I still remember riding with Steve Goates, who was also a rider for Ozone. I used to buy all of his used parts too - great guy. Then one day he moved away (from Arcadia, CA) and that was the last time I saw him. Wonder what he's up to these days.
I taught Gerry Smith everything he ever knew in freestyle.....my name is Ed Venglik and I rode with Gerry day in and day out. I was a year older than Gerry and Derek and new them both very well. I lived in Brandon, FL and I remember that Winn Dixie parking lot very well. Derek, Gery and I were the 3 best riders in FLorida.
Hey user "anyphuckingthing" i agree. Where in the hell is gerry smith and derek schott? Hey Gerry "Hold up wait a minute let me put some bass in it!" Gerry smith just faded from the freestyle scene in 89 and has vanished ever since, truly awsome rider. Ok Gerry if you ever read this please post back a comment. Would be nice to do a jam session at our age sometime, anyhow ozone was the number 1 underground team at the time. Does bert wiley ring a bell?, or team buckweat. Thanks for the vid!
WTF Pete Brandt? I used to hang out at the Clock Tower here in SF with a bunch of other riders, and his style in this video is still aparent today. I was only in 1st grade back in 1989 not even thinking about bmx. Seems like the whole flat scene at the Clock Tower has died down though. Good vid!
Awesome. Ozone was one of those companies like Bully that ushered in the new era of BMX. Chrome frames with minimal factory stickers. Great to see the San Fran dudes (Brandt + Emerson).
