I've had a diamond back, not sure which one, Harrow Shedder, Harrow Master, full custom "Zimma" known as unbreakable frames and weigh nearly 4 stone and I actually still have a bmx now that I do actually ride along the sea front in the summer, and that's a GT Vertigo.
Well I bought a Chrome Haro Master with allsorts of trick bits white Skyways, Tioga Task force crank, Gt spinner headset MX brakes, cant remember the rest due to old age bought it off a mate way back in 1988 for £40 and thought I did well selling it on for £80.When I got a Yamaha DT50 from my 16th birthday many moons ago.. gutted years later that I didn't tuck it away as the bike looked the dogs...

Remember having a Raleigh burner when I was a kid,it also had pencil pegs on the back lol.also had a mongoose villian that had about every upgrade you could get,chain tugs,odyssey giro,tech 77 brake levers,sky way 3 spoke mags etc.
Also remember a lad at school that had a no fear bmx wiv a funky style frame

Hoffman taj

Cool - thought it was just me having a mid life crisis (I'm only 35 but had a hard life!)
Currently riding this
Far from old school but I love it! Is a diamondback alt2012 - bought it when I sold my R26 meg as was feeling sorry for myself - admittedly £750 (including mods) is possibly a bit steep for a BMX but its wicked! It's so light it's nuts! Just need to develop some bigger balls now like I had 20 years ago and ill be laughing!
Oh and mine has an old mans seat now! Got to sit down occasionally!
Owned, 1983 pihanna.
Wish I still had it now.....
R-burner...
Not a bmx but also had a kirk revolution, that was a weird looking bike..
I've still got my S&M Sabath in the loft, Sun Rhino Rimms, G-Sport Hubs, cost me nearly £1000.00 back in 1996!
Its amazing now that even a make like diamond back now sell a complete with hidden headset, 25-9, 3pc crank etc... when a few years ago if you wanted a decent set up you had to build your own.
First bmx was an old villan where the seat stays came past the seat tube then into the top tube loved it snapped it welded it snapped it again
Then a thrillseeker that also snapped, then a fly pantera frame that survived now owned by a mate and my current daily is a felt sherif frame
Not a bmx but does anyone remember the grifter? And for a bonus point can you tell me the name of its baby brother??
Yeah remember those... Was it a burner the smaller one?
Raleigh grifter and striker.
Did not have that many bmx's mainly mtb's but had a few burners in my younger days, and 9-10 years ago had an eastern Jane.
I only have an old GT RTS3 mtb now, had it or years......good bike that.
See what you mean now.... looks like the best of both bikes.
Started riding in the late 90's so doubt you can class that as old school!

Fit TRL 3, bought this 3 yrs ago thinking I would get back into BMX but cars have taken over unfortunately!

Not so old-school yet, but the kids these days hink they're old...
Hoffman Butcher ECD Edition
Dragonfly frame that I can't remember what it's called. Won it at a jam years ago.
8 years later I'm riding again got a new fandangled light Eastern with a low seat and stuff. Haha.
I used to have loads of the old skool bmx's when i was a kid.
A few from memory were - pk ripper, loads of gt's, few haro masters. About 15 year ago i give a mint haro master away, had skyway mags with hub brake, originsl graphics, all the period bits - shimano dx pedals etc. Wish i had stuck it in the loft!
