I pretty much have a standing reservation for gate 8 at every NBL track. I can't tell you how many wins I had from the outside. But I do know with the new rules it would be alot tougher to snap and put the blinker on...

At ABA races it always seemed like I had gate 1....

Post some videos please....

P.S. I am gonna wreck someone on the ice tonight!!

Whiteout-

BTW: This thread is RAD !! Nice photos. I went through the whole 31 pages.

you know,we dont like to brag..hahahahbut thanks!
a great bunch of knuckle heads,and look and mr dave whitey williams track record- i see a few nat #1's...good times,awesome stories,and memories i'll never forget dude.especially that one time when...........

I raced at Cool-Tool all the way through pretty much. I was younger than the "old guys" like the Williams bros but I've got a ton of pics from the Eagle BMX days. And how about that Schwinn Track in Henrietta? I remember a few races there but nothing like the memories from Eagle and Cool-Tool. i still have my HUTCH and my uniform. Sophmore year in highschool (86), I was tied for first in that NY state champ series (15X) but my stupid football coach says "you go to that race and don't bother showing up for practice"...and that was the end of my BMX career...until I made the transfer around 26 to racing slalom after college. Had a little series in Texas on a course I designed. Still ripping at 36!! Raced USA champs this year for DH but DNF'd. Nice to connect. Anyone remember me? Tall redhead kid...night racing at the Tool ruled! Me and Joel Mosher use to battle it out in 14-15X!! I had "THE FLAME" on my race pants not realizing the implications of such a word at the time...dork!

you raced me too.

PWN3D!

Happy New Year to everyone!!

The Henrietta track (Yahtzi's ?) was cool! Dan and I used to get watched for gate jumps when we raced there. They couldn't understand how we could come out of the gate so fast. We also used to jump the triples on the 4th straight. That track was fun to ride....

Those were some good times with Southtown's in Buffalo and Niagara. You could race 4 times a week. Almost makes me want to break out the Natty or the JMC. Look out Andy Lee.......

woooo!!!!

happy new years you $#%$#^%$^%$%$#$#%$@$@'s!!!!!!!!!

oh man,yahtzees,scrabble whatever thats where i started!!
those triples were wooooo i jumped them too,and i remember
you guys made fun off that one dude...
scotty madonna? i cant remember...he wore torker full gear.
i raced there in sat then onandoga on sundays...you guys rode eagle on sundays...

that gate...skateboard wheel on the end of a pipe..if you were in gate 1 or 8 you had a foot on everyone coming out the gate because it bowed out so much (wood)
you better get on that bike dude,you were like national number ONE for 86547383763 years...what the flip are u waiting for? and dont say 'foot' either mr.hockey camp...mmhmm lol

Andy that bike is SICK! Let me throw some slam bars on that and I will DEFINATELY make a comeback! No clips just pure horsepower baby....

That gate was hilarious, if I remember right the starter would hit some lever with a hammer or something. Gate 8 was actually overgrown halfway down the first straight, BIG SNAP & a hard left. Look out I'm coming over!

As far as hockey goes....I'm gonna flip someone Friday with an old school hip check....hahahahahahahahaha

i know u and your brothers have a ton of bikes and parts and stuff,any flicks? you guys should put some bangers together..for sure.
and what about that refridgerator box in your garage FILLED will local race trophys...dude seriously 400 trophys..hahaha
i bet between me and u and dj theres gotta be 200 numberplates floating around..
post them hockey flicks!!
anyways ill be back in ny for a week this spring,i think im gonna do a store back in the lower east side,and move back too..

do u know about this?
http://www.nycgovparks.org/sub_things_to_d...ts.php?id=36360

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=36HNVDHOukU...feature=related

look past the big bikes and these trails are city built and look fun (and diggable)

theres room in your truck for a 20"

dj where u at?

Dude - Me and Big Rog emptied out the garage and the attic. Put all the trophies on the driveway and took some pics and then heaved them into a dumpster. I think I had somewhere around 1200. Crazy! That doesn't even count the NBL nationals from '90 - '99, except for the grands and BIG races. Don't worry I didn't chuck some of the good ones.

That place in NYC looks pretty cool. I have driven by it a bunch of times. I may check it out this spring, I will bring the 20" and the Giant STP. I think I can hang there....just no big one-footers or can-cans anymore. Gotta sneak the bikes there so I won't get in trouble....haha. I can probably impress some of the younger kids with my high-speed standup wheelies. Plus I can do some skids for them....hahahaha. Probably throw my old-a$$ out.

I gotta bring a shovel and dig me some sick quads. Man I miss the days of riding the Pines. We did some crazy things there. Doing 80 mph through the trees, surprised nobody killed themselves back then. Well Baby Huey almost did, knocked himself out cold....actually I did that too.....hahahaha.

Well guys I have been gone for a while but I am now back. New for 2008, I was just elected President of the Waukegan BMX board in December and I am looking forward to making Waukegan BMX the best track in Illinois. If there are any Old School New Yorkers that want to come and see and race just drop me a line. The track has a great new BOD and we are looking forward to a great 2008 season. We are going to keep the Old School shows that we had last season. These will be once a month. Also in the works are paved berms, starting hill and a little track redesign.

