"So I was born and raised in Va Beach.  As a kid in the late 70s/early-mid 80s we rode BMX and Beach cruisers... My Brother still has his Worksman cruiser. I don't remember mountain bikes really hitting the scene there.  I think I saw my first \"real mountain bike\" in '87-ish, two years after I left Va Beach.\n \n\n\n\tAs for no off road riding in Va Beach:\n \n\n\n\n\t\t we used to take old 10 speeds my dad modded with cruiser tires all over Seashore State park and blueberry hill area. (needed 10 speed granny gear for sugar sand) - fun but ultimately not very satisfying\n\t \n\t\n\t\tClimb/ bomb the hill by John B Dey (I think they built the \"new\" Great Neck road over it) where they found the Indian artifacts\n\t \n\t\n\t\tBombing through Seashore State Park to get to 64th st to meet friends down at the beach\n\t \n\n\n\tmostly we would build ramps or jumps off of trails or street ride....   I demolished so many trash cans with a kickout...\n \n\n\n\tsooo many miles on a Uni seat, and even more scares from the Suntour bear trap pedals\n \n\n\n\t \n\n\n\tNot mine, but close...  just add uni seat, vector bars, and turbox cranks\n \n"
