- I traveled to Taipei with Mike Devitt of SE Racing to get ready for the Taiwan Bicycle Show and this video was produced by the Dodson Factory to show what Freestyle BMX was to the factories.
So Rad! I love the pose and the one Taiwanese girl clapping right after, what a cool experience Taipei must've been in the 80s! I also, TOTALY want that awesome SE golf shirt that guy is wearing now too...Thanks Fred!
My gf was 3 years old and also in Taipei when this was filmed, cool to see the world she grew up in captured like this. And always love to see mag wheels in action. Too bad there was never a way to top a spoked wheel- I wonder how many kids got into BMX in the 80s boom just because those bikes looked so cool
Awesome stuff! Back when they filmed RADtv. I remember you doing a decade in a mini golf course, and I literally learned that trick watching you over and over during that show. The commentator even said you give it that break dance look. Never forget it! Nice to see you again so many years later. What a treat! Thanks for this vintage goodness!
I remember religiously watching a video tape with him biking around the city with other guys, old school snowboarding, and half pipe skating. Wish I still had it!
Being a old school BMXer. Love the old school SE Bikes. Still have a SE Racing jersey. Had a Quadangle & PK Ripper both set up as freestyle bikes. Both with Standing Gear forks, SE Power Wing bars, Red line Flight cranks. Skyway Graphites on Quad & ACS Z rims on PK. And all the bolt on freestyle bits you could buy.
Though this snippet of lost footage of Fred Blood is wonderful!!!!!!.... Great stuff!!
Mr Fred Blood Esquire!!... There's a name for you. A blast from the past!!!! Though just how really credible was he as a freestyle rider???
Another great video!!Love watching the old tapes and how to videos.Not to mention great story's of your bmx carrier.I always kept you in the back of my mind.Every time I pull out the general I think of Fred.My favorite oldschool rider.
Cool Fred! I didn't know you did BMX as well. I remember you rollerskating in the Gale Webb demos and competing in vert CASL contests, that my brothers and I also skated in Gales demos and many contests.
Funny to see the engineers at the end, trying to figure out the gyro. Great riding there Freddy. This is a historical video, needs to be preserved. Thanks for posting this!
May 7th 1985.. that's my birthday! I turned 6!
I don't know what's better in this video - the tricks or the chicks! I hope you had fun (off camera)..
Can only imagine how cool it must have been for you as a young guy, travelling and doing shows, thanks for sharing 🙏🏼

A legend! In 85 we wanted to be Fred! Still riding my 85 expert, that I tricked out for freestyle. I had to work with what I had. Great vid!☝️
Your tricks are absolutely flawless and smooth. Unbelievable control.
Cool stuff, The Ladies Love Fred, Thanks for sharing Fred

This video is so rad! Thanks for sharing Fred. I love the part at the end when the engineers were studying the rotor design. What chainwheel & crank were on the SE?
Incredible history you are sharing with us Fred. Keep it coming! Clarence
Blood you had more influence on skateboarding than most skaters and you didnt even skate lol !! McGill got the 540 from watching you and then pulling it off at delmar !! Changed everyhing !!! Thanks man if nobody every told u thats pretty badass !!!

Great classic footage, and love that you have a Proformer. What is your serial number, Fred?
I seen you ride in Houston Texas at a AFA comp, I think 1986. I remember seeing you do mega spins and backside walk arounds
That's awesome bro... seems like yesterday. Glad you didn't get shot at ha
Ah the good ole 80s...before we got everything from China we got it from Taiwan. It seemed like everything said made in Taiwan! Good times!!
Whatever happened with your old Quadangle? Still have it?
So Rad

So that's the beginning of the fall of bmx manufacturing in America years later same country and the fall of mtb manufacturing 😂
