I remember how painful it was when you ran your balls into the gear leaver on the Chopper.

Still got the BMX in my mum's shed. Hard to say how many incredible hours I might have spent on that bike. So much fun!!

I had a BMX Batavus freestyle. Double flat cross bar!

I was so chuffed when i got it. £120 if i recall, my Grandad had been saving 1p and 2ps since we were born to give to us on our 18th.

I pestered so much to get £100 of it beforehand to buy this bike!

Great memories.
