I still can’t believe these guys own a bike shop, Matty a top tier bicycle mechanic, and they never have tubes or tires, nor tools to do a quick swap to keep the fun going. That said, love to see the mid school bikes.

That Mirra seat was something to die for when I was about 10. Took me forever to get one of those in the early 00's lol. Back when I use to cut my bars super short on my Standard 250, thing was a tank. Ahhh the good ole days.

Great to see you guy are riding my era of bikes and knowing how hard we had it with weight, but still did all the tricks we did. Aka Hoffman and Dennis McCoy. Ride like a man.💪

Really big fan of the Channel Scotty, but I'm an even bigger fan of your journey back into the sport. Giving us old school riders some encouragement that we're never too old to enjoy bmx😮😎

I like that bike! I rode an early 80's Mongoose in the early 80's. I ended up putting Skyways with a coaster brake on that bike. It's the bike I started freestyling on. Back then it was frame stands and riding down the hill backwards turning a 540 on the bottom of the hill and rock walks.

Loved this one! I'm 44, I was into freestyle/BMX in the early 90's and still watch some of the new school guys. It's cool to see how street and park competition has evolved... Those Haro knee saver handlebars were a must have back in the day! Been watching you guys and Anthony Panza a bit, fun to watch! I'd be interested to try out some of the new-school bikes, no brakes and all that... Maybe in one of those parks with the foam bricks and stuff to try it out and get used to! Those handlebars and the gyro for the brake lines bring back lotsa memories 😆

Try an 82 Kuwahara,Hutch, Racing Inc.,Cooks Bros or Redline. With Redline three piece cranks,which you could put on any bike and we did because they were the best with bullseye hubs and Z rims, mushroom grips and bear claw pedals,lol. The good ole days!!

Gotta get the curb weight on that! The 44 tooth sprocket and weird frame geometry really brings back memories.

Haha, this was pretty cool. Would love to see it tried on 80s era bike... a GT Performer, or Hutch , or PK Ripper.

I remember having a old Haro bike that was my first one. Had one piece cranks, a giant sprocket, and weighed 30-some pounds lol. Add the heavy metal pegs and it's even heavier. Those were the good days though.

man what a session , it's like the old days . thanks again for another great video .

I got a 1994 Mongoose but it looks like a more modern bike today except it is an 18 inch. It has never been abused or anything. Just got some normal wear and tear. I am 17 I bought it when I was 12 and I love it had a long life and hopefully my kids could enjoy the old school stuff. Even though our bikes now will be old school for them lol. All electric and no 30 t to 9.

I was never interested in the new school bikes, so I didn’t know they were lighter. I’ll stick with my mid School heavy haro. Hoping one day to score an 80’s GT. Loved the video. Had me lmao

And did they all watch Rad, before this venture! Very informative on the old school ways!

I remember when I first started riding my bike was super heavy. None of my friends knew how I did anything on it because it was so heavy. I was hopping over those smaller outdoor trash cans can those white plastic lawn chairs while they were standing up. Back then Sean burns was my favorite rider so basically all I did was go fast and hit huge gaps and do giant drops. I took it to my local bike shop and when the owner picked it up he couldn't believe how heavy it was. He threw it on the scale and it weighed 46lbs. That was back when 3 piece cranks were super thick with big dinner plate sprockets. I had a 36 tooth sprocket. This was before pivitol seats too.

Hey Scotty, my friend, I haven’t checked your channel out in a while but love to see that your doing good and you’ve prosper so far from your accident man it’s just so amazing God does amazing wonders and I’m glad you’re one of them and bless you for keeping a sport going …Lol my friend …..im old school lol freestyle 1985 and later✌🏼long live Eddy Fiola

It would be really cool to see you guys ride even earlier bikes to the late 70s. Great riders and great videos!

I grew up riding in the 90s.... still have my Diamond Back from 92 and just recently picked up a 93 GT Dyno to restore. I'm 43 now and can't wait to get my Dyno built😊

scotty is such a humble guy

Old school mongoose with the blue odi grips brings me back lol. My pops had the mongoose with the circle hole under the top tube, I had a dope robinson and he put odi grips and primo 3 piece cranks on it for me. My brother had a robinson with the same set up too, then my dad got a SE quad angle and my uncle had a free agent with profile sprocket and we would build lil dirt jumps man miss those days

Oh man. I had a 1997 Mongoose Rogue with those forks. It was so sweet!! And my brother had a Mongoose Villian of the same vintage. Such nice bikes from what I remember.

I still ride my mongoose pro sniper which is pretty identical to the hooligan, I would never part with it it’s such a great bike and really capable, I did swap out the wheels and tires for obvious reasons but I still give it a battering at the park and it takes it, that mid school cromo frame is totally bulletproof, it’s really good to see one on your channel even if it was a bit tongue in cheek, love it guys..

