1983 Powerlite
1983 Powerlite
Firstpitch in 1983 at the Bensalem Raceway in Bensalem PA. This pic was taken before my bike hit its final form, before a wicked cool Araya Aero wheelset...nice nikes eh?
Second shot was November 1983 at our own track at an industrial park in Ivyland Pennsylvania about 1 mile from my house. We dug our berms, whoops, quarter pipes, big jumps...sweet. People came from Jersey to ride it, both BMX and Motocross. Here I am grabbing some air. Nothing too fancy for me back then, just going fast. We used words like RAD.
Rode my bike during college...sold it in 1991 for $125.00 to a neighbor's kid Tom back in Ivyland, PA. How's that for a regret!

Re: 1983 Powerlite
Ah the 80's. Now a days all kids have to wear a helmet, back then it was how many of your friends could you jump over...10..11..12. Being the 12th guy in the line was a real treat. Broke many forks and stems off big jumps in the street in front of my house...and yes, no helmet. Where the hell were my parents???
