That's awesome thst you were at the forefront of the sport! This all really taking me back to a fun, carefree time.Just a local Bicycle shop started a racing team. There were a bunch of us guys that road BMX bikes. We were a tight group that road and hung out together. BMX was just getting popular in norcal in 76-77 and this bike shop wanted to start a racing team. All us guys got on the team. You know who Bob Haro is right he was part of our group that got picked to be on the race team. Bob later got hired with BMXA as cartoon artist. He eventually moved down south to be closer the magazine you know his history...
Was it locked up?I had a Pro Performer, until it was stolen at the mall.
Yea, not well enough though. So young and naive. My friend and I used a small chain. We come out of the mall find the chain cut and just my bike stolen. We go back into the mall to file a report (friend and I were using the same chain) come out and HIS bike is gone*smh* he had a Performer also. We were around 12/13. A good day for someone. That bike was one of the most expensive gifts I ever got... Actually the Dyno I got a few years later may have been more money, but I saved and paid a lot of it..Was it locked up?
I grew up with very little money. We were an immigrant family with 7 kids. I was lucky enough to score a used, loaded ProPerformer from a buddy for $150.....a bargain for this bike at that time. I couldn't be happier.........but my dream bike, at that time, was a Haro Master
