1979 Kent - BMXmuseum.com

I got this Kent BMX Banana Seater for Christmas 1979. It was not only my first BMX bike, but I'm pretty sure it was my first bike with inflatable tires as I remember my previous bike having solid, hard rubber tires.  I remember getting yelled at about 20 minutes after this picture was taken by my dad for trying to ride between my dad and my neighbor who were talking in the street. It was too tight a squeeze and I sent them reeling back to avoid getting smashed into.  Good times. That's my little bro (Stymie on here) with his Spider-Man remote control car.  He's a couple of years away from getting the BMX bug still...then one day my Dad brings him a Huffy Rawhide from the grocery store and the rest is history. :)  That's right, he got his bike from the grocery store, but it served him well.  I'm not sure what happened to this Kent, but it provided some great memories for me.
