I'm the first one to brag about all my old bikes being "riders", but riding around the block and blasting over a big box jump are two very different activities! Kelly Baker, back to the future in Newark Valley, New York, 10/06.

Cool,
I don't even remember what I did with my PR200.This is the way to see them-flying thru the air or blasting down the first straightaway.

Scott thanks. Reiley, sure you could have done that BITD. We didn't have box jumps back then to do it, or in my case homes and yards to do it in. My step dad would have never let us build something like that in our yard. He would have used the lumber to build something usefull, like a shed to keep the garbage cans in so the dogs wouldn't get into them.
While I'm at it I want to tell ya Reiley that I think you have the dopest 70's bikes on this site and your the best smart *** VBMX has in my opinion.
That pics intention was to show off the bike not the rider. I love that bike. It sits right in front of mt dresser and I touch it every morning getting my clothes. My only bike that is kept inside. It is the same as the one I had in 84.

Man, that's it—I'm building up some sort of '80s rider for the winter. Or at least taking out the DBI T/A again.

Sweet! That pic almost inspired me to do it too. Key word is "almost" as there's probably a 99.99 percent chance I'd end up banged up, squirming around in the fetal position with my wife standing there laughing at me. More power to you if you can still do it! I'm trully jealous.

I would much rather see an oldschool bike in use than on display any day!

I must say that the picture probably inspired me on my morning ride that I rambled about in a seperate post.

This can always be said, opening any topic that Scott puts up will rule. Old, new, whatever, they always do.

Not to be barging in on Scott and Kelly. I respect those guys too much. I just wanted to show Kelly that he isn't the only one flying vintage chromoly. This was my dream bike when I was a kid.

How do you dive the front end? Just grab a little rear brake? I've never gotten comfortable with the nose dive.

You just tuck it up until the back tire hits your butt.
