Eddie Fiola and Martin Aparijo put on an improvised freestyle show before the "Get a Clue" ride through Long Beach at the 40 years of BMX Cyclebration on 11/13/10. Video by Marc Dewey, stills by Andy Dewey.
the most important thing about these guys are they were the OG's of this sport layed all the ground work for anyone and their level of trickery today, back then the 80's it was comparable if Eddie blasted a 6 or 7 foot air at the pipe line as if someone pulled a quad back flip at pastranas place today it was all next level so be thankful for these guys and the passion they have for this sport and life style we call BMX freestyle
you all probably dont care at all but does anyone know a method to log back into an Instagram account?? I was dumb lost my password. I appreciate any help you can offer me
@Kareem Callum I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site thru google and Im waiting for the hacking stuff atm. Seems to take quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
I was a Gen X BMX kid of the '80s, these guys are legends.... No internet, so i couldn't wait for the latest edition of BMX plus to come in the mail and see what new tricks these guys where doing.
The Chairman and The King - throwing down!!! We grew up in an amazing time - HBO would air RAD every couple of days and we would wait through the whole movie to see these Bad-Ass dudes during the end credits. When we finally got a VCR we could rewind and watch them over and over again.... that was the original TH-cam and these guys were the stars!!!
Absolute legends. Fiola's tricks are so basic, but they way they are preformed they are loaded with style and really stand out over Martin's more technical tricks. Love these guys.
Thats incredible to see these "older guys" out there busting it. They havent missed a step in all these years. I always was a HUGE fan of Eddies...Great ridding guys!
man i worshipped these two guys back in the days of Rad and BMX Plus magazine lol. i think i was about 13 or 14. i've moved on to mountain biking but i still love to watch the old freestylers!
i used to live and breath this stuff back then.i took on two jobs so i could afford a car and still pay for my bikes.i'm in my mid 40's and still like to bust a move now and then.i still have a haro master,hutch trick star and skyway t/a!
Back in the 80s where I lived, we could watch any of the competitions, if they were even televised back then. I saw a lot of Eddie Fiola's vert pics in magazines, but damn he's a good flatlander! I love the moonwalking!
with all of the "old School" bike stuff getting attention these days, its nice to see the attention placed on what some of the riders who actually made it everything that it was are doing now... and that they still farken' rip!
Nice riding guys. Our dad Crazy Lacy you both know, always taught us that flat land shows what you got. A rider can't flatland, he's not much of a rider, Stay Furm !!
First time I saw a trickstar I had to have one and a few years later had a few co-sponsors. Long live freestyle. Ground gets no love at all now days. Had pics of Itson on my wall
This is awesome to see! Thanks for posting. Was that Woody jumping in at the end! These guys got me into Freestyle from the very 1st time I saw the trailer to rad and all the top guys were doing flatland in the fog! Thank you!
I was doing many of these tricks back in the early 80s on my Schwinn sting. then my bike got stolen and I went off to college. That was the end of having fun in my life...

I always liked Martin from the time I got too know him as I practiced with his other team mate Billy Swoope for many years day after day doing shows with him though we had different sponcerships after Billy went too GT from MCS. Martin spent a lot of time in practice with us and he is a amazing guy. I respected him way more than Eddie. But one thing I must compliment Eddie on having is using a hutch trickstar in this video. Though I never was sponcered by hutch regretfully, They are my favorite bikes of all times and unfortunatly I was forced to leave mine back in Colorado Springs ughh. Now of days, just a frame and fork is expensive as hell.
@@dereckc9469 .. it does not look like Woody and I did not even know he rode at this show either. I wished I still had my trickstar from back then. But I did not realize that was Woody at all, thanks for clearifing.

Thank you so much you really help me out!
These guys are still insane and frickin' good.
Yeah!!!!!!! Better than in any of the millennium Asians countries today.
Man.. All I can say is these guys are STILL RAD! Love it!