Best to all.

Steve,

Congrats on the new position! Sounds like you got some good things going on at the track.

Re-design? Do you need the blueprints of the Pines?? hahaha

I am trying to get Guy to put all his Videos on DVD or You tube. He has a lot of stuff. The Pines was the place to be back then.

Raced the nationals there in 1985 and 1986, I believe (13 and 14 X). I have a couple gate pics. of my brother and I. I think I have one of the AA gates with Sean Texas, Leary, and a few others. If I can find a scanner, I'll post the pics. I think they are from 1985. Fun track. I think I might have made my main there once, but I can't remember. We raced a ton of nationals back then.

whitey,dave & everyone...lets catch up!
its been too long!!

newark track!?!?!?!?!
im trying to make opening day

dave-shipping this week..with tees for you and whitey and salt


mdurg,hello hello? is this thing on!??!?!?!

I raced the National there in 85 for Factory Powerlite. Not sure how I finished, I was 9X....

bump!

Wow! This thread is still on a poppin'
Whitey's still here. Come on bro. Move to Cali! LOL!
Ken Aman still here? Ken, did you ever see your cruiser main on dvd from the 81' Indy Jag Worlds?

Invisibleman and I have been hitting practice at Bellflower on Monday nights.
Soon it'll be the World famous Orange YMCA track on Wednesdays too.

Funny cause you can tell Invisibleman and I used to REALLY race back in the day
from our riding style. The other older guys don't seem to show the same skill.
But some of them are pretty darn fast in their own right. Not knockin anyone.

We ride pretty hard out there. We're compettitive, but we're definately having fun.
I did about 20 gates and Invisibleman did about 30 since he showed up early.
For about 2 straight hours, imagine a full gate of riders between 33 and 45 trying to WIN PRACTICE!
LOL!

Johnny J

Johnny, you know your the man!!!

Crehan has got the dopest avatar!!! how are you brotha!?

Geez man. I get on this thread and it becomes dead.
I'm the thread killer. LOL!

Invisibleman and I are probably gonna race a "ABA Race For Life" at Bellflower tomarow.
Any of you New Yorkers flying out. It's double points!

Thanks Johnny, nothing like having a BMXA page shot. One of my proudest momments for sure. Doing good bro how's it going way out there?

No, but I remember the move. Really felt I had a chance to win it if I didn't draw the outside lane. Went into the first turn way too hot (or maybe I just didn't have enough hairspray on the tires). Put my foot out to block the inside and maybe kicked a tire or 2. Mindset before the gate dropped was World Champion or nothing!!! I did end up getting that title 2 years later in Burbank. Not one of my prouder moments, but you can't blame a guy for being intense...LOL.

Ok, All you NY BMXers I found this when I was looking for some stuff for our track.

You might know some history here.

Steve

Ken Aman you rock and were definately my favorite guy to watch from New York!
I was messin around, but you steped up and called it like it was. That's very cool!

How come Whitey's not posting?

For the last few days, we've been having a heatwave in So. Cal.
I'm not sure Invisibleman and I are gonna hit Bellflower BMX track tonight.

They had a ABA Race For Life there last Sat.
It was so crazy hot, I was "totally spaced out" watching the mains.
I saw the guys I raced against lining up. IT WAS MY MAIN!
They were waving at me trying to break my zone! LOL!

I ran up there, made em wait a few mins to get my gear on,
Totally SNAPPED EVERYONE HARD out of the gate,
hit the first jump wrong and got squirlled out, and then got passed again at the finish.
I choaked! From first to last in 30 something seconds. LOL!

Someone I know was a no show.........cough cough........ But he was being a good dad, so it's all good!

Seriously,
Invisibleman has serious pull after about two cranks out of the gate. SCARY!
AND pulls up before pretty much ALL the jumps! RAD!
We have a good time riding out there.

Hey you former upstaters... the new track in Newark opens this summer:
http://www.upstatebmx.com - not much info yet.

Been riding during the winter at xdreams skatepark in Rochester. Recovering from separated shoulder about 6 weeks ago (hung up on a spine and went down hard)

We're two weeks into racing season up here. My last race as a 30-something. Look out 40-45 cruisers next week! The shoulder is sore today, worked on the rhythm section today on the cruiser and starting to get some sharp pains when pulling up. Hard for me to get used to manualing the cruiser at speed when I ride a 20" park bike all week.

CNYBMX in Bridgewater (20 min south of utica) will be having an NBL national this summer.

Saw Goracy at the bike shop buying his kid a Redline mini. Will have to get a hold of him and see if he plans on getting on the track... told him even to just get out to practice... riding is all good!

whats crackin yall.
been riding 3x a week havin a blast.
Mr Johnson is a old Kevin Robbins..

whitey>whats good bro!

dj,vick,mdurg...

tell ray to get a bike and quit bein' lazy.

