Great list. I have that exact GT in the #1 spot., got it for Xmas in 1988. All original with the fold down pegs, rear stands…. I ride it around my neighborhood in NYC sometimes. I’ll never get rid of it.
Looking back and watching the old school videos, the Street Beat still looks fresh to me. I liked that it didnt have pegs or standers welded on the frame. YOu could trick it out to your liking,. Add a gyro and boom awesome bike.
Me too..I was born that year but the stuff was still around..and nikes were the culture back then..rad.the BMX movie and the dirtbike kid were vhs tapes I rented across the street so much Bob Chang the owner would let me keep em longer and was very kind.they were great days... I was a kid but he was a Chinese guy who fixed tvs and vcr and would always say he'd trade for stix...a Marijuana stix..lol.ask u flendz if you can fund Stix..thank u came again boy lol.🫡
Decade Pro just missed the list. The Kuwahara Bravo was top of the line so it nudged the magician/ Ozone came in at the tail end and could have made the list also. Dyno pro compe was popular also/
My brother had the GT Pro Freestyle Tour in the Dayglo Pink. He loved that bike and may even still have it. He was big into flatland tricks, but he did some dirt jumping and some air stuff as well. He and Pop constructed a quarter-pipe in our back yard, His buddy had a full half-pipe with auxiliary ramps in his yard. Thanks for the trip down memory lane.
Wassup man, I enjoyed the trip down memory lane. I liked the freestyle bikes from the 80s as well. They weren't about just how they were built, but the loud cotton candy colors that got the ladies attention as well. Then, just had to show them you knew what you were doing with the bike. Madd Respect.-- Justilian Nathaniel Marshall
I rode your number one!!!! I swapped Cranks and handlebars though. I put the Red Line 3 piece flight cranks on it and rocked the Haro knee Saver handlebars. Mine was olive green. after I painted it over!!! Was the Pink when I bought it. My Uncle has a car body shop to this day and I did it in his auto paint shop.
Wow this brings back some old memories 🙄 I had a red mongoose with skyway tuffs those were the days ridding to all the different 7/11's and playing the different video games in Pensacola fl. 1984 days 😅 I liked the thrusters and racing inc.the most thanks for making this it's appreciated
I just finished up an 87 bravo pro,,it the best riding 80s bmx bike I've ever owned. The geometry on the bike is perfect and so are the looks of the bike.
I had a few from this list: 1985 Redline RL 20 in radberry (not quite the RL 20ii, but geometry was similar) 1986 Haro Sport in blue 1987 GT Pro Freestyle Tour in white, then in black 1988 Diamond Back Strike Zone Woody Itson in red and white The RL 20 was too tall for me with the 5 inch head tube and Forklifter stem. I really should have gotten it or the RL 20ii later after I grew a bit more. The Sport fit me much better but the head tube angle was a little too laid back for me as mostly a flatlander. I should have went went the green Master instead. The Woody Itson felt great but the freecoaster made the back end really heavy. Always meant to switch to a freewheel so I could make it my daily rider. The GT PFT was the best all around bike for me. I felt like I could do anything on that bike. 😁
Awesome comment!! The 86 Blue sport I had was a bit too laid back for me as a kid also. The Green Master would have been a better choice at the time. I got my PFT after selling my Sport so it all worked out. You had some of the best bikes growing up. My best friend had a Black PFT and it was amazing. It's crazy and cool to be able to have these re issues bikes! How many you up to now Chris?
@@kidwilson3357 Yeah, it is cool! I wish I'd known about them just a few years earlier so I could have built a 1986 Vintage Master. I saw one on eBay earlier this year that was built just like the magazine ad and it was epic. I'm up to 6 now, 2 race, and 4 freestyle. 😇😇
1. The Trick Star and the RL 22 should have been much higher ranked. They were like the Holy Grail of bikes. 2. No love for the SE Racing Quadangle? I think Fred Blood rode that bike. 3. When I think of lavender, I think Dizz Hicks on his CW Racing California. Dude reminded me of Dee Snyder of Twisted Sister and was all over BMX Plus and BMX Action magazines. That's another bike not on the list. 4. ... and GOD!!!! I'm old. ha ha.
I had the sport and the master at different stages. A mate had the day glo pink GT. We loved them. And as always we wish we still had them. And we all agree that this was the best time of our lives. I'm 56 this year.
