This video gives me hope. If these died out then surely the current scooter epidemic wil die out.

@Rubbaduckie1975 i think it is upper rainham road - i lived opposite brettons farm for 20 years 87-08

[SuperMonarca1]

scooters have come a long way.

[MADROCKS212]

those things just made it dangerous for skaters, crashing into someone on of those things in a bowl or on a ramp was moody

I had this clip myself for at least ten years. I have a Pacer scooter which I got for Christmas 1988 and still own. My kids like to use it now and again. I used to do allsorts of street with it as it was more agile than a BMX and you really didn't get hurt as much. I deffinately tried stuff on the scooter that I wouldn't try on a bike.

I loved the fashion at the time aswell: VSW, Life's a Beach, Anarchic Adjustment, etc.

The 80's is the most fucked up corny era ever lol.

Rad to see the Reservoir again without all that dodgy and obstructive rampage about the place... It occurs to me that without all that stuff the Bmx fraternity would be making transfers between the reservoir and the 1/2 pipe capsule.

Reinstate the reservoir.
