Bmx skip find.

Many moons ago i had a vey nice skyway teardrop that endded up getting stollen from my garage.
Since then i have alway wanted to get another Bmx just for messing about on.
Well today was one of them days.
I was walking my dog when i came past a skip only to see what looked like a Bmx handle bar sticking out.On closer look it was a chrome framed Bmx so thought i would go and knock on the door to see if it was ok to have a look.
The chap answered the door and was more than happy to let me take it away.
Result.
Once it was out the skip i was greated by a Haro Bmx so was well chuffed but didnt let on.
This is what it was like when i got it home today.

All it needed was the front brake free'd off and some air in the tyres.
Once all this was done i thought i would go and see if i still had some of me old bmx tricks lol.
After pulling off a spot on bunny hop i thought i would go for a wheely past the local school girls.
At this point the front wheel popped up and was then followed by the back wheel going strait under me and me landing on my ar5e.
Didnt hurt lol well untill i got down the road abit.
Epic fail but still nice to have a bmx back in my life to play on.
It still needs some tlc but i just couldnt wait to take it out.
Hope you like.

Nice find dude Harro rule iv had four last one bein a dave mirra pro 1999 model with the white wall tyres

I need to take the seat up a little on this and then clean the seat tube as it is pure rat look at the mo lol.
