[QUOTE="Grant, post: 366840, member: 370"] Cool... if you had one of them BITD you were one lucky Mofo. The year all those things were hitting the streets I got a brand new grifter that I'd been ogling in catalogues for what felt like forever... I'd never seen a BMX in the catalogues... So Christmas morning 1982 i wake up to a new baby blue Grifter. I was over the moon for about an hour. :lol: We were quite poor, just me and my mum back them. So she was likely going to be paying the catalogue up for the next age for my new Grifter looking back now. :| Anyway I remember looking out my sitting room window Christmas morning and some kids rode past on their new BMX's, I remember thinking how cool they looked with the mag wheels and no mudguards. So I said to her mum look at those, I then stupidly said some thing to the tune of I wish Santa had got me one of those. Well no sooner than I'd finished me sentence she totally flipped out... I had to ride that grifter till like 86 or 87. I was then lucky enough to get a mustang. Black and white one. For that 4 long years on the Grifter I was like the uncoolest kid on the block with my big heavy blue tank and grip shift handbars lol. F--King hated that thing. :mrgreen: [/QUOTE]
