"Man, that Worksman is worth a fucking mint here now.\n \n\n\n\t \n \n\n\n\tAnyhoo, the Red Mill/Derby Run/Ocean Lakes crowd were the BMX nuts. They had all the hot bikes. And pretty good mullets too. The Oceanfront was and still is all MTB. Oceanfront Bikes in the old WRV building was where my buddy who knew Chris Chance worked. Got my Yokota there in '87 or '88? '85 was the big breakout year for mountains bikes that I can recall. I remember seeing a Nishiki and Fisher for the first time then. North End Bikes was the Marin and Trek dealer. Conte's and Freewheelin were late to the MTB party, they were more mainstream shops. Conte's sold Specialized though.\n \n\n\n\t \n \n\n\n\tSeashore State park still the same as it ever was (except they renamed it First Landing, but I refuse to call it that). We used to ride back in the trails by the Tarmac yard here at the Oceanfront, off Oceana Blvd and the railroad tracks. Also down by Dam Neck, but that was much later.\n \n\n\n\t \n \n\n\n\tEdit: And hell yes, street ramps. Always pilfered building sites for scrap wood. My cousin broke her arm once on a ramp. I also flew into the side of a house trying to jump one on a Jamis beach cruiser.\n \n"
