I'm 55 remember those days going to look at them , had to piece a bike together , change out upgrades webco, mongóose , to a Schwinn comp ,cook bros. , Alloys and aluminum with everything else for lightness .
Im right there with you Bro my family was to Poor as well✅I was born 1977 in South Central Los Angeles California As a Kid I would go travel 35-minutes down the road to Santa Ana Orange County California Disneyland to watch the Old School 80’s GT Freestyle BMX show’s❤️man I miss those Days✅
@Brandon Duhon, I know the feeling of all my friends owning GTs and Mongooses and us not having enough money to fork out 600 bucks for one of these. Eventually my dad found a way to get me a decent bike but we still couldn't afford the GT Pro Performer so I ended up getting a General which itself was a great bike. Only to have it stolen a year later. I still haven't gotten over that :O(
Those GT's literally brought me back to the early/mid 90's when I was a kid. I would go to the bike shops and want so many of the bikes. The nostalgia!
Love it. I can still remember the day my mom bought me my first bike, a 1990 Jr interceptor my first pair of wings, she was a beaut. Thanks for sharing.
My sister and I had 2 matching BMX bikes hers was a smaller one because she was younger. I remember the pads were checkered white and blue on one and red and blue on the other. You brought back so many memories.
Summer of ‘85 I mowed many many lawns to earn enough money to buy my 1985 Predator Qualifier. I was so excited to upgrade my old beat to hell Huffy lol. God did I love that damn Predator. Blue with white mags and blue tires, it was sharp. Wish I still had that damn bike 😔
HOLY SH!T!! You just brought out all the memories of the bikes me and my friends had!! BMX, Mongoose frames, WINNING!! Thanks for posting this, PLEASE keep them ALL in the man cave! 🥳👍🏾😎🤟🏾😆
I had that EXACT Schwinn Predator. I lived in queens NY and I kept it in my parents dining room! Yes they let me. I swapped out all the Black on it for Blue. My friend had one and he made his RED. So I had blue tires with black mags. Blue Mushroom grips and Blue California Lite pads. Goosneck seat pole and blue Viscount seat...Blue Pegs...man that bike was awesome
Man I wish i could go back and tell myself to hoard all my cool 80's stuff....dammit lol. Thanks man, brings back alot of good memories. Great collection!
My youth was an amazing this is a blast from the past!! I had a goose, red line, and a quadangle! Stayed away from the Ripper didn't want a trip to the welding yard every week!! Nice collection
Thanks for collecting these childhood memories! Just turned 44 and had the '83 5 year old version and two redlines, the white in '85 and a chrome with red an black decals Not sure.
Super nice collection . reminds me of going to the bike shop as a kid just to drool.got a GT and a GT dyno That have sat around for years. Gonna fix em up a little along with several others. Gotta get my Takara road bike going and start ridding again . getting old and flabby..
Extra nice collection you have there. In 1984 I used to race a JMC Racing at Westlake in Indiana. Bike got stolen end of racing. 2 years later, traded a crappy drumset for a Haro Freestyler. By that time, I was driving a car. Didn't have that for long. Sold it...Both were awesome bikes. Would like to see you aquire a JMC. The Vans trick team used those for awhile
My god this brings back so many memories. I think I had a Ross Piranha back in the 80s. All those Mongoose man... Crazy how now they are the "walmart bike"
Man you brought a tear to my eye on that schwinn predator.. I got one for Christmas and literally had it for a couple of hours before it got stolen at my local arcade.. my friend had a lime green diamond back that he gave me as a replacement though...🤣😂😂still wasn't as good as that damn pradator that my mother saved up all year to get.. 300-500 bucks was a lot back then.
I feel you. I had one in Queens NY and got jumped for it taking it to Green Acres Mall. I was able to get away but was really pissed. I worked in the mall and used to ride my bike there
Heck ya old school baby!!🤙couldn’t afford these bikes but I ripped harder than any of my friends with the good bikes.now I ride my Dj P3,DJ Felt,P3 slope.I’m very satisfied. Bike Life
I had a couple Diamondback when I was younger always loved my bikes. I would take they apart paint them het centerline mags. If I was a lot smaller I would still ride. Me and my friend did so BMX racing only a couple years. Then I got my license and started taking cars apart. The 80's were great.
Memory lane. Started with Huffy Pro Thunder, then Moto mag Mongoose, GT, ended with a PK. Today I’m 50+ and for grins, picked up a 29” Big Ripper, Travis Barker model. Long live Rompin Stompin Stu, Harry Leary, Greg Hill, Mike Buff, RL Oz, Andy Hill, the Vans trick team, and the SE Bus driven by Scott B. RIP, Scott.
If I had to pick one to ride home with....errrrmmm.. I love the gooses but I'd take a GT either one..probably the mach..or the Hutch lol...errrrrrrrr...SO MUCH CANDY!!😍😍
Just refurbished my 1977 20”DG Racer w/ DG Forks , Shimano Dura Ace 44T Crank and ⚙️ Sprockets, Dia Compe BullDog rear brakes. FMF Handlebar, Pro Neck, Araya & Ukai Rims, GT Hubs , AME Grips, GT LaybAck SEATPOST WITH AN ELINA super light seat.
