This thread is fuking RAD, especially this picture.  

Really cool pics  Tricka.  Seem to be about the same age and I would have killed to have had the dirt bikes you did. Parents weren’t about it so all I had was bmx back then.

Thanks. Yeah, because I was a Moto kid , my dad wouldn't let me rip the skateboard bowl without a lid . I was the only  on a BMX or a skateboard that wore a helmet. That was the rules other than that one here where I must've ripped it off when dad  wasn't around lol. This is a cook brothers. I also had a PK mini Ripper, a Vector and a factory Kuhahara. The Vector was next level technology, but it was too stiff. It didn't flex enough to get the snap I needed out of the transitions in the skateboard bowl. I wish I had photos of it. It was a long downhill snake bowl where you could catch mega air over the transition humps, and then rip big air out of the bowl at the bottom. It was a great spot.

For a pic from 1974 the resolution is pretty incredible. Do you recall the camera brand?

It was dad's he bought in the early 60s. He gave it to me and I used it until about 1980. Then I bought a modern SLR that I could change lenses.

It was a Argus with a fixed 50mm lens. You had to get pretty close (like 15 - 20 feet) to get any good close up shots. My dad took all the ones of me from the late 60s to 1976 with it. I still have the camera. He is a pic.

I don't know guys. I was sponsored by Carrera in 1983. They even paid contingency money at the nationals. But the tracks pretty much were always dusty back then and the open bottoms on those goggles weren't great in my opinion.

That is so incredible that you still have it! Thank you for sharing that. Again, that resolution was pretty fantastic. That’s a great pic of you.
