    Good God that brings back memories!! I still say the 80's were the very best decade ever! You knew you had hit bigtime when you had a pair of Sergio Valente jeans, a polo shirt with the collar turned up, a Member's Only jacket, and a brand new pair of LA Gear's!! The 80's were my 10 year old to 19 year old decade...ahhh great times!

    Ahhh you big wheel guys don't know anything. You guys had re-makes, I got my original big wheel (the orange, yellow, and blue one with the flag) back in 1974. Having a big wheel made you cool but you were the shizz if you had a Big Green Machine! One kid in my neighborhood had one and he would pull up to all of us on our big wheels and it was like a Ferrari pulling up to a bunch of Toyotas!
