:18: ok sit back for a tale, about 10 or 15 years ago or longer when SANDY had his shop he had all the baddest bmx stuff u could want. he also did alot of special order and mail order stuff. 1 day while hanging out at the shop i over herd sandy talking with a custimer on the phone about a mini gusset robinson frame that had been swipped from his shop a few weeks ealier. bye the neighbor hood punk. now the only reason why i knew this is becaus the littel punk showed me the frame. and i saw the shop sticker on it plus knew it was the one he lost. i told sandy i think i know were that is. NOW REMEMBER IM ONLY ABOUT 12 OR 13 AT THE TIME so seeing sandy come out with a 4 foot cresent wrench and say let's go i knew i was in trouble. not knowing what was going to happen. we drove over the the kids house. he saw us coming and ran out the back door and up the street. well since i knew were the frame was i marched right into his house and returned a few minuts later with the MINI ROBINSON.

we drove back to the shop with the frame. as a reward sandy gave me a set of gold 7x wheels for all the troubles and i think he had to call my mom to tell her that he gave them to me and i did not steel them.

i have more stories of WHEELS N THINGS ILL SHARE SOME OTHER DAY

LIKE MY REDLINE PRO LINE STOLEN FROM HIS SHOP.

cruiserking,
WoW dude that's exactly the way it was 25 years ago it was like being there again.
:24: Thou Shall Not Steal from Wheels N Things or its Customers that's Sandy's Law!
You get caught you can never come Back and in those days it's Pure OSBMX Punishment, you're razzed at the track, school, neighbors, amazing how fast the word spreads in the BMX Community.

Those were the days my friend,
