Here is my GT Fueler. It's a 1996 model I think. Back when it was new.....
....and now....
Saw a lot of use over the years. Not so much now, but still gets a spin occasionally. There's no point getting rid of it as my son will get it eventually, although at 30lb it's a heavy bugger for a 10 year old.
It's probably not 'down with the kids' either. The saddle is too high and it has a brake.
Here it is been put to good use. This kind of stuff is beyond me now....
And ignoring the skinny jeans, one can only aspire to ever riding like this...

Bought a Kink Whip at the Cycle Show. Ex demo, 25% off, signed by the Kink riders. It's for the boys (honest), but is light, rides beautifully and I will be trying it at the park when the kids aren't around. It's a bit small for me really (20.5"). Oh and I fell off my Airnimal on a ramp playing on Saturday evening with the boys.
Never had one as a child...Boys want to take it to Swinley.

There are 22" bikes too - my mate has one and loves it. I've had a go and I have to say, it is pretty darn good too.

Kimbers I've removed your post from this thread as wasn't a very nice thing to have in this thread. Feel free to create a new thread announcing the tragic accident though.

Cool dad for sure.
Me and Tyred Jr the elder (5yo) spend a few hours each weekend at the concrete park round the corner from us and have the odd outing to a nearby track, him on his Islabike, me on my 20". I'm 6'1 and ride a 21" tt wethepeople.
Since my younger days I have acquired The Fear, but I'm getting better. Doubt I'll ever be floating 180s high over the coping, but its all good fun, especially when you suddenly remember a bit of technique you thought had gone forever. At the moment I'm trying to remember what to do with a hip.
It'll be cool right up until the day my younger son announces he doesn't want me to come any more.
letmetalktomark - that Trailstar is lovely.
Zedsdead - is that Clydebank? Keep meaning to take the wee fella over, will do soon.

Is that a Faction? I looked into those but wasn't sure how much difference 2" would make to the stability.
I really want to get back into bmx for dirt jumping and skatepark as they "just work" and nothing ever seems to break whereas my mtb always has things clicking and clunking. Just couldn't get used to the stability issue last time although being a Sunday 20.5" it wasn't really a jumping bike, more for street. Ended up selling as I needed the money at the time, but wish I persevered to see how it went.
btw lyons I just tried to email you about the Deluxe but couldn't see a visible email address.

Good plan, will do soon!

It is a Faction.
It's really good, although I would say change the standard bars to taller and wider. The handling is ace! Definitely give one a go
