yes they were clackers..effectively 2 pieces of shoe string with 2 rock hard solid plastic balls on the end that would try and break your wrist everytime you got it wrong,when you did get it right you darent stop because of the ensuing pain and tears that were sure to follow on slowing down
i remember sat in the kitchen with a large wet towel round my wrist to take the bruising down...while still trying to master them
bikewise i had a raleigh grifter,chopper and a raleigh team banana mile race bike for my road racing.
just found out they have brought the evel knieval bikes back out!!!! yay
