Nice survivor.
Reece, parcel came today. Thanks mate. Appreciate it.
Just getting my stuff together for the trip to the Gold Coast. Should be awesome.
It has been very quiet on most forums of late.
After this weekend there will be a buzz around.

No worries Glenn.
I'm just stting around waiting for the cyclone to get here
Redline is coming along nicely.
Well I'll get in before anyone else does. Managed to crash into a stationary object whilst on the ride today. Did the little kid thing of looking behind and ran into Craig. In all fairness to him, he had pulled off to the side of the path although I was used to dodging idiot tourist who see a bunch of bikes coming and decide the best place to stop is the middle of the path... All in all a great day with a few good views and seeing people I hadn't seen for months or longer.
Geez its been quite around here.............
I hope that someone posts pics from BMXposed, I need to see a pic of Norms Red, White and Blue........
Have been waiting for ever and a day to receive these nos 7x's that came from Mexico, deadset its the longest i have waited for anything to be shipped to me, the Mexican Postal Service must be very laidback, they took delivery of them on the 21/12/2010 but they did not leave Mexico until 13/01/2011.....
They will be paired up with a set of bullseyes and will be going on one of the Pattersons...

It took me ages to hunt down a NOS set of gold 7x 24 x 1.75's about three years back. I ended finding some locally What colour hubs are you lacing into them? I have silver flange/blue centre Bullseyes, but I want to change them out to first gen GT hubs in chrome one day.

Big thanks to Craig, Helensvale BMX and everyone else who helped make today a great one. I certainly picked the correct week to come up to Queensland. Here's a few photos. Before anyone asks, no I don't have the contact details for the girl in the Unit poster. Craig might be able to help!
A few more.
The following has to be my favourite shot of the day. Matt's lineup of mid-school bikes was amazing. I learnt so much about the era just from looking at his, including Auburn, Kastan, Revtec, S&M, Supercross, Powerlite, GT, Crisp, Robinson and some I have probably missed.

EWhat a great day. I had a great time and thanks to Craig and the boys at Helensvalebmx. What a blast.
Flying trip home too. My quickest ever!

Nice gear guys!
So, this weekend I spent a couple of days on the west coast of Tassie doing the tourist thing - bushwalking, Macquarie Harbour and Gordon River cruise, convict ruins etc - and would you believe it I was on the same boat as the president of the Launceston BMX Club. Got to chatting about vintage BMX (he has a couple) and ended up I am heading up to Launceston in 4 weeks for their "Come and Try" day.
So it'll be my first race in 28 years or so. It's a great track that I have ridden on a couple of times but never raced on (this track came after my day).
I know there are a few here that have taken the plunge. Any tips guys???

At your second race meeting when they let everyone ride the track backwards, remember what is on the other side of the jumps otherwise you will find yourself sitting in the emergency room with a fractured clavical. Then when practising for your return five months later, don't get excited and let your ambition exceed your ability otherwise you'll find yourself in the doctor's surgery telling them you need an x-ray, painkillers, a referral to the same specialist you saw five months before for exactly the same injury.
Serious though, do take it easy. Whilst not everyone was as slow to learn as me, more than a few have done some damage thanks to their comeback.

wow kurt! very cool. get all the bike time you can between now and then even if it is not on a track. do sprints. and is your insurance all paid up
i hope those in the storm path stay safe.
have fun Kurt, Thats all you need to know. Wear good protective gear too.
Thanks for all the tips guys! I'll keep you posted - hopefully not from the emergency department! 
Thanks for the heads up Roberto
Good luck with the racing Kurt, my tip is just enjoy it and ease in gently.

Wow Glenn. Cool! Geometry looks pretty similar too. Did he say who is making it?
nice looking show at the Helensvale show. good luck Kurt with the racing.
hope everyone in the cyclones path will be ok.

hey kurt - remember that bike time prior to hitting the track is not so you can be fast but so you won't need oxygen when you cross the finish line. also, (and mind you i didn't have a problem with this on my first race) don't try to go too fast. i don't know how many out of control dads i saw bite it who were trying to prove they still had it. finishing the race with your seat back and folding tray in their full upright position is a win have a blast man!
have a blast man!
Hey Kurt - I wish our track was like that - they just keep getting "bigger" with pro sections and triples and stuff, that track is the sort of track I would feel more comfortable with.
Just remember to keep the black stuff facing the dirt and you'll be fine
On another note
Have any of youse ever seen one of these?
I'm guessing 84/85ish

Nope never seen one of those before Ben.
Kurt, the KOS is made by Mongoose so who knows. It does look cool though. I'd love the "oldschoolify" it!
Thats my new word too.

Yeah it looks really good to me too Ben. Unfortunately the club has just received a grant to redesign the straights and jumps and resurface the track with that fast hard smooth stuff ...

Beautiful Cook stem Christian. Wow - that's some exotica. The right stem is just the key to a build don't you think. Really don't see many of those pre-slantline babies.
Murano???
Murano???
I know, it weighs half a tonne but as soon as I saw it, I knew I had to have it. I love the stranger 70's stems at the moment. (not that I have that many) the Redline double clamp would still be one of my favourites.
yep, Murano and Rodd side board.

Bugger bum. That's bad. Must have bigtime withdrawals lol.
I never seem to manage to catch Mick on his mobile - no reception down in that little valley.
Have to give him a call on his home phone this weekend.
Thanks Ben.

Thanks Ben.
Hey guys......Im back
Had some things to deal with (few personal & non-personal issues) ....working thru them...but all good now.
As Ben said.....yes, my computer crashed ...and for those who know what that is like Im sure u will understand.
Luckily all my files (both business & VBMX) were eventually saved.......phew!!!
Sorry I missed the "Old Coast" event that Craig put on last weekend...looked like a good show.
Working on a few builds...might debut them at "Blast from the Past" in March (if they are ready) or at Roberto's this year.
Kurt - look forward to the call mate
Christian - Congrats on the 10 hole G-Boy! Awesome frame
