@@imdbtruth ... Nothing wrong with teaching your kids what you learned back then. I taken my son to teach him as I rode until I was 36 years old and in a serious vehicle accident. Martin and Eddy even rides today but obviously they became rusty somewhere. At least they still go out and have fun and to me, that's what it's all about anyhow at least back then as pros did not make much money at all unlike anything in sports today. I rode for MCS before Billy and Kevin went to gt and the mcs team went under as Lynn Swoope was responsible for taking the mcs ramps around and at the time, Marlow and I was not at the gt qualifications in north Miami Beach when Martin , Brian Acura and Josh white was hosting the event.
I raced Bmx for GT in the 80s!! Sister raced for ZERONINE!! Bmx was my life from 1979 to 2014!! Got crohns and had to quit racing!!! Life was Gnarly!!!
Great video. I still have my all original '88 Pro Performer. Blue w/ white mags, fold-down fork stands, Skyway axle pegs...got it for my 13th birthday. Still ride it in NYC sometimes, get stopped all the time, people want to take pics with it.
I rode in the expert class of the afa events in 86-89 then started the pro class in 89-90 in Florida riding for MCS for 2 years before the team seperated going their own ways between GT, Six flags and 2 stayed with mcs but it never taken off again unfortunatly. I miss riding back then and seeing some of these videos bring back a ton of memories. I prefer the old flatland freestyle and sponsorships in comparison to the more recent freestyle still today but nobody can deny that the sport has indeed became much more advanced as other sports have but a good reason is the winnings is worth increasing ones skills unlike back then also. A lot more time must be spent to train to keep up.
Outstanding video! I miss the mid 80s contest actually. It is outstand to see some footage of Mike Dominquiz also when he rode for diamondback. I have not heard anything about him in so long but he was one of my few favorite ramp riders back then. Has anyone heard any updates on him?

It's funny seeing these flatlanders wearing motorcycle helmets while doing ground tricks. These guys dressed like they were on Team NASA preparing for space travel. Maybe they took the name Skyway a little too serious. I love the 80's, such a fun and unique time.
Yep no shit I invented the miami hop hop version showed it to martin aparijo at a gt trick show tampa,fl broke 2 of my spokes on my tuff wheel and he wanted to know how i did that so i showed him
Back in the days when kids had no fear .kids these days have no clue how bad ass the 80's use to be .
I'm 57 years young, I still ride my BMX, love my 1981 Schwinn Sting
me to i am 53 and i love my GT.
@@rubennunez3654 I'm a huge fan of GT also, I have many of them
The last decade when America was America the 80s...
It's June of 2022...bring me back to the 80's
The 80s were the best.
Bring those days back, please! I want to raise my kids in the 80s, not this bullshit world they've created for us now!
You took the words right out my thoughts ..Agree whole heartedly!
yes yes we need a time machine. I wanna go back.
Are you really blaming the younger generation for the state the world is in? I feel bad for your kids.
@@abicol6010 Thanks for your input, Karen... but you've misconstrued my comment.

Everything was better back then

Oldschool Flatland much respect
I'm in this video...I'm a red dot in the crowd at the King of Vert contest halfway through.
Going on 31 years of age and hopefully I can live up to at least 55 and still ride bmx forever LIVES🤙

Nice video. Reminds me how awesome the 80s was. The "big deal" today is riding wheelies down the street and sticking your foot out.
90% of the tricks shown where just wheelies
@@randymarshprofessionalfarm5818 hardly
This is cool and all but new tricks are dope too.
@@randymarshprofessionalfarm5818 dude do u have eyes?
Thanks to SE for ruining the sport :)
i would have liked to have seen Eddie Fiola's moonwalk included in this video. Classic 80's trick
EPIC TRICK
Love it!! What's amazing is that a lot of the riders featured are still riding today!! 😀
'cause there' s thunder in my heart, every move is like a lightening..! Glory days.

Love the bmx vibe ✨
I don't think people could do flat land tricks like that today.
Awesome
Love it. Keep the Rad Days Rollin'...
Wow this is awesome.
4:23 whoa!
BMX forever 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Pro freestyle skills
The inventors!

Iphone of the 80's
@2:09, when did Olga Korbut start doing BMX?
Anyway, these are the best BMX stunts ive ever seen on youtube. Bravo.
Los bici voladores 😮❤😊
just my luck when i die is the day they will learn how to go back in time..lol..
i still like big front sprockets
Still running a 43 on my '88 GT Pro performer, and a 44 on my '21 Prospect Generation. Big sprockets rule!
There was that 80's movie with Nicole Kidman riding BMX with two other dudes.
BMX Bandits!

It was better than busting your head open, or multiple broken bones
@@markbooket6477 ... Exactly!
I know this movie BMX bandits
🙏🙏👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

if that happened now the kid would be crying on the floor. 0.29
Nice intro song sounds like Survivor? LOL
Prontos para evoluir em tudo e principalmente no ato do amor para com próximo
As palavras podem difundir a paz entre a humanidade como sementes jogadas ao campo alguma germinara e dará fruto
Cru Jones is the best of all time.
Pengalaman saya saat main sepeda 😅😅
Cru Jones was the shit !!!!!
2:59 Is it just me, or blood came out of this guy's head when he fell?
I think it’s just you... although I do wonder what it could be. Maybe your right
Looks like his chinstrap broke on impact.Funny how they always fake not being hurt even when you just landed on your neck from 14 feet.
A humanidade pode muito mais na promoção da paz respeito e fraternidade não é sonho é uma realidade que temos que alcançar
My fake memories
Sure, they like their wheelies, but now days a backflip is a pretty basic trick. Check out the stuff they been doing the last 20 years. It’s nuts
Imagine riding all day with your bro and cool girl friend and then you go home and she lets you dp her
This is like ballet on a bike not my bmx
This song was terrible in the 80's and still is.
Gay
This is an upload about bmx in the 80s NOT the hiv aids crisis… you said you gay, no one cares… go else where for your aids nostalgia.