Love how much happier Scott sounds.

Still have and ride my original '86 Haro Sport. Got it new when I was 15ish, love the old school stuff.

Scotty just pumps out content like crazy. Man is a content machine

Cool video. The old school hooligan and the add on train were both great and different ideas

I wanted a Hooligan so badly, ended up with a diamondback skindog complete as it was all i could find locally. Kept crushing the bottom bracket bearings and the freewheel would lock up at random. Causing you to launch off the bike if pedaling hard.

Haha, I'm glad you changed it to "mid school". In 1997 I turned 30 and had been riding bmx for 20 years!

I would love to see a PK Ripper or a Haro Freestyler from the 80s being ridden by the boys!

Damn got rhe extra rare blue sparkle haro seat. Nice 👍 I remember seeing one new with packaging at my local bike shop I used to work at as a kid for parts around 00-01. And yeah i remember always having to enter a drop in at a slight angle to avoid clipping those 40+ toothed sprockets. But you never thought about it because thats just how things were.

That’s so sick I haven’t seen one like that in so long my brother used to have one and I always wanted it

Frazier finally got a new shirt!🤙

The old mongooses were notorious for being heavy. Even the first gen.

I remember those huge clunky freestyle bikes, they were like 50 pounds, you can't even bunnyhop it a inch lol

had a peppermint mongoose bac in 97 got it in a box of bits plus the frame and wheels..built it up in my bedroom 🔥🔥🔥happy days

I'm 42 and still ride my royce union from 1997. Glad to see bringing back the old school.

I remember these bikes well, some nostalgia there.

Scott is the man! Loved to watch Him back in His prime

Love the old Mongoose. That was an awesome game of train add on.

Love how you say Haro like hair-o. 😂

Very cool video .....😉🔝😉🔝 Nice time from germany. (56years oldschool bmx driver)

We weren't riding our seatposts that high in 97, but that Fox sticker is LEGIT. I had a red one

I used to have those grips on the old bike lol Brings me back

Great video idea. So much fun. Scotty Cranmer greatest freestyle rider of all time. #1 channel on youtube.

Old school 😂. Man I came from the world of BMX...Mongoose, Diamondback, Redline... Then into early MTB Diamondbacks and Marzocchi forks. History before that we bombed fireroads and footpaths on Reynolds chromoly touring bikes with brazed gussets. We had know idea wth we were doing at the time, but we had a blast. We had no idea of the ground we broke.

What are you doing with the Hooligan? It would look good next to my '98 Villian and my '97 DMC. Just sayin🤷‍♂️ Really cool to see you guys shredding that thing🤘 the blow out was hilarious 😂

You guys need to go ride Tallahassee.

Haro Mirra seat and bars on a 1998 Mongoose Hooligan. I have a '97 and it's not quite as beefy. Definitely lighter than the one you guys were muckin' with.

Your The Man Scotty

9:02 Those maxxis holy roller tyres have always had thin side walls

Holy crap that brings back memories. I knew a guy that had one of those, so many welds ! lol

its funny that bike looks much older than i recall, i had a haro backtrail x3 i think it was 98, what's funny is when i was like 20 i traded it for a 88 RX anniversary addition. thats was back when those cards had no value but wish i still had it.

Great video

That tire blow has me crying 😂😂😂😂

Lovely bike!

Look at the yard sale haha priceless

This bike is new school for me. I got my BMX in 1983 & by 1997 I had quit bmx & was finishing uni.

man, it's even got the 1 pc cranks. Not even a set of 185 profile ??? Isnt that the same frame as the mongoose fuzz ? Had the huge gusset up front. Those look like ditch forks too lol. Brings me back

All I can say is cool old bikes guys.... And if u like old BMX the 80s movie RAD is a must see!!!!

Maybe consider a point game as opposed to elimination. Awesome post. Thanks

Man I still have my 90s GT with the 3 spoke mags. I'd love to see the gang rip it apart lol

Was raised by GT schwinn diamondback Haro redline etc back in 93...miss those times where my bones can still absorb impacts 😊

them mirra pro bars were the dream back then lol

Should have let everyone run through the trick list and just given out points for lands. 1st try 5 2nd try 2 🤷 just a thought. Keep shredding 🤘❤️🤘

Having had an ol' skool, purple Dyno Air as my baby back in the day, i had to click on this one.

