Nice to see those old school bmx bikes, it takes me right back to 1981 when I started racing! My first BMX had a coaster brake which soon had to be upgraded to a freewheel as it made it impossible to jump over the ramps!
I was in the same boat as you but I couldn’t convince my dad to upgrade my rims!! Racing with that setup was always a disaster. Thanks for the comment and for watching!!🤙🏼
That was so much fun. Amazing to just be walking around and there is Eddie Fiola, oh there is Bob Haro, what is that Stu Thomsen? Oh hey…there is Kev and Bernie!! It was my highlight to meet you guys that day and take a pic. LOL, now I can tell my kids I’m in a TH-cam video. Until next time brah!! Mahalo for what you do. Looking forward to more videos. Stay safe and healthy!! Just got my 24” Torker and she is 🍒 (as someone we know would say). 🤙🤙🤙
Thank you for sharing these great time of life. I'm so glad you went because I couldn't, so if it wasn't you two great peaple you put me where I would love to be thank you both
Great video Kev and Bernie, thanks for bringing us with y’all and I can’t wait for the interviews. What new parts and bikes y’all have set up for your future builds from just that trip in addition to the Haro, GTs ,& Hutch y’all already have in the works.
Great Pt.2,guys! Those are some beautiful bikes at the show. And those parts in the swap meet are drool worthy. Did you guys buy any parts? Those sidecars looked like fun. lol Can't wait for the interviews!
We didn’t although we thought about it! We actually had no room left in our suitcases. We did end up picking up some parts from Billet BMX and from Stacked and Frank’s Bikes after the show. The Gary Turner collab with Billet BMX parts are going on the GT! Thanks for the comment and for watching!! 🤙🏼
Nice video. I appreciate BMX collecting and restoring. community even more after watching this. I am a 90s racing pro, and I had restored a personal Robinson Pro XL, fully shining, looking NOS is you will. I just wanted to show my team mates and GT Nation the bike, Entering a content didn't dawn on me until a judge saw me riding around and gave me shit for not entering it. He said I would had been docked a point for my brakes but the bike would had won, he said. I don't know., lol.
Wow, thatʻs awesome man! Yeah, consider entering it next year! Just make sure those brakes are dialed in! It was really interesting talking to Byron about all of that stuff. I have a Skyway that we built that I want to enter here in Hawaii one of these days. Definitely gonna take his advice if I do! Appreciate you taking the time to comment and watch the video! 🤙🏻
So funny to have you guys at dirty fest you guys look like you guys were little kids in a candy store as always great content. Keep it up boys. See you soon.😂
Love this video. I'm still kicking myself for not attending Dirty Feast; I was only 2 hours away. I ended up not going because of the rain, I have seen this video properly 4 times and am still catching up on all the bikes you showed. Who would you recommend to follow to stay up on the latest shows or meets like a Dirty Feast? Thanks, you guys are FN rad.
Man, I don’t miss the banana forks. They never failed me thank goodness. My first bike was a orange and black Shuck’s deluxe banana seat and forks. Could wheelie that bike for days. Very cool seeing all those bike from my childhood. Thanks again for a rocking video. Cheers bros
You gotta get back on one of these bigger bikes too! You can do it! It’s just as much fun as it was back in the day. Thanks for the comment and for watching!! 🤙🏼
Sliding a foot and a half on your forehead over the handlebars at his age? Get a neck brace and a bottle of Ibuprofen. OUCH ! On a brighter note, I had completely forgotten about "Black Chrome" frames and forks. Damn those sure are sexy lookin' bikes. Sence the pink Hutch and yellow GT are spoken for, what new frame and fork set are you gonna use for a "Black Chrome Bougie Beauty"?😉 1
.. and omg whats going on with all the redlines ?? where are they?? i cant find anything redline anymore from the 80's. theyre turning into unicorns !! 😱
great edit bro!
Oh, very interesting and cool content guys.
Thanks man! Appreciate that a lot! Thanks for watching! 🤙🏻

Bernie HAS to built a true torch mongoose- must do.
Those power lite power bend bars seem popular
I have that profile seat clamp on my quadrangle but polished
I got snake bellies in my Bianchi Bmx and my daughter’s retro mongoose scooter came with snake bellies.
I remember those Hawks in the magazines
