hahaha Jealousy is a curse.
Glenn Casey,
I own approximately 20 Tuffs 
I raced between 81 and 84. I sucked and so I took up riding skateparks. Much more fun. 
My claim to fame is the Skatepark article on me and my buddy Dean in Pancake mag.
Home track, Blacktown and Metro West. Travelled around Sydney racing a bit.
Restarted racing in 2005 at Ashmore on the Gold Coast. Since moving to Hervey Bay I haven't been able to keep racing due to lack of time and the distance to Maryborough.
These days I just cruise along the esplanade with my kids and ride the track on the weekends.
Bikes,
1981 Supergoose (my original bike since new)
1977 Motomag (another of my original bikes)
2007 Quadangle retro. My rider
1980 Mongoose. My Jeff Watson tribute build.
Bratz dragster retro build.
1990 Redline RL 440 retro build.
2003 Merida 24" Moto cruiser.
198? Akisu Twin Top tube freestyler (sons rider)
1994 ? Dyno Nitro (sons other rider)
198? Vortex mini (daughters rider)
All have Tuffs except the daughters Vortex. Oh the Bratz has Motomags on it.

Adrian Hoggett
Morwell, VIC
Started life in Tassie, moved to VIC in 98.

Same as Troy, restoring got me here.
I raced at my local track, Springfield in Hobart from 80-83.

I started restoring bikes and collecting because I couldnt afford the top line bikes back in  the day.
Now I have a Redline MXII, Kuwahara KYZ, Diamondback Senior Pro and a Team Hotfoot and a Crossrider.

I race in the 40-44 class at Warragul BMX club on a 24' Redline Flight I bought of Phil Kaye.

I also just finished a Minigoose for my youngest son.

I run my own business as a gardener.

Raced in the early 80's mostly at Minto. On A MX, Raleigh, Redline, Diamond Back and Sunshine.
Worked in Baglea Cycles at fairfield, Bells line of cycles at Nth Richmond, Richmond Cycles and laced wheels for REPCO for a couple of weeks.
Got the Freestyle bug in the late 80's and bought a Haro Master and never looked back to racing.
Claim to fame: got my picture in a a skate mag twice once doing a 360 flatty out of a snake pit near baulkum hills and the other was doing a turn down on the old Quakers hill half pipe. ( no i don't have the mags or pics anymore thanks to my mothers tidiness)
Discovered cars and motorbikes and haven't really ridden since 1991 plus to fat to be that cruel to a bike these days so i reverted to collecting them.
To many bikes to list in current collection.
Owner Creator of this website although the admin and other members need to take credit for most of the work in recent years.
Currently work for myself as a Carpet cleaner but was previously trained and worked in IT for 12 odd years.