Great video and some SOLID picks. Couldn't agree more on #1. For me, the coral master with a pair of 48's is a thing of beauty and a close second to the PFT.
what a great trip down memory lane for us gen x ers... I had so many over the years -- haro, gt, redline, dk, torker, skyway, se quad, pk ripper, hutch, dyno, ... I was fortunate enough on many occassions to ride with some of the best freestyle riders of the day back then. RL Osborne. Matt Hoffman and others. As I remember how us Gen Xrs grew up -- I can't believe how GOOD we truly had it. If I had known my old would be worth so much now -- I would have tried to save some of them. As they say - what is old is new and what is new is old... It is a total shame though that so many of the best brands of the 80s and 90s have become so diluted and have been replaced by other brands I have never heard of ... Corporate money is hard to pass up I guess -- sad really.
Completely agree with your number 1 pick. I had an '87 pro freestyle tour team model except it was chrome and black. The only thing I changed on it was the rims. I didn't like the gt ones, changed them out fo araya 48's.
I would've went with the 86 Diamondback Strike Zone over the 87, I really like the hot pink graphics on the 86, besides it's my holy grail and I had one when I was a kid
Hutch is releasing a Chrome 20" Trick Star with modern geometry for pre order on May 3rd I believe. Check out the website and or the bmx museum forums. Thanks for the comment
I had an 85 yellow GT Pro performer great flyer but sold it got a 86 pink Hutch Trickstar way better flatland then the GT but my favorite and best all around the 86 Haro Freestyle
I had day glow pink pro Freestyle Tour but never adored it like the pro World Tour I had prior....but performance-wise I liked the Haro Master the most
Great video, stunning bikes all of them! Why would you choose the GT pro freestyle tour over the GT pro performer? Is it only for aesthetic reasons or functionality as well?
No Mongoose Decade!? Rode that thing for all of the 80s, looked nearly identical to your #2 (aqua blue with the white mag wheels) but that thing took a heluva beating.
I had a Kuwahara Bravo in Neon Pink. It was stolen. Then got a Dyno. Got ragged on by "friends" because it wasn't a GT. That was until the guy with the Torker rode up. ha ha. His bike had the cheezy ACS rims that bent like a taco the second you did a Miami Hopper. Man, the stupid crap we judged ourselves by. -> Amee grips over ODI, Skyway mags, Gyro over ACS, 3-piece cranks over 1-piece. You were lame if you used a spare set of brake levers to support you while doing a bar ride/stand. Oh, and God forbid if you rode up with coaster brakes. ha ha.
I had a bike that looked like the sky zone. I can't remember the name brand of it. Also, it had a place on the frame right up under that seat and on the handlebars that you could surf on it. Wish I could remember. I am 51 and I would go buy one today
The RL20II honestly had weird Geo. It was really for a tall person ala RL. Also, It was a magazine bike to drool over more than to actually buy. I never saw anyone actually riding one and I lived in Europe and the States during the span of 1984 to 1988. I saw GT/Haro/Skyway/Mongoose/Hutch/Dyno/Kuwahara bikes but never a RL20. It would have been the ultra rich kids bike. I was on military bases so maybe that's why. Thanks for the comment
@@kidwilson3357Wow.. never heard anyone stereotype a bike before 😂 Think you're judging the Redline RL20ii from your taste and not from how great this bike was to actually own and ride.. I bought mine in 86 when I was 15 and it was an easy bike to do flatland tricks on and I was a whole 5' 7" tall. I owned a 84 Skyway T/A before (until it was stolen) and found the RL20ii more to my liking.. Still own the RL20ii along with my 93 GT Interceptor. Thanks for the content though..
@captaincreator7657 I never rode one.. Nobody ever had one... Looking at the Geo/ specs you can see it was a chopper and better for taller person. The Head tube angle was 73 degrees and seat tube angle at 65" degrees/ I think it had a 20.5 top tube as well. I could be wrong but compare that to some other bikes from that era and you will see its a bit long. imo. Im happy you like yours and still have it. I noticed you have the Skyway TA alos. The other rich kids bike lol. :)
Love your list! Personally, I liked the frame of the 86 Pro World Tour better than the 87 's S shaped down tube and curved rear seat stay tube. I still love it. But I think the 86 just looked better. But that's the beauty of it. We could all make a list and I'm sure all of these bikes would be in our list but maybe a little different position. For me, the pinnacle is the 86 Pro World Tour. Both the way it looks and the fact that they had to change their name midway through the year due to a copyright lawsuit. So, there isn't as many with that great name/decal. I also love the 86 Pro Freestyle Tour for the same reason. Not many in that name/year.
