There's just something about these 1980's bikes that is way way sexier than bikes of today. I don't know exactly what it is but it definitely is.......miss those days too of course. ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
You're right. It seems like each manufacturer had their own unique frame design. You can strip the decals off any 1980s frame and still be able to tell who made it. Looptails, bends, double bends, twin top tubes, square tubes, extra support tubes, gussets, etc. Then you add the over the top paint hues, wild decals, standing platforms, pegs, mags, and layback seat posts. The 1980s had it all.
1985, I was 11 years old, with an all white GT Performer, white mags, white pegs, white break shoes... Doing Miami Grasshoppers, table tops, can can's off of launch ramps...!!! Love this sh.. I lived half a block away from a Redline sponsored freestyler at the time... I feeling an urge to watch RAD now... Lol!
I was a huge fan of elf , titan, free agent, silver streak , robinson, and trickstars from those days. raced an elf back in the early 90's and loved it. state champ back to back
Back In The 80s A Kid I Knew Had A Diamond Back It Was Super Light , I Think It Was The Nickel Frame , I Remember It So Well That Was One Of The Baddest Bike I Had Ever Ridden, It Was Cool Of Him To Let Me Run That Bike As Fast As I Could, I'm 55 Now But I've Never Forgotten That BikeTill This Day.
I had a diamond back when I was a kid. I didn't know what I had. It was my favorite bike of all though. Kept it for years and never knew it's worth. I think my mom found it at a garage sale
I still have my Mongoose with the Moto Mags, all original, down to the stickers, blue tires , tubes, seats, only thing missing are they pads for the goose neck, cross bar and those super sticky blue grips.
My favourite BMX bike was the MONGOOSE PRO CLASS.I had a SUPERGOOSE, but so wanted a PRO CLASS in BLACK,but couldn’t afford one.I just hope they rerelease it like they did with the SUPERGOOSE & CALIFORNIA a year or so back.Those rereleased bikes sold out,so hopefully the PRO CLASS will get rereleased in the next year or so.
I had a gorgeous white Hutch Trick Star when I was 10 in 1985. It took months for it to get built, this was the version with the short pegs on the forks and had the frame standers. Skyway bars, Tuffs, Gyro, mushroom grips, Redline cranks, Tuf Neck, laid back seat, bear trap pedals...just beautiful. I had it only a couple of months before it was ripped off. Still hurts to this day.
some of these bikes I never seen before,,, I thought I seen an all but not even close . I was born 74 and grew up riding quality and yet I ain't seen half these bikes growing up. Amazing competition
Also a couple of these bikes you will only ever see in Michigan in fact I jumped and rode a couple of these bikes in this posting. Who saw the magnesium god if I remember right
Hey just bought my DJ PK Ripper this month they are an awesome shop! Shout out to Albe's and the awesome customer service in this tough challenging time. Salute!
Awesome show piece. Gotta say the blue Hutch leaves me speechless at how much detail they put into that bike . The tiny blue rivets tying the spokes to the hub rim Wao
Raced the chrome moly Mongoose locally in 78/79, then someone broke into our garage, the Only thing they stole was the bike, this vid brings back Great memorys, Thanks.
not bad, Guy's if your in need of 80's BMX stuff, hit up this great shop on facebook called "80's BMXShop. They been shipping world wide since 2009 & have the cheapest price's in the world on this Old school BMX stuff. Used,NOS,they also $buy/$sell,Trade year round too,so hit them up!
I surprised my nephew a few months ago told him I had his old mongoose bmx California from 85 in my garage they moved 20plus years ago was going to leave th in a barn I took them to keep for them they never knew it boy was he happy to get it back. Said had good memories of ridding it back then.
It sure was. I was 14 and could only afford the FST. Same colour scheme It took me nine months to save the money. The Masters and Sports were basically double the price here in Australia. I got the group 1 in the 90s with the bent top tube. That was also a good ride.
