You can see the wheel flexing. Such a legit old-school shot. This must be after they put E.T. back on his spaceship.

How the hell does he get back on?

I dunno about you but it just looks like he's humping his back tire

I agree POD, too bad that now PODS must fit a extremely high "Photographic Quality" value. I think we should have a blast from the past or just a good laugh now and then.

POD because helmets weren't cool and it was legal to not wear one! Also they were tougher back then...walking up hill to school both ways...poor bastards!

Actually it was because we didn't have the OPTION of helmets back then! We had the now-old school open face moto helmets, or the HUGE football looking bicycle helmets. That was it. And probs brother, I had the pink Skyway StreetBeat with Tuffs! Fuckin LOVED that bike!

The kid in the background looks like a young Sam Blenkinsop.

is that just a really cheap fork and rim, or is it an optical illusion?

norco42084 (Sep 30, 2011 at 0:45)
