Here are a few pics from Saturday's show held in Auckland City, New Zealand.

This was no Rockfrod but we had a good turn out with around 30 bikes.

The show was held at the MN8 Art Gallery and was sponsored by Tiger Beer. Red Bull also came to the party.

Thanks to Justin (tumeke) for doing all the hard work and getting the show doen.

I took a few crappy pics (too many Tiger beers!).
There will be bunch of professional pics posted at some point.

A note:

Oldest bike was the Stingray - circa 1970.
Newest was the Mongoose retro re-issue (2005).

There are a few NZ-made bikes so ask questions if you are wondering what the hell they are.

yum, yum, yum..............very nice, Andy!

Wow!! That event looked like a lot of fun!! Good beer with nice bikes and cool people. Wish we had these kind of things happening over here in Japan. Thanks for posting all those pictures. It took a while to download on my slow connection but was way worth it. Cheers

Nice one Andy - good turnout of bikes.

What was that matt black looptail?

Cheers Kurt

WOW.. love those Kosy's.. very nice redbull girlies too Choice Bro!!

Great job on the show . Love all those bikes . BMXA pad takes a bloke back and the survivors are treasures .

Kurt - I think you are talking about the Titan?
It's a late 80s US-made bike and has a really cool 'hammerlite' paint job which is similar to the Hutch 'futuristic black'.

Great pics Andy! I like the red GHP the best

I ended up taking 7 bikes.
Steve88 had 4.
Dbro had 4 also.

We need something like this in Portland...an art gallery on first thursday would be cool.

WOW! That looked like a great time. I like the setting. After all these bikes can be (and should be) looked at as art. And good shows always start out small. The main thing is that, it was fun! I think it would be cool to do a show like that here in Cali. Anybody else?

Thanks for posting those pics up Andy, they look great. And cheers for all the positive feedback. I'll get some more pics posted up soon. Right now I'm writing something about it for the Aussie BMX mag 2020, so keep an eye out for that. In fact, if you wouldn't mind, could I qoute you there sodbuster?

Your stuff certainly rivals anything we have on the big Island. Load it all up and bring it to Rockford

I think that is the sweetest patterson Ive seen on here.

Whoa. Some crazy weather munted our wireless internet connection. Will post a sequel to this thread tonight.

Now that's a beautiful line-up! Quality over quantity... I like the survivors the best.. who's Redline is that with almost completely stock parts? The 2-4 and Kos are near stock too... awesome!

Supercool setting too... eurostyle art gallery...

I was just in Christchurch and Sydney last week... if I had known about this I should have stopped by (and brought a bike or two along for the plane ride.. haha)...
