39 years ago. April 1983.
Before going to the car show at the Moncton Coliseum, we dropped into
Eastern Sports. Me and my cousin Armand. We both bought Haro Flo Panel BMX
plates. I didn’t know what number to
choose. I remembered a picture in one of
my BMX Action magazines of a dude riding a white SE PK Ripper like mine. I didn’t really know who he was but I really
liked his style. And that white PK! I’m not 100% sure, but if I remember
correctly, his name was Bubba Hayes. And
he was rocking #60 as he was slaying his competition on the BMX track. I felt inspired. And decided to also go with #60 for my first
full year of BMX racing. I was 14 years
old. Last year, while cleaning my old
bed room, my mom found my old Haro Flo Panel plate. I cleaned it up. And Luc provided the stickers including my
old #60 bringing it back to life. 39
years ago. 1983. Eat.
Sleep. BMX. Repeat. Yeah, that sure was a great summer…
