Stu Thomsen


When I was a kid, growing up in the 80s (Yeah, I am an old fogey BMX-wise) one of the heroes I literally worshipped was Stu Thomsen. Stu on his RedLine was unstoppable. I really wanted a RedLine PL-20 back then but they were kinda out of my range because they were pretty expensive. At the last gathering, there were quite a few folks out there with RedLines so I decided that I would love to get one again, just to relive my old-school longing. I already have a Kuwahara but a RedLine is what I would love. So be wary out there...this old man will be riding on a PL-20 soon when I can find one. The only problem is...what colour do I paint it? Some of us here have PL-20s painted in white, black and school-bus yellow. Hmmm...decisions decisions but I have to get that frame first!
