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.
I awarded myself infinite cool points. Breaking the rules has never been this cool... EVER! Forever.

...when you can do at least 5 kick turn variations on command.
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.

You know your Old School when you can say "I went to see R.L Osbourne's air show" in the mid 80's.

You know you're OLD SCHOOL when you thought RAD was the greatest movie ever. If you don't remember watch it now and tell me how gay you feel after the bike dancing scene.
