Are you thinking of Blizzard Island?

I wanted nothing more than to be on this show when I was a kid.

Nicholas Picolas did the in-game hosting of Buffalo Sabres games for a while too.

Video Hits - I remember coming home from school and putting this on to see the latest videos from Bryan Adams, Glass Tiger and Gowan. Who am I kidding? Gowan sucked.

For the record, I was incredibly lucky to get a Diamond Back Pacer 500, and treated that bike like it was a $200k Ferrari. It was my most prized possession ever, and will never forget the day my dad bought it for me as a surprise. I get choked up every time I think of the circumstances.

This was the beast I rode.

The Kuwahara / Mongoose / Redline / Diamond Back rivalry was like Smartphones of today.
