A historical collection of my old BMX photos and a few newer ones. No pictures exist from 1989 to 2006 because I stopped riding during that time. Many, many thanks to Dustin Smith for editing this together for me! The bikes are, in chronological order: 1982 Thruster Tri Power with Tange TRX forks, old Schwinn Stingray that I modified just for doing wheelies, 1983 first gen Haro Freestyler, 1984 Hutch Trickstar, that bike broke very quickly! 1985 Haro Master which was my last bike until I got a "new" 1985 Haro Master on Ebay, as seen in newer pics. Blue GT is a 1987 Performer. Pink bike is a 1988 GT Perfromer. I like the GTs alot, wish I would have bought one back in the 80s! I dont really collect these bikes, I just love riding them and doing the pre-1987 style of flatland! I feel like its a lost art!

  • So you've had a lot of bikes, which is best/strongest in your opinion? I love the video, it's really cool to see the 80s pictures! Thimbs up! :)

  • @SuperKONR I broke them all (except for the Stingray lol). The Haro seems to last the longest., Its weak spot was the seat tube/top tube junction. The Hutch and the Thruster broke at the headtube. I have not broke the GTs but I dont jump anymore. That is what is hard on bikes

  • Good ol banana seat bike-forgot all about them.

  • @rainbirdeleven They are the best bikes for ridin wheelies!

  • I love this video!! It never gets old.Very nostalgic!

  • @gnarlyharley71 I know dude, I still watch it nearly everyday and its my video lol! Its the song, its one of my favortie 80s tunes and it fits the video perfectly!
