Man, those wheels bring back memories. They was the THING back then. I had a set of them on a bike that a full telscoping front forks like motorcycles and a mono shock in the rear. That bike must have weighed a ton, but it was SMOOOOOOOoooooooooooth!

Haha, nice bike there :)


I have seen a few rims around on bikes like that, but you dont see them that much these days.

more like 45

open72, is that a Mongoose? I had a Supergoose (still do) with Skyways (Tuffwheel II's.) I also had some Z rims with Bullseye hubs.

I Knew that was a Mongoose with Tuffwheels. I couldn't see if the Tuffwheels were 1 or II's Cool. I use to have a PK Ripper before it got ripped off. Then I got a Race Inc.

What memories that pic brought back

Them were the good old days. I had a nickle plated super gose with much of the above listed stuff and my best freind had the cooks brother's bike. You always had to have a shirt with Edie on it my favorite was Aces High :D Rag's

Wasn't it more of a freestyle bike than a BMX racer?

I do remember it though....... :)

Yes I do, what about Harry Leary with Diamond Back?

radical man . . .radical :D :D :D

Would it be bad if I told you I've raced all me life most recently as last Friday nite. When I started Kinetic in 1995 I also turned PRO/Superclass around the same time. I quickly realized I had to devote more time to work than BMX. Still love the sport it's AWESOME to see how well the guys do these days thanks to ESPN and the X Games. I raced my first race sometime in 1981 at Coral Springs BMX on a DG.

When i was a young punk
 

17 years ago

Re: When i was a young punk
 

15 Years ago, And I still am a punk but an old one now!

r addiction , those are the rims i lost to the garbage can:D glh , that pic looks like a not 21 yet pic. not bad:p

BMX - From the time I was 10 until I got my license at 17, I think I spent every second not in school or sleeping on a BMX bike.
Tried the racing thing in the early 80's, did well for a while, but Freestyle held my interest more. Did that for a long time, rode in 100's of shows - even one with "Dizz" Hicks and Woody Itson from the Hutch team.
Also rode in a local Haro show with Ron Wilkerson.
Found out it's a lot harder when there's a bunch of people standing around watching you. :D
My last bike was a Hutch Trick Star, complete with a one of a kind rear coaster brake hub designed by Brian Scura - SST. (Got the hub from Woody.)

Hey Ryan - ever run across a girl named Christine Lisnock at the races? She was a friend of mine way back when who turned pro in the 80's. I think she races downhill Mtn. Bikes now.

Graduation Day...1981:D :D :D

with the stawberry papers:D

Wow
I must have put 20k miles a year on my BMX bikes back in the day.
Thruster was one of our customers and got to go to the factory, 2 bay garage, and they custom built one for me. Hows that for the shiznitz.
The trick set-up for a while was the Tuff Wheel II in the front and the alloy in the rear.

my current bike is a FACTORY Profile bike from St Pete. A good friend of mine "Termite" works there. Profile is one of the oldest companies around and are world renowned for there legendary 3 piece cranks. Tinker is a BIG mountain bike racer now. Stu Thompson still races once in awhile. I dunno Christine Linsnock? I know of a few racer people kids that race, John Ingle's son is VERY good, I know Craig Barrie's son used to race.

BTT:D
