This TV ad for "Malvern Star" BMX appeared across Australia in 1981. Most of the Aussie crew have fond childhood memories of this classic ad. It must have launched about a million BMXers BITD. In 1981 fully 50% of all the bicycles sold in this country were BMXs.

I used to love seeing that ad. My friends and I would often sing the theme song as we were out riding. Good times.