Once owned a JMC , "Darrell young" in white ,,,it also had a "BROWNING" 2 spd shifter setup!! Don't see many of those around!! I used to watch darrell race in the 80's , at canby Oregon bmx ,,or the lumberjack nationals,,alongside Stu Thompson,,Gary Ellis,,Greg hill!!! Just to name a few!!! Great vid....👍
Mind telling me where? I’m from metro Detroit. These bikes are awesome. I had a 1984 CW Z3000, decked out with redline 401 cranks. Z rims, uni seat, what a bike. It got stolen in August 86 and I never got over it. I bought a GT, but I never had the interest after I lost that bike. Now as a middle aged man, I find myself wanting to rebuild the bike I lost.
Two best bikes I had was the Hutch Hollywood Mike Miranda and an Elf. I use to fly on the Elf. The Elf was so hooked up it was ridiculous!!!! Bear Traps on Redline Fights, DK Mini Neck bolted to Powerlite Bent Grip Bars with Ame Grips, GT Hubs spoked to Ukai 1.25 Rims with IRC tires, Uni Turbo Seat (don,t remember the seat clamp brand)
It’s great to see the Diamond Back at 1:25. The 90 plus DB are often left out of the collections. The DB were very popular in Tennessee during the 90s.
I can't believe all of the retro 80's & 90's bmx & freestyle bikes that I loved & in some cases owned over my 40 yrs ALL had top of line 3 piece cranks. I was certain mine were all 1 piece that came already severely bent for my convenience.
Back when I was a kid I had a foiler it was gold frame anodized blue each and every other color it was stolen of course so I ended up getting a race Incorporated and did the exact opposite color scheme with it I remember it being round a little over 15 pounds
Albes used to have old skateboard decks not reissues the real deal. I bought a Micke Alba, Duane Peters, Mike Smith and an old first model Lance Mountain. This was around 1991-92. My full timer back then was a Powell Mike Schmidt and a Lucero Designs Shark. All my boards were vert since I fucked it up in pools and half pipes. I'm 50 now! And recently went to a cool park in Austin that actually has a bowl deeper than 3ft!! Edit: does anyone remember Scott the skater who worked there?
Just my opinion but I had every color in the f series haro bikes . I owned every color in the mid 2000s models . I still have all of my f series too . I’ve got the chocolate , my mustard yellow . All black frame. I have the silver frame . I also have the red f series frame with the yellow splash in the logo . The f series mid 2000s haro models were by far the best vintage bmx bikes in my opinion . I’m not into the gt bmxs. They look to homie for me . I like the classic off road bmx bikes . Haro is the best of all bmxs!!!!!! Great video though !!! It’s nice to see so many bmx bikes in one huge room haha
These bikes were not cheap by no means. I remember putting a Hutch Trick Star on layaway in 1985 for 459.00. It seemed like forever to pay it off with a paper route.
$1185.00 in today's money adjusted for inflation. I had $1200.00 into a hoffman condor in 94 myself. Buying my same frame back last summer from the same kid I sold it to in 96.....I got $4k into it now. Lol.
@@thomasnikkola5600 I may have to get it back together. Prices on parts are quite crazy though. Oakley 3's are out of the question and Hutch beartraps too. It had Akai rims with Bullseye hubs with a 16 tooth ring. I think snake belly tires by Schwinn. I do have the pricier parts already though. Chrome IS mandatory.
Man... Seen my old Hutch! Fuck..it got stolen in front of a 7 Eleven in Midland, Texas! Went on a rampage after that. In the 80's and you had a nice bike? You had to watch it like a hawk!!!
Does anyone know anything about"quickline" bikes that were built in lake elsinore ca back in the 80's? Recently scored on one and havnt been able to find much on them other than who built them and where. Its got GT wheels, cooks cranks and possibly crupie peddles and odyssey bar clamp and breaks on it.
Anybody remember S&M Holmes. I always wanted one of them cause it has my first and middle initial and my full last name Holmes. Gonna end up doxing myself🤓
I'm looking for a 1988 Haro Invert frame and GT knee saver bars the small low cut ones and a set of GT drop forks from like 1990 erra. Know any places to look to buy
I've still got my scars. Pretty sure I was the first person to do a front flip and ride out of it. I ran into a log going down a steep hill in long grass. It flipped me so I hung on and grabbed the rear brake. The pros didn't land a front flip until a decade later.