I got a '95 haro fusion with Profile parts ! ready to race

That bikes sick, and that haro seat🤤🤤🤤

First bike was a huffy '87. Then Diamondback '92, ELF '95, Schwinn Pro '98. All got stolen. Haven't ridden a bmx since 98, 25 years ago. 43 now 😢 😂

Use to hop into the ridge with the 44 tooth. Like a mini hop to save the tap.

I knew having to pedal backwards would be an issue for the new schoolers. But they did awesome for sure better than i could.

Those bars on the hooligan are my favorite ever made.

maxxi holly roller was the best front tire for dirt, park and street before dirt monster and ruben tires came out. i believe the primo dirt monster was design off the holly roller tire.

I was 15 when this bike was brand new, I always wanted a Mongoose, I actually learned how to ride a bicycle on a Mongoose Californian 85. My mom could only afford to get me locally made bikes, the Mongooses and more respectable brands were incredibly lighter in comparison. Fast forward a quarter of a century and the other day I spotted a mid school rider my age on an old Haro complete with DNA cranks, odyssey giro, Mirra Seat and I think even an Odyssey Pitbull brake, that thing weighs twice what my current bike does and the geometry feels completely weird now, it's crazy how much bikes have changed in such a short span of time.

Yo @scotty you guys gotta see if mongoose can demo you an "AFTER SHOCK" It was I'm pretty sure the first full suspension BMX Frame. I had one YEARS ago. Would be an interesting video possibly

Will needs to bring scotty and matty to the springs to see the pedal homies ride

It's funny that the Mirra seat is what helped me learn barspins (1999) !

Nice riding everyone

I remembered pinching the seat and spin the bars back in those days

Yew. I'm a 90s baby. Had a bike from Repco, then was super happy to upgrade to a Haro TR2.1 in early 2000s Edit: that tyre went!

Have a haro mirra flair sitting in my basement right now that i take out when my kids want to ride at the park. Factory front tire. Replaced the rear this year. All original

I had a 97 Hooligan, loved that bike

Wow. I'd love to see you ride my '85 Skyway T/A long...the same bike that Hoffman rode in the 80s. You'd probably break it. My show bike (I did freestyle shows in the mid-late 80s in Southern New England) is an '86 GT PWT with Peregrine 48s and CW pro bars. But, you'd probably break that one too. Both are fully restored and in my office.

Yooo...so...I have that seat and bars from my hay dayz...idk 23-25 years ago....it's sitting on my Redline Supa X...I really have to restore my bikes, I have an old S&M Dirtbike, Specialized Fuse2 and a Lowrider...also a couple Mongooses and a Fit..idk if can ride anymore, but worth a shot!

awesome game of add on🎉🎉🎉

That Mirra seat is worth more than the whole bike!

2:42 I had a friend that had this seat on his bike back in the day, it is a Haro Dave Mirra Pro Series Blue Sparkle White railed Seat 🔥👍🚲💨

The mid school bikes have to be the heaviest bikes of em all they definitely had style though

When I buy my kids' bikes, I try to ride them. I have a hard time and always ask what the heck they are thinking, making them this way. With saying that, my kids say they have no idea how I do the things I do when they try over and over without success. Most of my skills were perfected with a Hutch trickstyler limited edition 24k gold. I never knew it was a collectable and worth a lot till an ex friend emailed me asking if I wanted to sell it. After I told him no, he thought by throwing out a high number, I'd say yes. At this point, I'd never sell it to him because of what made us ex friends. He's been messaging about once a yr for the last 10 yrs only to ask if I'm ready to sell. I still have it, almost perfect condition. I've never seen another one in person with all the options it has and all original. I feel the old days are far behind us.

Those handlebars remind me of my old Haro bars that I tore in half with too many wall rides....

Is that the ymca in Naples?

Mid school was honestly the best, beefy frames and parts but with old school style style mixed in. I like new school but everything now looks the same

Ive got an old Mongoose Villain that looks pretty similar. I was doing construction work for a customer and he had the thing sitting in his garage since his now like (40) something year old son was in middle school lol I was like I HAVEEE to have it lol

Wow I had the exact same bike I miss those handlebars but that bike was so heavy

Man, everyone on mid school, 1990s bikes for a full run comp. Big Vert bikes mostly or go flatland or go trails for park

I have a redline240 a gt performer mongoose menace and a haro shredder in the shed in boxes and a couple of sets of skyway mags

Dug out my mid school bike a couple years ago and took it for a rip on the street, my arms hurt for days! I used to toss that thing around around like nothing, now I can barely lift it.

ahh the Haro Kneesavers loved my pair

Could have used a sabbath/ warpig/ Haro sport for a bashgaurd or master bashgaurd for a few new trick on the sprocket and grind

I had that exact bike when I was 8.. insane 😅

I've got a 1983 redline 102b, I have owned it since 1989, it was new in box
