The last carefree generation. Grateful to be part of it!!

Never underestimate the power of the Wheelie!!

I had a Blue 1969 Stingray…Greatest Bike Ever…I want My Childhood Back…..

I am 60 years old. I remember these days well.

Best bike ever made you never out grew it, I have a phantom but still love to ride my sons stingray

Dude this footage is like a memory brought to life. Some clear, some hazy but memories of a by gone era.

No hands! You're a stud!

love this video..I grew up in Manhattan Beach and got my first sting ray in 1968..me and my buddies were the wheelie KINGS of the hood!...then came motomags and BMX!!! good times... ahhhh to be young again!

My grandpa was a Schwinn dealer back in the day...... My Bro and I always had cool Stingrays.... best bikes ever made!!

Look at all the 60s and 70s cars sitting in all the driveways.

This is amazing to watch super interesting now are bike are like way different nowadays

Man i remember me and my friends used to ride wheelies try to out ride the other best time of my growing up

That was cool thanks the good old days nothing like it

They are classic bicycles, but still the best bikes ever manufactured..

Thanks Richard! Grew up in Seal Beach doing the same thing in the early 80’s !

X Games in my era. We started it.

Willie with no hands wow

Painter’s caps!

“Stairway to Stingray”

stairway to heaven revisited

And here I thought I rode backwards on my bars before anyone (circa 1977). Looks like I was wrong. But I may have held the record at one time. Rode backwards for 9 miles on an early BMX. Those cars though. '70 Duster, '73 Montego, '69 Chevelle.

Even with a banana seat that was a fantastic wheelie.. ya little porcupine. If you ride like that in bell bottoms it could blow you off the bike.. or, so I was told. Thank you.

i could do no handers on my krate because the steering can only flop so far right or left. With a standard fork, i assume the fork bearings needed to be snugged up. Nice footage!

Muy buen video! Gracias por subirlo. Es impresionante lo que hacian en esa epoca con las bicis. Mucha habilidad . Felicitaciones. Weelie por siempre!

❤

Yo is this stairway to heaven!?

Too bad you were riding my sisters Stingray! Mine was a boys model with 3 spd candy blue, white metal flake seat and a cheater slick on back

Kool!

Screwing around on my Fastback a few years ago and scratched the bar when I went over, Dang, you know you can’t buy those at the swap meet for 50¢ anymore?

You can never go home. 😔

AMERICA.......

It's not easy to ride a wheelie on a ten speed.

5 year old kids weighing 40 lbs pulling whhelies on 29 inch heavy SE BIG RIPPERS without cheater seats that sit way back over the rear wheel center hub. Sorry but todays little kids are far more intelligent.

I didn't like the banana seat Schwinn's
