An idea for Todd Lyons and SE Bikes

Old school racer/jumper/street rider and shameless self-promoter Todd Lyons and I go back to the P.O.W. House days of the early 90's.  I don't think we actually lived in the house at the same time, but everyone would congregate there either to go riding or to go out at night.  So we shared some fun times in those days of stealing $7 beers in clubs and taking over unused beer taps.

These days Todd's a family man, and brand manager for SE Bikes, which happened to be the company that sponsored my Idaho freestyle teammate Jay Bickel back in 1984.  Todd's been spearheading the design of a bunch of big BMX bikes aimed at us old guys, as well as the traditional SE classics like the Quadangle and the PK Ripper.

I stumbled across this classic photo yesterday, looking for something else.  This amazing photo is the cover of FREESTYLIN' magazine issue #3, the first issue I got as a kid in Idaho.  I thought, with all the old school flavored stuff Todd's been doing at SE, like getting Mike Buff and Stu Thomsen bikes out, it would be cool if he did a new version of this classic photo.  It's Todd Anderson jumping over the convertible bug,  with Perry Kramer, Dino Deluca, Toby Henderson, McGoo (?) Fred Blood, and a couple others in the car.

If any of you out there think Todd should make this happen, leave a comment on the facebook page where you see this.  Oh, and to make it difficult for you Todd, you absolutely need to get a Ford Pinto in the background.  OK, who thinks this is a cool idea?

Update:  354 page views on this post in about three hours, AND Todd Anderson said on Facebook that he's up for it.  Freakin' Cool.  No word from Todd Lyons yet, but he might still be in China, in a far different time zone.
