‘Forty-four Sixteen’ BMX T-shirt by ElectricSun… Available NOW!
The early eighties. Long hot summer holidays (or at least that’s how we like to remember them).
The tread of Comp III tyres sinking into the park tarmac as it baked in the sunshine. Pedalling for miles to the nearest BMX track to jump the double whoops or tabletop, perhaps daring to do a cross-up mid air. Or maybe constructing wobbly ramps out of scraps of wood and bricks found on building sites, whilst listening to the fresh sounds of ‘electro’ and ‘rap’ music tapes on a ghetto-blaster.
Through the influence of BMX magazines such as ‘BMX Action Bike’ and ‘BMX Bi-Weekly’, we spent most of our spare time longing to be like our state-side heroes, trying to replicate their signature tricks that they made look so easy, and miraculously dodging A&E.
But whether you raced or not, the ultimate accessory had to be a number plate. This ElectricSun T-shirt looks back to the iconic plate designs from the beginning of the decade as the sport was taking off on a massive scale, and uses the original number typography sported by many racers of the day. This Tee is dedicated to the legendary riders of that era, such as Bob Haro, R.L. Osbourne, Harry Leary, and Eddie Fiola (to name but a few), who paved the way for the future of BMX and inspired kids globally. ElectricSun salute you!
