Would have been my 5th. Outgrew my first one that started with training wheels, though those lasted all of half a day on it, haha.

hahaha I remember I got my first BMX around 92 or 93 because I have a picture with it with my name and 8 years old written on the back.
It was a BH California, in blue. It lasted for many years, until I was 14 or 15 or so, mainly because during the summer break when I had the most time to cycle around, I was shipped to my dad's home village 500 miles away and I couldn't take it with me, so literally, I could only use it on Sundays after church or, when I was a little older in like 97 / 98 and started going to the slopes on Fridays. A sort of gravel circuit shared by all sorts of vehicles lol.
It was not all bad, down at my dad's village we had a couple of chopper style bikes that we would share amongst the three cousins but one of them didn't like cycling much and preferred his skateboard,
It was a red G.A.C Motoretta that looked exactly like this, and tbh I liked it much more than my BMX haha
