haro82 We would always go to shows at Wooden Wheels in Newark, Delaware. Great memories.

@@joshstabler3438 wow no shit I did as well. I started out bmx and freestyle bikes and then moved on to skateboards

Jason Kassis I have a 1979 Schwinn phantom scrambler

Jason Kassis freaking awesome brother

So True, sadly we all age, i still have a keen interest in BMX and I'm now 48 lol

Schwins bmx bikes were junk no way I would get caught ride n on of those. The better option in those yrs was of course mongoose.

​@@G4RY1159Que lindo es sentirse asi , verdad ?

Ohh yes they were, especially the day glow colors like my day glow orange GT Pro Performer And colors many people probably wouldn't dare ride as a bike color like a pink Skyway St Styler I had for a few days before it got stolen, it was pink as a cupcake frosting color but I had GT components that were chrome and it rode so nice that it looks so cool and it got stolen three days after I put it together. I got a box of 1986-87 Freestylin' Magazines I still run through to see all those incredible looking bikes of many brands most of them all made here in the USA, like Huntington Beach California where G T 's were made back then.

What do you mean by "were"? They STILL look gorgeous!! lol

@@la5081 not compared to the 80s buddy

Things Were Soooo Much Simperler, and I "NEVER" Saw Myself Quitting, But in "86" I Found a 1971 Mach 1 to Fix-Up (Make Driveable) for it was Ready When I Got My License. I'm 49 Now and Haven't Been on a Bike in Approximately 32 Years, But BMX is Where I Met & Made Most of My Best Friends !!!! -- RACE INC. is Still 'My' Favorite Frame Out of All the Bikes I Had !!! - HAVE A GOOD DAY TO ALL PAST AND FUTURE "BMXERS !!! "

@@DarrenJShank I did the same thing in 1990 when I got my license thinking we would drive to the session places and the ramps sometimes when we did ramp riding And myself left bikes for awhile, had a pro raider hutch I would do a little street and ride with the buddy I used to ride bikes with since I was 4 mostly to chat. Now at 51 I got an electric bike, in E bike that looks so much like my 1989 Haro Master and it's great to jump as well as do errands and run around town. Spending most of my life as a gear jammer/truck driver like my dad was, as well as restoring A few cars with dad like his 53 chevy, a 1965 galaxy convertible, and he helped find a 1967 Cougar for me that I bought in 1994, and it gave me degenerative disk disease that kind of took B M X riding out of the equation a bit. Pretty cool story Darren, now they got remakes of these bikes and I might get me AGT Pro Performer like I started off with, a day glow orange 1986 last of the old frames before the down tube with that ugly S shape. Check out some of my BMX Restoration videos on my favorites, I can't believe I sold my Hutch Pro Raider & GT frame the other year but both guys restored them both like classic cars, the guy that bought my GT frame showed me a picture it brought me to tears.

Next time ya see him Ask him about getting his back 💩 on to pay for his free pants on his first czw tour

Yes, it's funny to see all those still pictures in magazines and then seeing them back then in Summer tours Seeing these tricks actually done, as well as in videos they would release. I was blessed to see many summer tours meet all GT Eddie, Martin & Josh White and a special treat was the bike shop PJ Cycle Center in Lake Mary Florida me and a buddy Frank rode for had a guy named Ron called asking if there is any place to go and session in town. Me and Frank laughed and looked at each other and said it's Ron Wilkerson. It was, with Brian Blyther & Dave Nourie. Seeing them when we got to the hotel was jaw dropping for two 15 year olds and Dave took the call & brought us was like 20 and ran the shop more or less we rode for. Ron Wilkerson was my overall favorite because I was doing overall flat land and ramp, terrible ramp actually just mostly getting a bit of air and doing short ramp Enough to get the first place overall trophy one time. And to be riding in downtown Orlando sitting next to Ron Wilkerson on my Haro as well as his, Doing tricks like riding with buddies it was incredible and my first time I met a celebrity type thing.

brad clematis social media and more laws happened

Yeah he definitely was a beast I remember seeing the first riding Dizz Hicks did on a video and it was so fast how we got into those upside down flat land tricks and seeing him do kick turn ramp stuff was inspiring but I could never do it off the pedals. Honestly he was one of the few riders that also influenced me and friends to ride coaster brake after awhile before free coaster came out. I always rode coaster for my remaining freestyle days especially when we went brake less during the riding trick phase of mid 1988. I understand how you identified with Ceppie because I looked more like Him with long bangs but bleached like Ron Wilkerson had, I was into the Punk Rock/Hard Core music of the late 70's & 80's. Like when me and my friends went to the AFA Masters in 1988 in Florida and seeing Pete Disgustin" Augustine riding was a treat! He was rolling backwards over every pro in the practice area LOL with a mission it looked like. Compared to Pete, watching Dennis McCoy and RL Osborn doing their routines was A night and day difference, I loved seeing tricks strung together and I did that myself, and as smooth and very fluent as Dennis and RL were, was awesome!

I think my buddy Corey had the exact same purple and White CW. I think that was called a pro Styler.

You mean Eddie Fiola..

getting ready to break the ice!

Oh yes

@@swiftcee266 Oh yeah.... Whatever happened to Freestyler Terry Jenkins?

Yeah the short ramp was Dizz's MAJOR specialty, and when I started doing it I didn't realize how difficult it was to do it off the pedals. His other specialty was those incredible upside down tricks I also loved to emulate back then. I had to cut a skyway axle peg in half on my right on the front rim to have something to grab when the bike was upside down, I probably went through two seats a year doing that stuff but it was really fun and in contest it would get people's attention for sure.

Dizz Caught some massive airs! I knew he rode ramp but he was REAL good.

dude, the Team Murray knock off, I live in Pittsburgh and had the Steel City colored bike too! I had to have cracked 10 trolex trackmaster rims.. hahaha, cant believe I remember that stuff...

It sounds like "I got that feeling" by two tons o' fun

Hit that perfect beat by bronski beat

Yeah, well this was some 35 years ago too...keep that in mind.

They pushed the limits of what was thought possible, which paved the way for all the great stuff that followed.

Dizz had more style than Dennis will ever have. You can't teach style. And thats why flatland today is boring.

Yeah and his feet hit the ground 20 times every round. Style, yes. Precision, not even close. I'll take McCoy and Eddie Fiola over these chumps any day.

....and in 2018 he does a 900 at xgames. dmc is a vampire super hero!

In 86 Gary Pollak was making Fiola and McCoy look like chumps.

McCoy is from another world, way ahead of his time.

The same way you do with your phone in your hand and up your ass all day long. Lol
