Not a mini-bike but I'm gonna sneak this one last Von Dutch picture in just cause I always thought it was so bitchin' :

2-stroke "Nitro" powered roller skate he hand crafted/striped/lettered.....no-one is really sure what ever became of it......

The kid on the bike is Mark Lindquist who built all kinds of contraptions growing up and went on to gain fame as an artist and sculptor and invented a new technique in photography called "Robography"
