Rick Moliterno Flatland Run AFA Finals 1988

[Strat0Blues]

Check out DMCs run he Kicked ass

[flatpat]

The best part of watching these old AFA runs was when anybody got into a backwards infinity roll they had approximately a 0-1% chance off pulling it off.

i like how every one use to ride flatland to huge half pipes, didn't matter..

[novak458]

for 88 flatland it looks pretty good! All the components were there to put together some nice combos, but back then it was just simple and fun..

[cypressride]

bad ass

[rapstrangler]

Does any one have video of Ron's slam at 88 finals?

[SONOFABITCH]

@rapstrangler blood thirsty?

[steveleamont]

This guy is still impressive to watch.. in his day this was unreal!

[Dboy148]

This guy was one of the best. He killed on the ramps too. He did a Summer tour with Haro in 89 that included Dennis McCoy and Joe Johnson. Johnson was really the only guy that could hang the huge airs with Dominguez in the pre-Hoffman era. That was a great tour.

Wow, as original as those tricks are, its still amazing to see them done.

[texrainger]

hey 666tubeamp...I still have my RL20II...chromed out with the stickers still on it. i had some forks custom made cuz the originals broke. the original fork has the long tube. i still ride it once in a while. im rust as hell. RL Osborne was good too but Rick killed this run.

[666tubeamp]

@texrainger I'd love to see that bike!

[interkoold]

Man I still wish I could've learned the 'rolaid.' Rolling decades always looked bad-a!

[interkoold]

This was when riding started to look more

flowing. Damn check out how he got out of that foward ropa! I remember sneaking into a half-built office park building and using the new concrete floor to learn ropa's while it was raining outside...memories.

[rockkaa666]

wow good run !!!!!

[gamster68]

danyarger Standard and Rick don't make millions these people are pioneers of modern riding and parts , don't be bitter if you have a valid case just sue,but the front load stem was Rick Wagners idea i was there buddy.Just enjoy the riding life's too short.

[666tubeamp]

Great rider; great bike. Nothing beats the late 80's Haro Master or the Redline RL20II. What sweet rides they were.

If someone ever invents a time machine, I'll be the first in line to go back to 1986 and re-live my freestyle years.

[dfhohj]

kuwahara or haro ?

[dreamworldstudios]

haro

[danyarger]

Rick Moliterno used my drawings for the front load stem that Standard and many BMX manufacturers now sell and never paid me any money for it. Now they are making millions of of my idea. Goes to show you what kind of people these guys are.

[SONOFABITCH]

@danyarger "millions" LOL

[gamster68]

Molierno rules to this day an innovator,pioneer and he paved the way for mini ramp riding.SBC NO 1

[jrpolanco]

rick was underrated,waited,and his company took the 90's over,so its all fair!he rocked it here,but out of all the vids of this comp huddleston looks more polished.

[1KCjoker]

Great rider and he stuck that run.

[dstrong999]

Wicked!

[bedlambikes]

This most under-rated rider from the 1980's BY FAR. Molinterno and Jones were better than all the pros.

[dennyd71]

rick had a bit of a shakey start but did some real contest bangers in the last 90 seconds. rad stuff.
