Loved this back in the 80s. Sunday morning tv in my PJs. Thanks for posting

[@S.Hitchcock]

Saturday mornings dreaming of owning a motorbike. Big sigh then it was off out on the bmx.

[@mavos1211]

Me too! I just couldn’t get my head round how these kids could get one! I wanted one so bad as a kid… never got one.

[@garethjones8047]

They were better days mate.

[@The_ATARI_King]

Mate... ! School holidays. Why don't you...The Monkees...Junior Kick start (then over to ITV for BMX Beat) then out playing with mates all day on our Grifters, ATARI or Commodore 64. man alive we all loved our time but being a kid in the 80s was fucking cool

[@scottcochrane8440]

YES! Now you're talking !. They'd NEVER let shows like junior kickstart nowadays I mean they won't even let kids play conkers anymore so imagine the health and safety brigade with this ? They'd have a field day! 😂😂

[@charleshalfhide2936]

They should bring back kick start it was a top show that all the family enjoyed watching.

[@samuelidredd8921]

Wow such nostalgia, this show popped into my head when I was out on my mountain bike the other day. I am 45 years old but when I remember this I'm six again doing agility courses on my B.M.X. in the back garden (My dad eventually bought us two second hand Garelli rev and go scramblers from Gullivers kingdom theme park (Matlock bath), Happy times.

[@angelacooper2661]

Ride them again, Sam!

[@nathanlykins5641]

My dad was close friends with Jack Stites. Spent loads of time over at his house, funny to see him so young.

[@Vengerthefellhound]

I watched this religiously, bought daughter her first motocross bike this week an She's now addicted to the programme

[@angelacooper2661]

A wheely good idea!

[@jakecolt9783]

Many thanks for the upload, i really miss this show.

[@angelacooper2661]

I remember this programme well and would have been fourteen at the time, so some of the riders were contemporaries. That means we are now 52 (what do they look like now?)

[@FanVarious]

These young lads will be in their 50s now.

[@soundjarvis81]

I know have the theme tune stuck in my head!

[@dogfish180]

do do do dodododododooooo do do do dudododododododododdo!!!

[@angelacooper2661]

The key of this is in C major (I have a very good memory for tunes and possess perfect pitch!)

[@manishoker3484]

Brings back good memories...

[@johnjtm1097]

Wasn't there a computer game of this in the 1980s? I think we had it for our Commodore 64.

[@thejamesieboy]

Yeah there was, I had the Spectrum 128k +2 version. Technically will still have, it will be in the loft both computer and game.

[@angelacooper2661]

My brother Anthony, who is less than three years older than me, had a Sinclair ZX Spectrum in his teens and he used to play games on it. He turned 55 last month!

[@paulrandall7939]

Still play it to this day on an c64 emulator. Think there was kickstart and second game. Called Kickstart 2.

[@cloudfactory2000]

Like how Peter pieces says,go and have a practice at the start,and they all ride off without Helmut's. I bet that wouldn't be allowed today.

[@scottcochrane8440]

The whole programme wouldn't be allowed nowadays the health and safety mob would see to that

[@markgraham4732]

This is fantastic....pleasant tv. Used to watch this on a Sunday.

[@redcalx9568]

i was 10 good times

[@cliveboaden]

As the kids ride off to practice and put on their helmets and gloves...

[@tel2956]

Great show but imagine this now. Sadly wouldn't happen

[@darrelltregear3571]

I had a ty 175 twin shock. Paid 80 pounds for it .it needed front and rear sprocket and chain and it ran on Castrol R oil till my dad took the head off it washed it out and then ran it on plain 2 stroke oil .

[@ThrumWorldWalker]

I can smell the fumes!

[@alankendall5701]

Too much air in thst rear tyre,

[@benitopussolini544]

Before kids,with the help of their equally brainwashed parents became addicted to the new electronic oplum (all by design of course),they used to be interested in things like this.never again will this happen.thank god I'm getting old!

[@colinbleach9390]

Great tv in the 80s ...sadly lacking in imagination on tv nowadays

[@Eltonlaleham]

hated 1984 stuck in dreaded school until the following year 1985 when I turned 16 and left dreaded school without a decent proper job and decent proper salary

[@Squab1972]

Memories of the 6 weeks holidays

[@夕暮れのカラス]

当時のマシンの性能を考えると、とても頑張っていると思う。 倒れても、失敗しても、真剣にスポーツに取り組む姿勢が清々しい！

[@FanVarious]

はい、私はあなたに心から同意します、私は拘束されます。

[@quantumdino]
