I'm not old school but I remember mowing grass for $20 a yard to get a Kink Fiend frame. Seems like it was a long time ago.

You know you're old school when you not only remember Dizz Hicks, but you remember his hairstyle... Hope this helps

the first bike you bought from cutting yards was a Torker at the local Schwinn bike shop back in 1982 and then years later buying a white Haro Master.

All your buddies rode lower model Haro bikes except for that one guy who had the Dave Mirra signature bike and everyone was jealous. 
This is Red Panda. Due to our own ignorance, he has become an endangered species. Please help save the rainforests so they have a place to live... You wouldn't want Red Pandas tearing down your home.
