Yep .. the evolution of BMX We were somewhere between Roger Decoster and Evel Knievel ... Man I feel old !Oh man I wish I had pics of my first jumper. It was 1976 and a local bike shop in Dallas cobbled together a "bmx" bike for my 8th birthday using a black Stingray frame and Ashtabula parts. It had those clear Hex grips that were slicker than Owl poop on an axe handle when they got wet and the rear wheel was a single silver Motomag. Memories.
