I think I placed in the State Under 6's on my old Mongoose, and then won State U7's on the DB. Very fuzzy memory though.
I was a huge kid compared to everyone else back then, I was one of the few who rode 20 inch bikes at that age.

BMX's
Graham you're taking me back now, Kurahara's!!!, Gt's, Haro's, Redline's, Mongoose's, Diamondback's, what an era!! I had a Mongoose back in the day, but they are a piece of crap nowadays sold in KMart.
Brenz, maybe a Free Agent, had a work experience kid with one, looked the goods, but probably only for freestyle.
