What fad from your childhood/teenage years used to be "in" but now has vanished?

I had a Mag Burner back in the 80s and it was most definitely white with black wheels. I also had the Super Tuff Burner too, that one was gold one with black mags. The one you've posted is the standard Tuff Burner.


Tuff Burner is black and gold like a Super Burner, was Ultra Burner, silver and Blue (think there were tow colours AFAIR)

Seems there is more than one of some models, I only remember original launch.

Burner (Red/Yellow) https://bmxmuseum.com/bikes/raleigh/94962

Mag Burner (Blue/Yellow) and AFAIK only one originally with Mag wheels rest were spoked.

Tuff Burner (No clue on colour or for sure if I even remember it) https://bmxmuseum.com/bikes/raleigh/94963

Super Burner (Gold/Black AFAIR)

Ultra Burner (Silver/Blue but may have had two colours options)

Was there not a high end one with SkyWay wheels?

There was also a red and white one called an Extra Burner. I wasn't allowed one as my elder brother had it. I ended up with a generic thing that had BMX written on the side and weighed a ton. :mad::(

There was a Super Tuff that had those wheels, think it was black and gold. And I think maybe a silver one that had them too.

Head bags (the ones with the zip off end section)

Argos catalogue specials. Kids at our school were grouped or defined by what bag they had. Few from me:

Rebook Hexalite Pumps
Garbage Pail Kids Stickers
Cola Flavoured Hubba-Bubba
Tab Clear
Alba/Bush/Goodmans stereos, and when they eventually broke finally getting a half decent Panasonic one. :D
Construx
Copying tape to tape, or by extension recording songs from the radio onto said tape. TDK/C90s ruled.
