 81 or 82.

Can you explain House's rubber band thing? I'm having a hard time conceptualizing it...

Gators... haha I had those, in fact I loved em. Oh boy slip of taste there. Max also had Uni seat covers. Uni also had side plates. RL and Buff covered their bars with the handlebar foam from cheap 10 speeds for a brief period, but not sure if there was a BMX specific product sold. There was a ton of bolt on junk when freestyle first became big. There were snap on dust covers for brake levers. There were a set of handlebars with a bolt on plastic crossbar (and BMXA gave them a fluffy review)
