I've got back into BMX after 25 years, but in a different way. I'm restoring old-school BMX bikes from the 80's. This might bring back memories for some you guys that rode BMX back in the day. This is a 1982 redline, fully restored back to how it came out in the shops. I've also got an HMX 500 that is going to be my next restore.

Ok, this is a pretty amazing vid. Its not strictly BMX, more like urban mountain bike/bmx hybrid.

MacAskill is amazing. I have 5 BMX bikes in the house at the moment, picked up an as-new Haro cruiser just before nationals for $450, and have now built up an Intense Podium cruiser for my son (probably cost about $1500 to build), however he bailed just before the worlds and snapped his collar bone, so it's sittingn unridden in the garage. Got another couple of Haro 20" bikes and frames, but his old Haro Cruiser that he rode at Nats has a cracked frame (only found it on pulling it apart for bits on the Intense.....

I've been tossing up getting back into it - was NZ2 for a couple of years, but I'm not yet convinced I could put 100% into it.
