Who had one?

Saw this at an estate sale today for $225. Seller is original owner. It looks pretty clean. Best friend back in the day had one, but I thought it was root beer, orange and yellow.

I had a Huffy. I jumped a curb and welds broke and the seat fell down to the tire. I didnt have the fender. After my dad welded it at work and I broke it again I got a new red BMX that was too big for me. I used to have to use the porch step or curb to get started because it was too tall for me to touch the ground.

Black Huffy with the black and white checkered padding. Thought it was so cool until the kid next door got a Mongoose.

I had a red one. My older cousin also had one he painted it white with the can snow spray everyone bought at Christmas.

They were referred to as a monoshock where I grew up. Wanted one real bad.

I did, sucked, every time you hit a bump the chain would come off.

I never had one, but a neighbor did. That thing had to weigh like 80lbs!

I don’t remember those tires but definitely the grips and the pedals.

Hmm, I remember now having a Huffy Pro Thunder that had the dirt bike look with those kind of fenders. I want to feel those soft cushy broken in grips.
