Nix the Business inquiries , I need educated mechanical labour , cash or my PayPal Account fattened up so that Ferris ,my 1974 Ford XB GS Hardtop with a Supercharged 351 Cleveland in it , can roam the streets again , rumbling the ground & bringing a smile to everyone who see's a real car with chrome bumper bars , getting driven among the all the bland cars that populate the roads today. I had it running as a reliable daily driver from 1996 until late 2000. The car needs to be seen, & heard on the streets again in Version 2.0.with a lazy 500HP at the wheels.I have the video cameras to film it for a RUclips Channel , if you enjoyed the 1980's it;s time again to "Save Ferris" & go global.

Minto BMX Champion of Champions 2
You can put a title to a BMX race meeting with a pro purse , it doesn't mean that the title you win is a valid or worth recognizing. The only item that the winners got that anyone recognized was the Cash , any trophy won at Minto Parklands track never got shown to anyone else.

Indoor BMX racing comes to Sydney
Просмотров 7939 лет назад
This was a great event to race in , unfortunately I only managed to get 2 races in due to time constraints or something a 2nd & a 4th didn't cut it for any more races for me. It was a fantastic weekend. I only regret not getting more time to ride around the indoor dirt track. ,
Minto BMX Champion of Champions 3
Просмотров 1,4 тыс.9 лет назад
4 people racing on a 1 lane track for money in a "winner takes it all format" was not the best choice to determine the Champion of Champions. Johnny Harris should have won his class final , but due to the format of the race first one over the line won in each class.

Originally a 31 second Plasma Burn. slowed down & lightly filtered , my web browser often freezes or i get messages from you tube that something has gone wrong when I do to much work on these "variations" Plamsa inside of a Microwave Oven has always been a challenge to film well from day one , I really should find some kind of explanation as to why the noise sounds so brutal when it gets played...
Filtered & slowed down Plasma in Microwave Oven
Просмотров 439 лет назад
One thing I noticed very early with my MW Plasma video's is that when I ran them through a video software program that was supposed to automatically "clean up" video in the late 1990's the cleaned up Plasma Video ended up looking nothing like the original video. I have a few of these "tweaked" video's here where I have slowed them down , changed the filters etc , some have turned out to be usef...

Blacktown BMX Track Version 2
Просмотров 1,6 тыс.9 лет назад
Blacktown BMX track was my "home" track & as the presenters noted , for an outdoor venue whatever it didn't have onsite people would bring it along for the day. The man behind the constant developement of the track from day was an exceptionally brave , humble & very cool Cop , Sgt Bob Barnes. I think that being heavily involved with Police Rescue , where total KAOS & Carnage were the order of t...

Wheat Bix BMX extended remix
Просмотров 2549 лет назад
I found this extended remix of the old Wheat Bix BMX ad.I have no idea why the picture of the No. 45 Champion cycles guy stays on for so long , in this version , he should have been on one of the collectible cards it's such a good photo. I made this recording within a week of us getting a 2nd VHS video recorder in our house , 1981 or 1982.

It took a few years for Australia's TV con men to realize that if they made a pilot TV show with some BMX bikes , troubled Youth's with Dis-functional Parents & a helpful Mentor to guide their way...Make the pilot really cheap , pay none of the people involved in making it , then run off to any drunk TV Network executive they took to lunch , to sell the $200 pilot show for $100K & also get a ~$...
Keep Your Plasma Making Microwave Oven Clean

As you can see by the high temperature tape I have placed on the roof of the cooking cavity , even when you think the ovens interior is clean , sometimes you miss a piece. The Plasma will go for the smallest piece of Organic matter thats stuck onto the roof of the cooking cavity & stay there heating up the spoy until the paint gets burnt through down , then it see's the bare metal at earth pote...