@@mosesdominguez1851 thats cool those bikes nice like the Performers ....right now i have a all chrome Diamondback bike but i want one of the new 26 inch Performers
Back in the day when mongoose ment something. not just a wal mart brand.. same as airwalk. cruising as a kid on my gt perfomer rocking chuck black chuck taylor's. ahhh thise were the day's..
Mongoose is actually making a comeback with decent quality I believe. I think Airwalk is just a name of the brand nowadays. They lease it out to different companies etc for special runs. They were Payless and then had a JC penny run but now they are back at Walmart.
Hope you read this because I have very limited info on the bike I’m about to mention. It was around ’86 or ‘87 and it was called a Jamis Laser Fastimes. My brother and I got one for Xmas one year. His was white with dayglo orange and black trim. Mine was white with pink and lime green trim. They were both fully decked out with rotors, front and back pegs….you name it, it was on it. They cost a little over $500 each and back then, that was about what the Haro Master was running. Only thing is, nobody else around us had one or had heard of them. Nobody that I knew was ever sponsored by them and I never saw them in any of the bike mags. I still have the frame, mags, front forks…..actually everything but the brake parts (levers, lines, calipers, etc.) I reckon my question is, have you ever heard of them and if so, would love to know anything you can tell me about them. Thanks.
In uk I had a chrome amaco freestyle pro with spokes and quick release Mx brakes which I never saw on ther bikes ,I didn't like skyway mags I always thought they were heavy for wheeling , before that I had a cheapo I think Raleigh BMX that had built in stunt pegs welded into the forks and welded foot bars on back frame with cheap orange mags that looked cool but the bearing tended to shoot out if you did anything
Now - If I could just figure out which company 'today' is the equivalent of those awesome brands we all grew up on ... I have a 7 yr old ... and I want to get him on a bike. Suggestions?
Believe it or not, there are many of yesteryear's brand's still around. Haro just ended a 10 year stint of Lineage bikes and they were/are amazing for us old timers. Odyssey/Sunday is still around and makes just about every kind of component you might need. Sunday is owned by Odyssey and they might have something in a smaller size frame. A brand I am riding now is NOUS. It's a japanese flatland company. There are some good companies out there for street,park and dirt trails. To be honest, I dont know what is offered for the kids these days. With a little research you might find there are a lot of options for both you and the little guy. The bmx museum website/forums has a lot of good info and good sales forum's as well. Im almost 99% into flatland old school riding but the Brands that I like are: Tree Bicycle Co Haro ( lineage offerings) Nous bmx Odyssey/Sunday/Flatware BSD Skyway for Tuffs S&M Armour Bikes Deco Dia Compe Peregrine HP Tires Ares IGI THree Stem OG Marton Handmade Bars ( best bars ever) St Martin
Yoo tengo una Bicicleta GT California Aniquelada Antigua Y negra y dé los Años 82 Si quedan bien pocas Yo voy a mandar arreglar la bicicleta GT California Aniquelada Antigua mía ok
Considered it, but would have been an honorable mention. I never got to ride one and the graphics were just not to the wow factor some other bikes had. Some say that Decade Pro was a great bike.
Profile prostyler is what I road I bought frame and fork. Not complete loved that bike. Rideablity was not great with the large frame standers would smack your ankle ever now and again.
I bet you don't no nothing about this one bike back in the days it was freestyle the name of the bike was black tiger it had black disc in the wheel the is frame is crome with flames 🔥 on the frame its a 80s to 90s 20inch freestyle bike that's a hard ass bike I been looking for it

Same here. I still have my 1987 GT pro freestyle tour from when I got it new. Great bike
Was always a fan of the the Haro Sport, was a Wilkerson fan as well.
I had that skyway street beat . It was great with my lavender pegs, and skyway ez bar. I miss those days of old…thanks for the moments of nostalgia

Back in the 80's my buddy had the bright orange/yellow Redline with white laced wheels, Best looking bike i think I ever saw.

