Still own a pink Bell Moto4 helmet w/real Troy Lee PAINTED on design AND have the fluorescent pink Oakley goggles w/that stupid *** snap in nose guard to match. NOT the mouth guard! Just the lil' piece that covers your nose! I still have an old JT lightweight motocross chest protector packed away w/these other listed items. The Oakleys have the old school "film" thing that reels a clear strip of film from one side of your goggles to the other. This dealy was supposed to be superior to tear-offs... BS! BTW I raced motocross, not BMX.

hahahahaha... might be old school if you remember tear-offs! (I "custom" trimmed mine so that each tear-off had a slightly shorter grab tab so you pulled off 1 @ a time. They were hard to separate if you didn't do this.)
If you remember what a "Leary" is, you might be old school
If you know what a cross up is
If you ever used wing nuts to attach your wheels to your bike.....
If you ever had to tear apart a Bendix Hub, or have ever even seen one....
If you ever owned a set of 7 1/2 " ashtabula's
If the metal on your messenger seats constantly broke through the rubber....how much did those seats cost? $5.00?
If you ever raced on a track surface that was called shell.....
If you ever started a race with a Rubber band.....you never wanted to be on the end....

you remember...
one handers, curb endos, baseball cards and close pins, roosting, powerslides, power wheelies, handlebar shims, waffle grips, bike racks on the FRONT of a van, dreams of being a factory rider, front brakes, bendix 2 speed, hitting your knees on handlebars, smoked bubble visors, "leathers", grease fittings on your bottom bracket, riding bent 1pc cranks all summer, lightning bolt decals, how cool your first set of tube forks was.......

...if you have (had) a frame with NO rear brake bridge.
quote:My 10 year old had a baseball game last night. We did baseball because we don't do drugs (That's for my friend Ken).
baseball cards and close pins
Anywho... A young kid rides up on a new Haro. He actually had "3" cards clothes pinned to the rear wheel. It was wonderfully annoying. I walked him to the snack shack and bought him a round.
That is a young man who appreciates the classics.

taking the seat and pedals off your big sisters Schwinn Varsity...
...if a 10 year old kid skids up along side you at the race track staring down at your bike and says...."Whoa, dude".....then looks up, and says "I mean, man...I mean, Sir...."...."where did you get those blue tires!?".
(true story, lol)
(true story, lol)
If every clothes pin in your house has a gate number scratched on it.
If you remember race jersies with logos that could clearly be read
... you ever raced with a Premier helmet
Banana seats covered in denim, Preston Petty fenders ( cut in half and mounted under the denim banana seat ). Mud guards on the downsweep tube.Plastic gastanks. O.J. wheels, oh yeah, that's skatebords.
And I have been snapped by a rubberband start from Bobby Clinton, Dave's brother.
....you thought that 9 tiny pins on the slick face of these freaky new Shimano DX pedals would be of any great help to the way you rode your bike.

if you thought hair spray really worked indoors,,,,,
Joffa faceguards then switched to Scott Fullface.
If you have ever done a Foot Plant...
Got a welt on your chest from a rubberband start.
Still dream about the manually dropped gate and the ping-pong ball you pulled out of the bucket for your gate.
You ask the lady at K-mart for a Huffy or Team Murray because your kid needs a bike.
Still draw Haro power slides on your pee-chees.
