Im 14 and i was at the junkyard and found a almost mint Dyno VFR it sweet i love it
Great old video. Gt was my 1st sponcer and did alot for me. I changed sponcers a few times in the 80s .I did so for personal gain. This was a day i got 2nd pro .Was about my 3rd contest ever. Life was and is good. I still have a passion for riding today. my you-tube account is rickallison100. thanks to most of you guys so much for all the cool comments n for posting this video of our history in freestyle. you guys rock.
ps ,i had just ridden from San Francisco to huntington beach for this contest. When interviewed the reason i was so pumped up ,and said i would be #1 was cause i was the total underdog. Names like Eddie Fiola ,Martin Aparijo ,Dave Nourie, and on and on were just so awesome of riders. So here i was ,trying to prove myself in an industry run by my idols. So i think now,ya if i didnt know me, id say sounded a bit full of myself. but to be honest, it was a great day and i did ok in the sport from that day on. If i got last today id be proud . I love our sport. Just wanted to clear the air. When opertunity knocks.you can sit and be quiet or stand up for your riding skills as i did here n rock it. thx
Wow.... i guess you were pumped up and stressed at the same time. Adrenaline makes you talk like that at times.... 👍 good stuff!
Haters gonna hate you the man
We all were young.
Back in the days of the true pioneers of this sport.
rick was the man!!
bmx beat summer holidays in the 80s QUALITY.
Im 41 and getting back into it, but I don't think that there will be any respect from most of the punk kids now a days. They don't even know how it all started, or probably don't care. I'll be riding for the love of the sport...again, the way it should be.
I'm 20 and just got a se wildman I'm new to BMX just need a crankset so a couple of guys create BMX sport ?
I got back in to it at 40. Soon to be 52 and still riding. Hope you're still riding youngster. 🍻
It's a shame there isn't this kind of sportsmanship anymore! None of the press seem to want to show guys who arent afraid of telling how they want to be number 1! It's 'i'm just grateful to be here' and 'this is a wonderful oppertunity' bullshit about encouraging kids and stuff nowadays! This is competitive! This is encouraging rivalry! This is how sports should be! 5 stars!
Liked BMX flatland... show 💕
I'm 37 & back on a chrome GT performer for the 1st time since 1990! You should also check out Josh Marsele's video (AXLEPEG BMX FLATLAND).
Some kids out there need a heritage lesson - we gave this to you, shake our hands & say Thank You!
Fatkaw10: I am with you. People riding today don't have the perspective of the 80's.. The Berlin wall was still standing, the Soviet Union was still intact and communist and the U.S. was on an upward economic roll.
At school people wore pink polos with collars up and 100 dollar jeans. Think about that when minimum wage was 3.35 an hour. It was all about success and being "in". Freestyle was a reflection of that mentality. It was all about being more outrageous and more over the top.
I would melt on a five day ride these days.
Rick is alive and kicking. Any of his old friends who are looking for him can post a message here so he can contact you.
They must REALY bring back mac rims!!!!
talk about a throwback name. Wow Rick was old school.
Rick..whats the story?...u said GT was the only team for u...what happened that u ended up on Mongoose? just curious.
kool footage btw. i really only know Rick from the Mongoose days so this was actually an eye opener for me.
RIDE ON!
Budz Wingren I told the,story . i was super greatful to Gt n all the riders for allowing me to shine n get my start on there awesome team. but I was the no body from sf. so many great names. so I felt to be seen or recognized I needed to break free to my mentors n sore on my own. nothing but love for Gt
@BOBYandEMO111 old school is WAY better than new school. the geometry is way better and overall its more comfortable. Plus they look cooler and have more style
this video is pretty old stuff. i was like 7 or something. hes probably like mid 40s now.

2021
Today's BMX bikes, although light and strong really look crap compared to say a classic Skyway, Mongoose, or Redline from the early 80s.
yep, in the mid 80's rick rode for mongoose, he wasnt such a big name, but was still well known enough.
@billy72a, I think you are right, Ron use to have a band too sometime back a few years ago.
Back when you could wear a rainbow GT hat without people thinking your gay. Confident guy
i may be wrong, but was rick allison part of too hip trick team with ron wilkerson?
i know ron rode gt's with someone else very early, like 84'
...i want his hat
@beauhallingse Ron rode with Rich Avella in 2hip. I think Rich went into music
@fatkaw10 Thanks i will check it out
#RADdude! :)
@letsgoflatland I grew up, raced, and rode ramps back then, but we didn't go fully into that style up here in Nor Cal.....and by 1988 the economy and BMX went flat.
anyone knows the name of the song at the beginning?
i got a gt bmx
@4JayeP
'm gonna be no. 1, no doubt.
:D
He was all right back then but a little too arrogant .
AGREED
i love the video and the old school bmx but, i strongly dislike rick allison.
Back in the days of the true pioneers of this sport.
