Trust me. I hung out with him when he toured with the Gail Webb show on their stop in Fresno. And was riding those wheels then. Besides, bicycle wheels are measured by their outside diameter with the tire not the wheel diameter. 20x1 3/8`s.
You sure those are'nt 22s? I heard Eddie rode a lot of hybrid bikes. 22s theoretically would generate more momentum and still be small enough to control.
You know, I loved Skyway and so did a lot of people. We used to have a bunch of kids who rode TA frames and did flatland on them in town. Little weird but it happened. We all wanted StreetBeat frames though for the longest time until the Haro Masters and Sport Team models in 88 came out. After that everyone had them for years until Standard and other companies came on the scene.
Eddie is responsible for the first time I got laid. Long story. He was my hero back in the day and I worked hard to master a lot of his tricks. Chics loved it. Thank God for Jr. Highschool. Thanks Eddie for the memories!
one of the greatest runs ever by eddie fiola or anyone else for that matter....i was there underneath the highest air pole and will never forgett this run...
If so, take it back, I have been riding since 84. I just bought (because I wanted one) a near mint haro team master from 1988, best freestyle bike ever made. I have wrecked more GT product than you have, and got tired of wasting my money on bent everything (frames, forks, bars, seat posts, you name it, if it had a GT stamped into it, I have broken it or mangled it). That's why I say GT sucked/sucks. Yeah, I have broken a few haro frames. But GT prod. just melted
dude if you've been riding since 84 and you broke your frame or bent it on a GT or HARO. then stop leaven your bike on the street. i've had my bike for years and pound the crap out of it and my kid is doin the same. so, quiet run'n over it.
If you knew anything you would know that the GTs were plauged by several bending and cracking problems. The forks were terrible. I would twist those to shit doing smith decades. The pro performers and also has bottom bracket problems tearing away from the rear triangle. That and tearing the head tube off clean if you jumped it significantly. It wasn't that hard. I gave up on GT crap in 1989 after bending a set of bars riding street in a contest after a wall ride.
The stuff was crap. the only thing GT ever made that was half decent was the bock stem. That's it. Haros would crack sure, but I never ripped one in half and I beat the hell out of those bikes riding flat, ramp, street and dirt.
I had one of the first Bully's - weird green and black with the florescent plastic bash guard cover. Strange geometry. Snapped it in month, welded it and it was fine frame wise but got rid of it though after permanently bending the stem inside the forks requiring me to cut them off to get them out. Made in china!
great performance,in 85,that was tuff shit,this guy actually inspired me to ride,one time i met him,josh and martin,and they complimented my riding,and that made it all click.One question,how on earth did those goggles stay in place?
This Is The Man anyone growing up during the 80's knows who this guy is...When I think BMX I think ofEddie Fiola, such raw talent. Oh well if anyone knowshow to get ahold of him hit me bacc ohk. Peace

The first run is the exact same footage GT used in the 1987 GT Demo Tape. Great watching it with the original sound.