In uk I had a chrome amaco freestyle pro with spokes and quick release Mx brakes which I never saw on ther bikes ,I didn't like skyway mags I always thought they were heavy for wheeling , before that I had a cheapo I think Raleigh BMX that had built in stunt pegs welded into the forks and welded foot bars on back frame with cheap orange mags that looked cool but the bearing tended to shoot out if you did anything
The quick release brakes were diacomp
I had the orange GT Pro Performer and I gave it away to some kids and I always regretted that
Dude... ;) it really was a sweet color and bike.
How do u tell the bikes from 80s and 90s
Now - If I could just figure out which company 'today' is the equivalent of those awesome brands we all grew up on ... I have a 7 yr old ... and I want to get him on a bike. Suggestions?
Believe it or not, there are many of yesteryear's brand's still around. Haro just ended a 10 year stint of Lineage bikes and they were/are amazing for us old timers. Odyssey/Sunday is still around and makes just about every kind of component you might need. Sunday is owned by Odyssey and they might have something in a smaller size frame. A brand I am riding now is NOUS. It's a japanese flatland company. There are some good companies out there for street,park and dirt trails. To be honest, I dont know what is offered for the kids these days. With a little research you might find there are a lot of options for both you and the little guy.
The bmx museum website/forums has a lot of good info and good sales forum's as well. Im almost 99% into flatland old school riding but the Brands that I like are:
Tree Bicycle Co
Haro ( lineage offerings)
Nous bmx
Odyssey/Sunday/Flatware
BSD
Skyway for Tuffs
S&M
Armour Bikes
Deco
Dia Compe
Peregrine HP Tires
Ares
IGI
THree Stem
OG Marton Handmade Bars ( best bars ever)
St Martin
Greatest bike ever is called Dyno Slammer 😎
Yea, except the Slammer is a 90's bike eh?
@@kidwilson3357 I know bro, was just saying , of all Time bro 👍😎
Freedom, freedom 2, and kent
Your No1 Bike has OGK rims, cheap knockoff's of Skyway Rims
Redline Proline or MXII with Araya Rims would be my No1
I wouldn't call OGK rims a cheap knock off. Peregrine, OGK and Skyway were all solid wheels if you wanted mags. Thanks for the comment.
How about the quadangle freestyle
I never saw one in the wild. Was never on my want list.
@@kidwilson3357 I had one in lavender and white
👈Best bike eevvver!
All good choices. But....#1 is Mongoose Decade in full chrome. (I put pink skyways on it. Matched the graphic.) Tits.
I never rode or saw a mongoose decade aside from magazines. Im told it was a great bike.
No PK Ripper?
I mostly saw people with dedicated freestyle bikes from 84-89. I saw a few Skyway T/A's sprinkled in but no PK.s
SE Quadangle?
I never saw anyone riding a quadangle in person. I was in Europe for most of the 80's so maybe they just were not around.
Raleigh 2500 ?
Never heard of it to be honest
I got GTs no 80s GTs tho I do got a 80s kuwahara Magician
NO POSERS!! 😂
Yoo tengo una Bicicleta GT California Aniquelada Antigua Y negra y dé los Años 82 Si quedan bien pocas Yo voy a mandar arreglar la bicicleta GT California Aniquelada Antigua mía ok
Wtf… Decade/Decade pro?
Considered it, but would have been an honorable mention. I never got to ride one and the graphics were just not to the wow factor some other bikes had. Some say that Decade Pro was a great bike.
Yep. Bike was sick.
Ill buy you three oakley because kes and ill give you two bloods sponser bikes ones mine tgeres inly one
Profile prostyler is what I road I bought frame and fork. Not complete loved that bike. Rideablity was not great with the large frame standers would smack your ankle ever now and again.
I can't say I have heard of that frame or model. I will have to look it up. Thanks for commenting!!
No GT World Tour or Dyno Comp!!??
Lame list. Lol
Dyno was never a fav of mine. I like Voelker's red Dyno but never wanted one
Mongoose decade pro
Ive never ridden one. They are def highly regarded by those who had one.
That Trick Star and Strikezone 😱 and Skyway and GT… this whole list. I love mags fuckin’ dope. That GT Pro too 🔥
I bet you don't no nothing about this one bike back in the days it was freestyle the name of the bike was black tiger it had black disc in the wheel the is frame is crome with flames 🔥 on the frame its a 80s to 90s 20inch freestyle bike that's a hard ass bike I been looking for it
Ive never seen one or heard of one. ;)