This is probably the greatest freestyle duo in BMX history
A W E S O M E ! I remember meeting them at a GT BMX show in 87. They are my heroes. We idolized their abilities.
The old school GT guys were rock stars back in the mid 80s. They were the "Bones Brigade" of BMX.
My idols in 80's God save Eddie and Martin!! Old School BMX and FREE STYLE forever!! 🥇🥇🤙🤙👏👏👏
One of the best videos I’ve seen on TH-cam. Thanks. Back when BMX was still just about fun. Not trying to be cool and impress people.
The Chairman and The King - throwing down!!! We grew up in an amazing time - HBO would air RAD every couple of days and we would wait through the whole movie to see these Bad-Ass dudes during the end credits. When we finally got a VCR we could rewind and watch them over and over again.... that was the original TH-cam and these guys were the stars!!!
The glory days. Awesome memories.
Yes!!!! Love to see the fellas who broke ground and set the bar still killing it!!!!
Still smooth and fluid, no dabs!
I can't believe he's still at it, being able to maneuver that bike like it's another of his limbs. The best!!!!
History never dies long live old school ride on eddie woody martin
Damn these guys can still move!! These guys were my idols when I was 10!!!!!
Thanks for putting this up.
The great Aparejo and Fiola...puttin' in work still!
Absolute legends. Fiola's tricks are so basic, but they way they are preformed they are loaded with style and really stand out over Martin's more technical tricks. Love these guys.
I never pictured Eddie Fiola being so good at flatland! 'Least not, back in the day.
Epic video, I idolized these guys growing up, especially Martin. Still riding at age 38 and restored my GT to brand new! :)
This was 14 years ago but these two are still doing this today.
Vintage...especially Martin doing the same routine as back in 1987. Awesome!
Eddie was such a stand up guy, true Legend!
Crazy how 34 years lather there still amazing lol
Eddie at 2:40 that is possibly the sickest trick i gave ever seen new or old its like a power slide 540 or something
Goes to show everybody that age changes nothing. You can be 40 yrs old and still do what you did when you were 17. Great job guys, the kings of GT....
looks like these guys are even better now, than they were in the 80s
In some aspects they are crisper but u can tell their bodies are not as agile as in the 80s
So nice of the crowd to give them a 15x15 to do their thing. That's how you know these dudes are good ...they say no room no prob!!!
Thats incredible to see these "older guys" out there busting it. They havent missed a step in all these years. I always was a HUGE fan of Eddies...Great ridding guys!
2:46 When you are so good at 360's you no longer have to leave the floor...
Class🤣🤣🤘🤘🤘 the king eddie rocks
This goes down every Tuesday.
More than 20 years later and then still riding BMX like pros ,,,respect guys
Aww, my favorite freestyler in the 80s The Chairman!
man i worshipped these two guys back in the days of Rad and BMX Plus magazine lol. i think i was about 13 or 14. i've moved on to mountain biking but i still love to watch the old freestylers!
Legends of bmx
So good man... fucking smooth and polished just like BITD! RAD AF!
2:40 What happened to my eyes... That is NOT Bart Taylor... Well, let's see what he can do!
GT -R send me an angel...🤣
I will have to say the happiest time in my life other than my family was RAD learning all the tricks and trying to be the best Dennis mcoy
Old school BMX freestyle flatland bicycle tricks are worth relishing and plenty of fond memories nonetheless
i used to live and breath this stuff back then.i took on two jobs so i could afford a car and still pay for my bikes.i'm in my mid 40's and still like to bust a move now and then.i still have a haro master,hutch trick star and skyway t/a!
This is awesome. Martin and Eddie were on point that day...lets not forget when this was filmed they were what...47 - 50yrs old?...Rad for sure.
Back in the 80s where I lived, we could watch any of the competitions, if they were even televised back then. I saw a lot of Eddie Fiola's vert pics in magazines, but damn he's a good flatlander! I love the moonwalking!
Legends
AWESOME 👍
Awesome, these guys still look really crisp after all these years!
How cool. They still got it!
I loved tease guys when i was a kid. I can see they can still rip. Awesome vid

Hell yea you guys still rock!
Impressive for over 40 yrs
Eddie is on BMX Museum from time to time
Legends 🚲
I used idolized these when I started riding!!

Still killing it!
with all of the "old School" bike stuff getting attention these days, its nice to see the attention placed on what some of the riders who actually made it everything that it was are doing now... and that they still farken' rip!
These guys were freestyle before there even was freestyle...
Nice riding guys. Our dad Crazy Lacy you both know, always taught us that flat land shows what you got. A rider can't flatland, he's not much of a rider, Stay Furm !!
That was freakin Awesome!
Still my heroes!

First time I saw a trickstar I had to have one and a few years later had a few co-sponsors. Long live freestyle. Ground gets no love at all now days. Had pics of Itson on my wall
2.40-2.50 ... 'kin sick!
Lit Lit And Lit!
Its good to see the 2 old heads doing flatland. it needs to come back.Martin Aparijo, Dizzy, RL Osborne were the ones i would i copy their styles.
still sporting the Vans shoes :)
This was freestyle..... flatland tricks today are absolutely acrobatic and enough to put Anyone in traction for a good six months
This is awesome to see! Thanks for posting. Was that Woody jumping in at the end! These guys got me into Freestyle from the very 1st time I saw the trailer to rad and all the top guys were doing flatland in the fog! Thank you!
Not a single cherrypicker?!

Hey What's Good Guys Sick Tricks

I remember these guys. Dennis mcoy, Dave hoffman. The good old days
I was doing many of these tricks back in the early 80s on my Schwinn sting. then my bike got stolen and I went off to college. That was the end of having fun in my life...
Teen Idolz
Just dub send me an angel over this...
lol Martin in drag rode Lori Laughlin's part in the gymnasium scene
11 years ago where are they now
I had to do a double take when I saw that Trickstar come rollin' in there. Woody was a bonus.
Martin allways a motivator
omg was that the pioneer, the icon, the legend, the wow Bobby Brown there in the crowd? 😂😂😂😂
Didn’t know Eddie rode flat like that. NICE!!!
I dig the editing, nice "pop out" with the stills.
