...Where do I start! A legendary film! I used to watch the video of this that I had when I was really young at my Nan's and I found it again on Price I paid - £9.99 It's a 1982/3 film about 3 BMX crazed teenagers who find a set of walkie-talkies that unknown to them reveal a plot by the 'Goons' (bad guys) to rob a bank. 87 minutes duration. Setting: Manly, Australia. The BMX Kids named PJ, Goose and Judy (Nicole Kidman) take the walkie-talkies that they discover and after 'investigation' they find themselves in trouble with the bad guys and are chased on a high speed BMX vs. Car chase throughout the film. The kids report to the police the findings they have made and secretly plot an ambush to get the Goons caught. To do this they round up all the BMX riders in the area and arm them with flour for ammunition. Once caught...

Review of BMX Bandits (DVD)

can I have some 80's cheese please ....BMX BANDITS MOVIE

Advantages: Sit back take a nostalgic journey back to the 80's -remeber your old bmx (if you had one)
Disadvantages: very dated ,and some people may not be able to take it as it is ....

...Baby faced Nicole Kidman was just 17 years old when she played the role of JUDY in BMX Bandits. BMX Bandits was released in 1983 and seeing as I was a child of the 80's Bmx's were a part of my very own childhood as was probably true for most kids growing up in the 80's. So the main reason for me buying this movie ,now, 26 years on from its release, was to take myself back to my childhood and then see if it was as good as I could remember! There was something new for me personally first off, because, I actually got to see the opening credits for the first time ever! when I watched the DVD . I mention this because, way back when, in the 80's or early 90's my brother videoed BMX BANDITS off the telly,and he managed to miss the opening credits ! So the opening credits show bmx ers PJ and Goose riding around in all the BMX...

BMX XXX PS2 GAME

Advantages: plenty hours of entertainment
Disadvantages: can get anoying when you cant complete missions

...Another ps2 game when i first brought and thought it was crap but actually is quite a good game :) just like other bmx games except you dont have professional riders in it. The good thing is that you can create the character or the rider you call it from been male or female,different faces,hair,clothing and so many more :) Is a BMX game(Bicycle Moto Xross) you do stunts and tricks..the better the tricks the higher the points you get for unlocking new maps and items for your character to wear. Female clothing are very sexy from bikini's to playboy bunny costumes to swim suits and more. There are side missions for you to complete like for example pick up 5 hookers within 5mins and you earn certain secrets and goodies. Also you unlock short video clips of strippers dancing and stuff( note- no sex!) is a cool game with good music...

Spezialized bmx helmet

Advantages: looks/weight/design

It also comes in a variety of colours , red/black/white/blue. It is a very atrractive helmet (styled like a moto cross helmet)and contains a few vents for ventelating the head.

The purple mongoose

Advantages: one of my better stories
Disadvantages: unrealistic and melodramatic

...This is a story I wrote as part of my English coursework. The Purple Mongoose It wasn't my fault. After all, it was Emily who had driven me out of the house? Mummy's little girl, perfect in every aspect - and so smug and superior! It was Emily who had started that last argument, saying things she knew would cut me to the bone, trying and succeeding to hurt me. It was Emily who had followed me past the yellow warning signs onto the old bridge? How was I to know that she would actually dare follow me? I thought that perfect little Emily would give up as soon as I entered private property and stepped onto the dangerously frail bridge, due for demolition ten or more years ago, deliberately to get rid of her. But no, she obviously thought that if we got caught she could blame me and no one would get cross with her...

The Adventures of Mongoose Man

Advantages: n.a
Disadvantages: n.a

...I've put this in the 'Daft Stories' section as although it's a serious piece in it's own right, it's also a parody of comic book heroes. I originally wrote these short stories for another website, based on an ongoing character I had created. They're no works of art, but I thought some of you might enjoy these two, so here goes! ****************************************************** Story 1 The Adventures of Mongoose Man - A Beginning ------- Chapter 1: An Ordinary Life Frank sat in his office. The fan above his head whirred into life again, blowing the cool air onto his thinning head. He needed to get out more, get more excitement, the years had just passed him by and he hadn’t really noticed until it was too late. Now he had one of those kind of lives that he swore he’d never end up in. 29 and already...

Disadvantages: slightly heavy in weight but this makes the balance better

...This Huffy bmx i have had for 5 years now and have been one of my favourite bicycles.I take it out for a ride at least once a week and still looks great and runs smoothly but after 5 years of riding there are changes on the bmx itself such as the tyres front and back ones have been changed,the wear on the hand grips have been replaced by new ones;the chain is new ones also due to the wear and dirt and tear throughout this 5 years and finally the freewheel is replaced as the old one started to rust which effects the motion of the bicycle greatly.

Rotherham Racing Inc BMX Website

Advantages: Great Site, Easy to Use
Disadvantages: Awaiting results on results page

...Rotherham Racing Inc is a BMX Racing team situated in the village I live in near to Rotherham. They set up less that 21 months ago to give the local kids something to do, it has fast become one of the Midlands Regions more popular tracks, and the Rotherham kids and adults alike have settled well into the BMX scene.

BMX Racing - Fun For The Whole Family.

Advantages: Exercise, fun for entire family, competitive...
Disadvantages: ...can be quite expensive if you are seriously involved in this sport.

...I am not sure whether or not the sport of BMX (Bicycle Motocross) racing is popular in the UK or not: However, since I live in the States, I found it only appropriate to write from that point of view, and welcome all feedback (especially that which lets me know how popular BMX is in YOUR part of the world, whether it's the United Kingdom, the States, India, wherever). Almost thirty years ago, America's most popular children's bicycle was the Schwinn Grape Krate. It was a big, ugly beast of a bicycle, complete with annoying chain guards, fender guards, reflectors, and an enormous banana seat, not to mention apehanger handlebars. This was, however, the coolest bike in the world - for reasons unknown to me. Motocross - the REAL sport, involving high-powered dirt bikes - was also popular. Children in California got the idea into their...
