^^Totally had a chromed out Kuwahara back in the day, before ET came out. I put a Jeff Bottema fork on it. To this day, breaking that fork at the crown after over-shooting a jump to flat was one of the worst bike failures ever. I can still taste the blood and dirt in my teeth.

That is still a good looking bike. Why did you upgrade the fork? One of the local bike shops had a cool bmx bike but before ET we had no idea what kind of bike it was and that you could jump your bike like that. This was life in small town of Denmark with one state run TV channel that clearly was into BMX.