A LOT more sexier....the fascination for us came from the beauty of the bikes prmarily....and secondary from the tricks

It's chrome & annodizing and polished aluminium instead of painting everthing.
Probably the quality
They have a soul & style that the new bikes just can't match.
Brings back so many memories when me and my friends would ride bikes... got to love the old school.....

Very cool bike! Check out my 1996 Group 1 Ti on my channel, about to restore it.

Damn I wish I still had my Savage Freestyle from around 86... all chrome with blue tires and blue accents also double bar handle bar, gooseneck seat.

Daniel Eidet I can relate. I spent 2 years building up a CW Z300 for it to get swiped. Hurt so bad I could never get into bikes again.

Great Memories Of My Childhood 🔥
Your avatar brings back great memories of my kidnapping and hostage situation down in Madamoros😳🤐
Plenty of beauties, that's for dam sure! I was really digging that Patterson and lite blue Zeronine.. Badass bikes everyhere! WOW!
Brings back so many memories. I'm glad I held on to some of the classics. Auburn 2 piece frame with Z-rims. A elf double cross. And a few others.

So many cool bikes. Thank you
1980s bmx for life and don't 🤕
Beautiful free style bike love the 89s n 90s
That 1988 Haro Master at the start that’s a dream bike right there.
It sure was. I was 14 and could only afford the FST. Same colour scheme It took me nine months to save the money. The Masters and Sports were basically double the price here in Australia.

The Redline R L 20 is the cream of the crop !
Makes me want to watch Rad
Redline and the Skyway Streetbeat
if the xgames existed in the 80s it would've been huge
Some great bikes a few that I have ridden & quite a lot that had mythical status when growing up
It’s great to see the Diamond Back at 1:25. The 90 plus DB are often left out of the collections. The DB were very popular in Tennessee during the 90s.
I had a 1985 pink Haro sport. Wish I still had it. In two days I’m going to pick up a mint 2016 DMC Haro master.
so many memories......

love it would dream of having something resembling this up here in Saskatoon.
I still have my RL-20 Redline frame from 1986.
Best bike ever made !
Dope vid , BMX life
Awesome bikes my first was a 85 Dyno but I miss my 92 Auburn with works link rear end
I have the green one in my basement now!!!
There's a lot of money in that room. Those bikes are worth a fortune now.
I have a 87 GT performer...want a Mongoose Californian now :)
You can get a lot of money out of those.
Absolute sick bikes
Just my opinion but I had every color in the f series haro bikes . I owned every color in the mid 2000s models . I still have all of my f series too . I’ve got the chocolate , my mustard yellow .

30:53 There she is.
Yellow redline is insane
Was going to say no Kuwahara? and there it was at the end, all is well!
I had a Kuwahara in the late 80s!!! All chrome with white pads
Bmx legend
Still have my Stu Thomsen. All that's left is frame, bars, Tuff Neck and Flites.. I think it is an 81.
I had a 81 MX3 Redlines are still the Cadillac of BMX! I upgraded to Flights too! Chrome was mandatory!

Love those maxi pada.
Isn't that a woman's feminine product?
no mid-80's Performers and World Tours??
Old school the beast. Bikes
I bought my king frame from albes . . . . Still have it 👍
Makes me wonder if I raced any of these bikes or people at Endless Summer...
Hard to believe some ACS wheels are in attendance.
I worked at a bike shop with the son of the owner.
I owned a Mongoose, Dyno, Redline and my favorite the GT Mach l
Redline will beat them all
Some real nice carpet queenies there.
I had the florescent green haro freestyle with white 48 yo's, group 1 neck and white master crank ...I wish I stitt had it!😥
Are those gold pedals for Mirra?
Can't believe you had a "Foiler" there
Man... Seen my old Hutch! Fuck..it got stolen in front of a 7 Eleven in Midland, Texas! Went on a rampage after that. In the 80's and you had a nice bike? You had to watch it like a hawk!!!
Technically the 1969 Columbia muscle bike is a BMX but I didn't see it in here. I found mine in a field, had to fix it up a bit but its a great bike.
I still have my 1983 Redline 600C which I converted to a freestyle bike.
Hutch trickstar2, pk ripper, redline, rampar...and Zmags..quail grips..
Melvin Mell hutch pro racer is in my opinion is better
No GT Dyno??....haha one of the very last bikes!.....nice!
They were two separate brands at one point.
at 9:57 this lilac one looks so nice 🔥🥺
THESE WERE BEST ID RATHER MY OLD SCHOOL THIS BEAST FCK MISS THAN NEW CRAP TODAY. GT PERFOMER PK ECT ❤️❤️🖥🖥👌👌👌👌
Looking for that Quadrangle all chromed out
The blue ACS Z-rims though. I had them in white.
Damn child hood dreams all over again.
I had the yellow kastan kex mini w/1 fork...... looking at them now, they seem sketchy but definitely fast
Do they sell the bikes there?
That Lamborghini yellow or whatever color on the Redline is Bad Ass.
Bear traps on flight cranks Hell yes
Is this show still going on?
The best.
Oakley 3 omg

Surprised that there are so many black tired bikes. I expected way more variety in colors (plastic rims and tire color combo's). Still awesome though!
Can't buy these at Wal-Mart 😁
Definitely!
Every retro bike there was no less $1000 maybe more.
They tried though...lmaooo remember the Huffy Sigma
@@TheSupremeDunk Huffy Sigma is worth a few dollars these days..corny when they first came out though lol

Was hoping to see a Harry Leary Turbo
Any of these bikes for sale
12:14 Kastan 😍😍😍

I've still got my scars.
Pretty sure I was the first person to do a front flip and ride out of it. I ran into a log going down a steep hill in long grass. It flipped me so I hung on and grabbed the rear brake.
The pros didn't land a front flip until a decade later.
