Modern day bmx racing

We were all freewheel as well.

 

We have been racing the last three years! And everyone is freewheeling

 

I actually watched that yesterday for the first time in decades. It was on pinkbike.com so I couldnt pass it up. I actually rode a supergoose as a kid. The local bike shop sponsored me, that bike was ahead of its time

 

I went over and checked it out last week. Their was a varying array of bikes. I have a bunch of bikes, road, mtn, downhill and a dirt jumper. I think I would start racing if I went

 

I have a proper dirt jumper but it's such a pig I wouldn't want to race it.

 

Fun facts: my default username on most forums is Rad! movie related - my PSN username is Bart_Taylor (Cru Jones and all derivations where taken back in the day)

 

We had the UCI World Finals at our new track in '17 and that was more than enough to bring me back in after 30 years!
There are a few cruisers at the weekly races but mostly 20 inch. Check out Dan'sComp.com for current stuff.

 

Just got this last week.

 

All i know is i rode GT and jumped every dirt pile in our city and my shins looked like shit from the bear trap/ claw pedals i used. Those were the days!

 

Hey look! A Freewheel!!

 

I still have my original RAD! VHS. Watch it all the time. My wife loves the movie as well, beat part is when I’m doing something in a hurry and run a little late and I pull the, “missed it by 5 minutes” quote from when he’s slinging papers.

 

Ok sorry another greats RAD quote as Cru is walking up to the start at Helltrack.

Cop, “hey Cru, pretend you’re on at the lumberyard, go balls out”

I used think that was so cool when I was a kid.

 

Here’s the Patterson I built and raced in 1983. Not sure why I’ve hung onto it for 36 years but glad I did.

 

I wish I still had my 1980’s Thruster vanishing point. Sigh...
Got myself a Greg Hill 24” just before he went out of business in 2013.

 

Another Freewheel! WTF!!!

Man I wish I would have kept all my shit.. Ripper Frame.. Landing gear.. Tough Neck, Aero Plate, Uni seat, Suntory cranks and hubs.. And on comp 2 tires.. colored of course ended up going back to one piece cranks... stripped em out with my powerful legs..LoL to think that was 4O Years ago blows my mind.. Remember Redline Flight Cranks? Never could afford those things... oh and what about folding those Z Rims ?

 

I think you mean "freecoaster"...I hope anyhow.

 

Mongoose, Supergoose, Team Mongoose, DRP, then, a CW ZL Pro. I’d love to relive those days.

 

Sadly, "Negative Ghost Rider" on Dan's Comp...not long after I purchased a complete 24" from them about 1.5 yrs ago they have been taking money and not shipping due to not having product in stock.... It shows in stock but isn't... Empire BMX or Albes is much more reliable at this point in time. Quite a few on the VitalBMX forum have been having issues.

 

If you posted that on BMX Museum you'd be getting all kinds of offers probably...
