Old School Barrhaven BMX Freestyle

[TheSwiftCee]

This is great, its nice to see that kids all over the world were having fun on their BMX's, this could have been a scene from the UK at the same time. Good innocent fun, long summers, getting new parts for ya bike! trying new tricks. Happy Days man,

I always hated those CW handlebars!

Nice video, we have our own William Crazy Lacy Furmage 47 and his two sons Chris 24 and Corey 20 who still ride out of Apple Valley ca, He started his team Super Style II in 1979, he was an Original Vans member in 1982. The bmx world call them the first family of Freestyle BMX. Keep up the good work!
