It's finally done! All original, mint condition NEVER been ridden parts.

hey I think I might still have one of those...I grew up near the Skyway plant in Redding CA. I hope my mom didnt sell it! How much is it worth?
- Tyrone0
Well worth is a relative thing. It took me 3 years to get all the parts. I spent about $3,000 on it. I'm guessing I could sell it for about $1500 but I will NEVER sell.

Are those RL Flight cranks or Peregrine?
- Tyrone0
Mimio I'm offended!!! Those are the real deal RL flights with REAL Hutch bear trap pedals connected to em.
Oh and the handle bars are Woody Itson signature series from VDC BEFORE Hutch made em.

tyrone, that is the fat shit.
You should build a replica gold-plated woody itson trick star next. ya big fucking pimp.
rasko is going to be hella jealous.
- nessdog0
he sure is!
- Tyrone0
mrdobolina this thread was all for you man. I've been promising these pics for awhile now.
I got ahold of a mint white trickstar when i was building this. Maybe I should have kept it for the gold plating. Funny you mention that bike, I was at the New Hampshire contest that Woody rode that bike at. I have a pic of me and him and the bike. I'll have to find that shit.

*bear trap flashback
thanks rasko
- Tyrone0
Yo rasko! I have a pair of white tuffs AND a white TA frame and fork. Haven't found a Uni saddle though. That would be dope.
I've already scratched up my leg just moving the bike around from those fucking pedals.

Beartraps = 7 stiches in my left shin. Then I purchased some Hammer pads.

muahaha yeah I still have mine. Just talked to my mom and its kickin it in the garage. Tyrone I'll send you some pics of it when I go get it from the house. The story goes: my old BMX got stolen, so my mom had friends who worked at the Skyway plant (this was after they stopped making the TA's). So she surprised me by getting them to build probably one of the last TA's out of the plant. This was when I was like 12 I think.
Is it hard to find parts and such? Your bike looks fuggin hot, its inspiring me to fix mine back up too.