Bob Haro BMX Australia Simon Townsends Wonder World
From tv show called Home?
Good old pedal brakes, great for doing skids too
"I'm heading to Australia, then the Hawaiian Nationals, then me and Mick are gonna wing on over to London to jam with the Stones! Hey, where'd you get that jacket?"
He's amazing
Just bought a PK Ripper Super Elite XL in 2024. Long live the king.
Year?
1982
I remember when they toured and raced at Lalor in Victoria.
Yes I agree, I was 1 NZ back in the day around 82. We travelled here. The issue with this Track was it was too hard to Navigate as it had No Berms in the corners so you were sliding out or getting Blocked off in the Turns. I raced Glenn Rawson here & I beat him in a Moto then I got caught up in the Final as I was in lane 8 so hard to get over into the first turn in a Final to squeeze in.
Which year was this???
That’s the best old school BMX video I’ve seen. Love the humour, timeless soundtrack, and throwing in plenty of mistakes. Props to Australia 👍
Wonder world show was amazing-BMX was massive back then-such fun times-so many adventures riding around Sydney Australia 🇦🇺
There ain’t no t in mino
PHENOMENAL ✌ GOD'S EARTH ALWAYS ON TV ENTERTAINMENT BUT RESPECT IT REGARDLESS
I Toured this Track as an International Champion in 82 & it was the worst I ever rode on. No Berms to Ride around going into the corners & just slippery with a Huge Jump going around the back home straight Im sure it was refurbished in 83 to a more better standard.
Those days
Still got my Haro Shredder Super Deluxe ' 97 ' in Matt black, 8 ball sprocket, Knee Saver 2 bars, ADD 990's front and rear, oversize Maxxis Mach Daddy tyres. I love that bike! RIP DAVE MIRRA
I raced at that track in the early 80’s on my Diamond Back...great memories.
Fantastic 👍
Mr. Bob Haro you will always be my hero I started your tricks and had you mastered back in the 1980s I'm 52 years old now
i found a Haro in front of a milk bar, i still have it.
Bob Haro seemed old to us kids in the 80s, he's a baba here!
that bikes gotta be worth 10 grand to the right person if it's in its original form
The track that was on townsend av
Jeff Bottema.... a berm is well like a berm and uh a jump is uh a ramp you jump.....uh and the dirt is uh like the dirt we ride on.....duhhhhhhh
We're gonna seem him here at the 'Old School' BMX show on Sunday!
Living legend. I owned an 82 pk ripper. That's why I'm here.
This is the first time ive ever seen the guy. Is he still alive? The ripper is probably the most iconic bike. I know a guy right now who has a new one. I never new what p.k. looked like. Weird.
Amazing memory !! Can you re-upload that video without "RUclips Video Stabilization" ? It's not very pleasant to watch... ;-)

Yir some man Bob!
Plasma?
Your group? Lets face it, if you cant race the conditions, you're not a racer. What were you on? a 12 speed?
+TheDJRobbieK Have I upset you because I called your home track a Goat Track Robbie ? I gave most ever track in Sydney at least 1 race on an open day , if the track was well designed & had more than one line to take after the first corner it was good enough to come back to. I'd race 20in BMX , 26in Cruiser & Sidehack under any conditions , but Minto's goat Track & Ryde Eastwood's 10 lane monster track's design just plain sucked & deserrve the shitty race track award. I clearly raced a Repco monoshock with coaster brake Tuff 1's on it from 79 to 84. I sold my 10 speed to buy it. They didn't make any production 12 speeds back then , only leg shaving , spandex wearing guys like you had 12 speed production bikes when you were young.
The 650 Watt magnetron inside this Stainless Steel; MW oven took a massive thrashing in a ton of earlier plasma & heat generating tests. Most of them were extended burns that were poorly load matched , hence no blowout of the 400 Watt Mercury Vapour lamp , the Magnetron was probably only putting out 100 Watt's rather than its rated 650. I should post a picture of the Magnetron after I autopsied this oven , the once white emitter is a very deep Violet in Colour
