I have been getting lots of email recently, many of them from old-schoolers who used to ride BMX back in the day. It must be BMX entering the Olympics and the looming Youth Olympic Games.
Hi stumbled on your website, wonder whether you can advice on what BMX bike to get that resembles what we rode on in the 80s. I rode a kuwahara Z1 and a redline600, hope i still remember the models. rode some races too with sky boys / scarecrow, though i was really young at the time.
also how do i know when there is action on the singapore bmx track and scene, which is at Tampines i am told. any news info on kids bmx lessons, races etc?
thanks for any advice
Thanks for that email. Well, the team that took over the BMX duties in Singapore (not us - we have been there and done that already) have organised some clinics for BMX but not that many nowadays. I will put up some info when I get it.
As for bikes looking like the Kuwahara's back in the day, well, SE Racing do make some bikes but whether or not they resemble bikes back in the day, I have got to level with you. I do not think we are the same size as we used to be way back when. My Kuwahara Survivor is too small for me...that is why I ride a 24" cruiser. But sometimes some companies, bike companies that is, make limited runs of old-frames. Skyway is one of them. They found some old un-welded tubes in storage and welded them up to be frames again. They were selling for a pretty penny but they were nice looking frames!
For anything else, keep your eyes peeled on our forums or scope Ebay!
