    Hey 👋 Shawn !
    I love the new skyway 👌
    I m turning 50 this year and let me tell you every time I watch one of your videos is like going back in time a few decades and makes me feel inspired to build bikes and stay young for ever I even trying to go back and try to do some flat land tricks like I used to do in the past 😊😊
    Thanks for been so inspiring ❤RBMXB peace ✌️

    Who didn't want a T/A? I new a guy who was sponsored by Skyway back in the late 80's, and by far the best colour combination was a white frame with black tuffs with gold hubs. Great build you did.

    Gawd! I had a T/A when I was a teenager, but had 1.5 inch Araya spoked rims (SR sealed hubs), Tubular cranks, and Vector/Haro bars. And it had blue tires, seat, and AME grips, with white Skyway pads.
    This makes me wanna buy another, SOOOO badly.

    Absolutely sick man. I could only dream of a Skyway when I was a boy. I have a new 24 TA that I’m about to build up. Have some new Graphites to go on it as well. Just need to choose the colour of the components. I have a suede Kashimax Aero to go in it as well.

    Looks killer, love that chain with the blue and the gum wall tires and the AME grips for the cool contrast they add.
    With as much effort that Skyway put into that release I don't think the purchasers of that bike would've complained about an extra $30.00 to "$40.00 to get genuine AME grips and gum wall tires and a front brake in the same color as the rear.

    Very nice build. I ordered one of these in chrome/blue. Love it but the braking could use improvement. I'm 50 and weigh 185. Can you please reccommend a brake pad with better grip/ braking force? Willing to change out the Dia Comp MX-1000 also if there are better options.

  • @VenturaIT
    @VenturaIT ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Fun, are you going to ride it? Is it a real race frame or a replica? I don't really remember anyone in my neighborhood having a Skyway, but I kind of remember them, maybe from a magazine or something. Definately awesome, the only downside is it seems more like a replica like those cheap Mongoose Motomags whoever puts out. The old frames and parts still look so much better than the new ones, I just can't help but think that BMX could be huge again if it was done right, whatever is going on now with the official BMX doesn't do anything for me, but the old school stuff is still great.

    I got that seat from PlanetBMX and was really disappointed it was just the standard cheap seat you can get anywhere else for like $25. Cheap skyway label and some guts and they charged me $45. Was described as a Skyway Aero seat. Ripoff.

    Got the exact same bike in same color way. Was so shocked to get fake AME grips on a bike that is quite highly speced out. I mean real ame's or mushrooms are like $10 ish so why nickel and dime over something so trivial. Other than that a great deal. Couldn't build it yourself for anything close to the price they were on sale for. Did you get the polished silver sprocket from Aus or usa?
