@MP12965 I know I wouldn't do some of the things I used to do from 13-18 yrs old on bicycles now. I am only 36 but I have scars and even a chipped tooth from jus' not bein' smart enough at the time to think about using the open end of a 15mm on an old Huffy racing bmx while tightening the rear wheel. The stunt stuff could have paralyzed me for life; jumping '76 ford ltds, ditch launches & other show off fun

Seemed like a good idea at the time;)
 
Hahaha & it was an adrenaline rush am I right? Good ol'days and fearlessness of bein' a teenager. Now I wonder how I get cut & how long it's going to take to heal. Not to mention seeing so many skateboard & bike fails via tv/youtube jus' equals Ouch!
That bike is still part of the collection, to this very day ( with a restoration ). I don't do trick riding anymore.

Since your thread seems officially hijacked....I stumbled upon this earlier.
This lady could give some of the freestyle BMXers at California Piers a run for their money and drop some serious jaws.
I think she was doing this in the early 80s.
