I used my Torker in 79 and early 80 so I'm not sure when this photo is taken. I know it was winter cause of the jacket and remember snow on the ground so its probably early 80 like Jan or Feb.
Me, Winter of 79/80, Washington Crossing PA

Note the jump was made out of a tree stump we placed at the bottom of the driveway. I forget name of the kid whose house this was taken at, he was our paper boy, rode, but didnt race. He did make a race stem in metal shop. The jump was made from turning two pallets upside down. 1 for the transition and one for the lip. The landing was flat ground but it was slightly sloped.

Man original Oakley goggles. Gold spokes with blue rims and hubs. I got the idea for the build from the Everything Bicycles advertisement. I got the Torker from Wheels-n-Things. Vinyl Pads, front brakes, Vbars. Man those where the days! Eat, sleep and breathe BMX.





Yes the one footer was planned and not me circling the drain. Hey I was doing my best Timmy Judge.

You ROCK

Man that is so cool. BMX at it's roots.

I bet you used that ramp with a brick, then a tire, next some cinderblocks..

That stump is up there!

Yeah, looks like some rough landings.. Just the way it should be..

Tried to add a picture but it didn't work.