Commenting from San Diego California, Ocean Beach San Diego California to be exact. And it’s unbelievable how beautiful your collection is. it brings me back to the days of my skyway mags on my GT and my diamondback silver streak. However my favorite bike was my Torker! Your channel is amazing keep the concert coming in if I can find some video to send you from the days of riding in Mission Beach El Cajon Santee La Mesa Clairemont I’ll do my best. 🤘
One for each day of the week till I was pushing daisies. I couldn't just let them sit there just begging me to hit the asphalt or dirt track. I remember scraping pegs across half pipes and grabbing frame flying out of concrete drain culverts on more than a handful of these bikes. Just cause you use it, doesn't mean you abuse it. Bodacious bike collection nonetheless :)
Aahhh memories!!! I had a black bmx gt as a kid and had no idea what I had. When I repainted it I went over the stickers. I thought my older cousin was gonna kill me. Lol good times
So jealous, I had an '83 Redline 500a, from the early 90's for 10ish years until it got nicked. I'm 43 but I'd ride it everywhere if I still had it! Wow!
Lots of vintage parts! But no mention of the “epitome of funkiness” grips as rated by BMX Plus! Mag, the Oakley 3 grips! I saw a couple pairs in there. One blue and one white, I think. I had the yellow ones. Sadly, I had a cheap Huffy that weighed probably 30 pounds or better so I was always trying to get the cool parts. Araya rims, SR pedals, DK stem, Comp 3 tires, Dia Comp brakes. It was a struggle to get that bike decent. Thanks for bringing back some memories. Quick question; who remembers those quirky Quad Angle racing bikes?
Wow... This brings back so many memories! So much info on stuff I had forgotten about. I had a Webco and loved it! Saved every penny I could and spent it on my bike! Lol Never raced, but was all about trails, jumps and wheelies! I didn’t see any JMC’s, Cooks Bros., or Race in your collection.The bike I always wanted wanted was a RedLine Proline. I had the white forks though on my Webco. Don’t remember much about Webco...someone said they were made by Cooks Bros.? Anyway, I enjoyed this video! Thanks!
Nice collection man👍🏻 I had a huffy for my first bike (parents didn’t have a lot of money back in the 70’s) then later in the late eighties a friend in high school sold me an awesome bike he had (needed parts for his 78 v8 camaro😂) which was a beautiful chrome frame skyway with all the best parts on it and of course had to ride it to school one day and proof it was gone first period😢 missed it every day since…especially when my dad’s insurance cut us a check for $750 back in 1988 that was a lot of money!
Always liked SR head set. First bmx i had was a team murray 1982was yellow and black. then few years later got a torker 280x sent from the usa £180 for just the frame & forks. Nice bike.
I always wanted a Skyway T/A, chrome frame, white tuff wheels. A friend had a Torker, another had the VDC Changa and another the PK Ripper. Great times riding around the skate parks.
I had a baby blue diamondback viper with white tires that I used to love. Later I got a newer chrome one with black GT star rims,but I would really like to have a baby blue one again.
Back in the mid 80's I had an MCS Spider, with Alloy rims, three piece cranks, KKT Pedals, and more stuff that my old ass doesn't remember. Cool collection my friend! 😎
I loved bmx years ago but never rode seriously, just a fan. I had a Dyno and that’s when Redline and Mongoose were popular, good bikes. Started on a Schwinn (?)
That's a cool collection, the words 'Dia Compe MX' took me back, I had a basic Ammaco back in the day. I have a set of original 'Odyssey type' grips (as you called them). They are in yellow and have the Mongoose logo on the ends.
I bought a green 87 Diamondback Hotstreak completely original at a garage sale almost ten years ago. I paid $20 for it. Tried to tell the people what they had, but they didn't care. They bought it brand new for there son, but said he never road it. Anyway, nice collection.
I use to have 4 frames those mongoose bikes just tossed around my yard had alot of old bikes haros, dynos, redlines, gts, mosh, but we moved and I just took everything to the scrap metal yard .. all I have left is a chrome dyno comp that my dad got around 98
Sweet collection. Man I used have a couple of those bikes, I was fortunate enough to have a few frames and forks and wheels etc. when I was a teenager. I would build different bikes often and do different things with em I had a flatland bike, one I used for vert and another I would use for racing or dirt jumps. It brings me back, man I loved those bikes. I have a 26 Haro and a 20 Redline there new school bikes, but I enjoy them.
I was too poor to own one of these , I’m 44 so I know every bike . The Diamond back with the white mags ...... that was my holy grail bike ....
That Redline and Hutch ...SCHWING!
I'm 55 remember those days going to look at them , had to piece a bike together , change out upgrades webco, mongóose , to a Schwinn comp ,cook bros. , Alloys and aluminum with everything else for lightness .

I still haven't gotten over that :O(
I am amazed. This was like flipping the pages of old magazines. What an incredible collection!
Totally agree
Specialy the sticker of Motomag Magazine on the bike...
I'm 35 but man I remember and love some of these. Very cool collection.
My Lord how many memories, incredible time machine collector!! Congratulations!! Love it!
I wish I still had my early 80’s Redline 600a with tuff wheel 2’s with all the goodies. Cha-Ching! 💰
The motomags were built like nothing else. Still look good 100 years later!
Those GT's literally brought me back to the early/mid 90's when I was a kid. I would go to the bike shops and want so many of the bikes. The nostalgia!
I never had a great bike, but I remember salivating over these, as well as, JMC, Red Line, and Race Inc's. Fun time warp!
Theses bmx expensive my dude

This really takes me back. Thanks for the memories.
Man seeing those bikes brought back so many great memories. Thank you.
The 83’ motomag is fucking clean bro. I’m jealous!!😍
“You’re right honey I can only ride one at a time, I should get rid of them all but one.” Said no man ever.
Wow l haven't seen some of these in years. I was riding these back in late 70s and early 80s. Man these are awesome.
