Old Skool Pics/Oldest Bike Photo of YOU! (Let's see 'em) (Merged threads)

My cousin Left my Sister and me. Easter 1977

 

Just try and guess. It's 1977 in O'neal Park and that's my 1975 KZ 900.

 

My mother found this a couple weeks ago while looking through some old family albums: a photo of my hero (my grandfather) building my first tricycle.

 

My 15 minutes of fame. I worked it...the cool part was that a similar photo from this shoot wound up in details magazine. I didn't know it, but then my friend Donna called me and told me...I felt like a hero at my 10 year high school reunion later that month.

Salsa MBA test bike with Bontrager fork. I punished that bike!

and a motocross photo (Washougal). It's oldschool because I'm retired now.

 

rad old pics

I really enjoyed all the old school pics. Rigid forks, butterscotch tires, and long hair faded pics from the "olden" days.

Got any thai stick or acapulco gold...man?:lol:

Oh yeah look at the real life Hyde in the red button up and the green hot box van far left. classic.

 

Bump....

Hippie pics.... Vintage hiking pics... Youth baseball pics... Birthday pics... Surf pics..

This thread is dead unless YOU start posting! :wave:

 

1981 & 83 (not in that order)

 

Oh my. I think I won't admit to how long I drooled over pictures of you riding that bike. In fact, of the six or seven MBA's I've kept from over the years, that issue is one of them.

Eventually, I did put together an identical bike.

 

Dude, CPAT. Your a ROCK STAR!!:bang:

 

Way old school. :lol:

 

My Finest Hour.

20 years ago I was kickin it with a boy band called Finest Hour. Can anyone guess which member I was? You can also check out the video on youtube

AWESOME video VonVon...

You gatta' teach US (i.e. Andy, Gene, Timmy and myself) those dance moves!
We'll pay you in bike parts....
No joke!

P.S.- Are you the guy with the curl (top right)? :bang:

 

I use to teach Hip Hop and Break Dancing back in the day so that would be cool

What makes you think i'm the one with the curl?

Before I reveal the answer I want to see if anyone else tries a guess :lol:

 

Pat- that's pretty awesome!! It looks like part of the crew from "That 70's Show"!! :lol:

I'd bet we past right by each other a few times at O'Neil back in the day....I used to hang-out there with my older brothers, when we'd cruise up to ride motorcross at Racing Country, which is now Dove Canyon & Coto De Caza.

:beer:

 

I don't want to sound old, but wasn't it "Escape Country"? :-k

 

Sorry Jeff, but if you remember it....you're old!! :lol:

Actually, thanks for the correction....it was Escape Country, but then they changed the name to Racing World not long before they closed down. I guess my age is showing, by not remembering the names correctly??!! #-o

Good times racing back in the day!! :beer:

 

I miss Escape country! By the way, I'm ther one leaning on the wall in the red shirt. :beer:

 

My very first motocross race was at Escape Country. I remember going to the line feeling guilty for signing up in the beginner class... but guilt evolved into complete disappointment. I got spanked.

Ummm... I'm sure that it was the bike and not me8-[

I remember the photo shoot well. John Kerr had me do at least 20 runs off that little drop. I think that there are wooden stairs there now. The bars started bending after about the first 4 or 5 runs. We did the photos in Santiago Oaks Park. The cool part is that the magazine came out just before my 10 year high school reunion.

 

Is that an old surf buddy Danny Cleary on the far right?

 

It was a long time ago but I think it's Dennis Lee.
