9. Scooter scarecrow hair

When the skatepark is over run with scooter kids, we all know that building a cunning scarecrow will keep them off the coping long enough to get your session in. But seriously, how do you get the hair to look so realistic? errr hello… Inner tubes! It’s a little known fact that at least one spliced tube will give the glossy locks of any skatepark scarecrow and keep those critters out of your way.

10. His and hers state of the art wedding rings

There’s nothing like a good old BMX wedding. When you’re stood there on the deck of a vert ramp, suit on with Vans trainers. What better way to seal your vows than a matching pair of his and hers wedding rings. Specifically manufactured from the same tubes you learned peacocks with back in 2001. Romance is never dead in the thrifty world of the BMXer.
