Any old School BMX People Here?

[bordin34]

I saw a thread on old school bmx stuff on moparts and was curious if anybody here was into them. Myself I have a 1987 Dyno D-tour that I am riding and fixing up.

wow!! memories!! yea i was a huge bmx freak back in the day!!! i used to race a chrome supergoose frame w/ redline forks, GT bars, and Z rims! then all the freestyle trick stuff started!! lol

Niiice.  I always liked the GT Performers back in the day.  '87 was a good year with the bright blue & pink paint shades.

yea my buddy had a lavender PK RIPPER... man we busted his chops.. but it was a hot expen$ive bike back then!!! lol

[chargerboy69]

Yep.  I raced in the mid-west area back in the mid to late 80's.  Had a bout half a dozen Hutch bikes back then.

Trying to get my hands on a Hutch cruiser now.  I just can not bring myself to spend the kind of money people are wanting for them.  Would not mind a GT or Predator cruiser either.

A freiend of mine had a PK and that was the most badass bike I think I have ever road.  Another friend was always gone in the summer racing all over the place.

I got my first BMX about 1980? raced for quite a few years then got into Flatland BMX (late 80's) rode until 99 thinking about making some kind of comeback (go ahead laugh  ) anyway, I owned...2 mongoose's, 4 Haro's? 2? GT's a Dyno Pro compe (90) Hutch Trick Star, a Torker which i rode for 2 days then threw away, a Standard Shorty and a Morales were the last bike's I owned I'm sure there were others I can't remember...

The Skyway is one of the nicest you will ever see! (its for sale) Yo! I've had over 300 20" 80's BMXers. Everything you can imagine.. I raced semi-pro dowhill and 4x mtn bikes for many many years. Then I started digging lines for the 26" steel hard-tail. But now I send it on a '08 CRF 450r, and have some "interesting" passes on my 450x.... check it:

Ever see those 40+ year old guys wearing a wife-beater tank top while riding BMX bike down the wrong side of the road with a cigarette hanging out of his mouth? Don't do that.

[mikesbbody]

No, I don't smoke and I'd drive to my riding spot  btw that Skyway TA ia awesome! always wanted one but never owned one.

Niiice.  I always liked the GT Performers back in the day.  '87 was a good year with the bright blue & pink paint shades. 

   I had a GT blue Pro Performer with nearly all GT products hanging off it, cept the Skyway mags. I forget the company name but it had blue tires a similiar shade to the frame also. Some girl gave me flack about my small sprocket so I got some monster sized on for it. Sucked on longer trips but you got moving right now, just like bigger gears in a car.

We got a million of 'em around here.

BMX 'old school'? Is there such a thing? Heh. I must seem like Methuselah to some.

*This* is old school.

I guess I'll bring this one back to the front page to see if there's still any interest in the old BMX.

I just pretty much finished restoring a mid 90's Mongoose Solution Pro race bike, not a bike of much value but was fun to build and came out with great results. Spent more on it then the bike is really worth but oh well - It's still a nice bike and rides like new.

Ideally I'd like a Skyway T/A but that's some serious money...  

[XS29L9Bxxxxxx]

Every now and then I break out my old BMX bike and ride... Quite a lot of fun, still. Last bike I bought, was a Haro Group 1 RS1 set and was the fastest bike, or maybe I was the fastest rider  Those were the days

Yep, we got'em here.  It's caused by too many dui's.  In those cases we refer to their bikes as loser cruisers.

That was my life as a kid until I got into mini bikes and small motorcycles.   

Wrenching every day...... 

Started out with a Schwinn 36/36, mag wheels, alloy handlebars, neck, seat stud... you name it!

Hi. Well i still have some of my bmx bikes when i was a kid. When i was in my teens i got into dirt bikes and raced motocross up to my 30's. I have restored some of my bmx bikes and still ride the bigger cruisers. I go to a couple of bmx shows each year. And meet lots of great people every year.

Back in late 70's early 80's I started off with a Panda (Charger, what else), a Powerlite (prob my fave), a PK Ripper (weird frame), a DG monoshock briefly, and later. a Patterson....my buddies rode GT's, Hutches, Redlines, Mongoose, Cook Bros. We used to get pretty (ahem) gnarley, radical and all that in my day, I remember one jump over my friends moms MG...
