I gave a friend of mine a poweflow backbox that i had no need for and he didnt have the money to pay for it so he gave me his bmx its a huffy M80 corey nastazio signiture model , im not too big into bmx's but i thought if i cleaned it up a bit it would be good to chuck in the boot and bring to the png show in portrush to cruise about on only question is was it worth a powerflow backbox i was origionally giving him for 30 quid ? cheers Nath .
how i got the bike in a sad state lol

That bikes a GOOD ONE i used to be well in the my bmx riding good swop imo lol
Youtube suggests total nutjob lol also looks like you're at a dirt based bmx, probably circa 7 years old, which I think was back when huffy were still the mutts nuts, but i'm no expert.

if he only owed you £30, it's a decent swap. i have a Mongoose Expert (I'm no expert though). it doesn't look like a 1 piece crank, it will catch on ramp's if you use it. use it and smash it to piece's, you'll enjoy it... :thumb:

not too sure what you mean one piece crank lol il take a pikky of it for you , i just thought it will do to throw in the boot to move about on during cruises and shows , il bring it up to portrush with me and fart about on it there lol thanks for the info lads .

As in the pedal crank, being ONE solid piece, so it's not bolted on from either side etc.

Fcuk if you wernt so bastid far away id have bought that off you!
bmx's ftw! I used to love them - always remember the urban myths about the plastic spoked wheels that if they warped you could stick them in a freezer and they'd straighten out!

KregNova,+1 Rep for having old burner's.. that Ultra Burner is ace..My first BMX was a silver and blue Ultra Burner, i trashed it in 4 week's.. My mum wasn't happy to say the least. :thumb:
LMFBO, i've got a felt fuse with some upgraded bits n bobs, Not quite the 1k around £400ish. hardly use it these days to be honest since getting a job and buying another car lol... The burners are awesome, i always wanted a burner when i was younger. Oh and i had a chopper that was funn pmsl
Bring back the old skool!

The burners might not be amazing and expensive, but what els was my old's going to buy me when i was 5! lol
I had one of them in white with spoke wheels and blue tires, then when i was 10 i bought a black and white one of a mate, and at 13 i bought a gold covered chrome framed one for £10 from a car boot!
Good times..