I'd like to hear how you guys get used to the aba gate,.its taken me a while man for sure,but now im GHOST!

chime in!

That's right!
Invisibleman has been riding two different tracks, twice a week at Bellflower
and once a week at Orange, doing 2 hours of hard gates!
I've bee too.
Who's still riding the track around here?

Mburg,

I don't know if I know you but I grew up in Palmyra and strated racing at Cool Tool in 1985. I was the one who also started the NBL track that was in Macedon for a year. I am going to be back in town for a wedding on June 14th (Guy Andrews) Pines rider BITD. I am also a long time friend of Jason from X Dreams. Now I migh thave to bring the bike back home and race. Lucky I have NBL and ABA membership.

Whitey...

Its Guy how the heck have you been??? Steve told me about this site and here I am. I have a TON of pics from COOL TOOL that I will have to scan and get onto the computer. So give me some time to accomplish this. I have the Pines Tape still too. I am going to have my fiance's dad put it onto a DVD for me.


Guy

Yo boys - I'm still hanging around. Been moving the last couple weeks so I haven't been on so much.

I have to say Kenny was THE MAN. My all time favorite pic is of him with a hand full of brakes going into turn 1 at Louisville. He laid the horses down to Kakouris and Anderson and realized he was going WAY too fast....haha. That must have been a crazy main!

Invisible gets his old school pick up for the jumps from me and DJ. He watched us do it for years and perfected it....hahaha. We all rode the same. And dude you NEVER had a gate. ABA I used to leave on "WATCH" the gate....snap and hope the gate falls....

Johnny I may have to make a road trip to Cali and see if I can hang with you guys. I know Buckle knows I have some skills ('98 NBL Grands). Snnnaaaaaapppppp!!!!

Guy its about time you got on here, it only took a year.

Let's keep this thread rolling........DJ drop the clubs and get on here!

Whitey

DJ doesn't have clubs in his hands it's more like yard tools! He's a home owner now it's all about yard work no fun allowed!

Stanz,

We probably never met. I rode EBA back in the day and was a mostly an Onondaga BMX local rider. I certainly wasn't at half the level that the other guys on here were. But it was all fun traveling and racing... good times!

I started racing/riding again 2 years ago and it's been great.

invisibleman - we switched to random gate this year (NBL) is that what you guys are using too?

Mark

aba gate was soooo hard for me at first...
i was nice at cool tool and for some reason had good starts at the can ams...other than that whiteys right my gate sucked! good thing i was fast as hell ahhahahaha
i got aba gates pretty good now,they do uci/nbl randoms at Orange track during pro practice..
i been riding alot tho..trails and 2 tracks..so fun.
daves hands are all blisters from mowing and raking..hahahaha
(L-R:johnny johnson,Da G Ryd,and invisibliss)

bump!

Nice pic Andrew. I take it the swellbow is all healed up? Looks like Johnny is ready to put the horses back down.......why are you riding the chalk line? I taught you better than that....MOVE OVER brother!

1st ABA race I ever went to I was having trouble with the gate. Before the main Brian Foster tells me to leave when the starter says "watch". I'm like its BF its gotta work. Long story short left on watch, my gate was so good I thought for sure I was going to get called for a jump. Lead into the 1st turn and BF passes me down the 3rd straight. 2nd place, couldn't have been happier....

hahah!!! you know i run lane 7 EVERY lap
oh man that jump is sick! if im ahead i stay my lane,and shut 'em all down in the first turn...(gee who taught me that)..youll see if i can post a vid of this track,first turn it a right (they all are it SUCKS) and a pretty big step dive into turn one kinda thing...johhny johnson trys the hi-low move but i tap my brakes and he has to stay high...hahahaha of course he wont anymore....DOH! dude you got a place to stay for sure when you come out. you and deeeg should make it happen.
good times.

clip in to win!

No clips for me brother. Don't ever want to be a lawn dart. I can still get the horses going the old fashioned way....hahaha.

The old brake check....hahaha. Johnny get po'd? That jump does look a little crazy, just hit it and hold on!! hahahahahaha.....can't be worse than Cool-Tool

lol its great cause he cant say anything....its 'practice' hahaha....we are actually about to both manual-but we going so damn fast we get a few inches air..theres no way around it....i can actually see you bump jumping this thing...what you dont see is it levels off into a table,then drops down into the first turn...
my dad sent me flicks of the newark track....www.upstatebmx.com.....its LEGIT.

are you going to get a bike together and start riding again bro?...you kinda have too...all national number 1s are required to take a few years off then come back...its in the nbl rule book.

dj where are you

I'm going to look for that rule. hahahha How many are you allowed anyway?
I would so pick up and bump jump to dead sailor over that jump. hahahahaha I have many bikes built up, the question is: what one do you want me to beat you on? Just kiddin......

I would love to take a trip out to Cali, too bad my employees would lose their minds while I was gone.

i cant go anywhere for long either...you know,i think its just us being skitzo's...everythig would be fine....hahahahah not.

heres how my day is going.....

Man I miss riding at the Pines, life was so simple then. And yes my guys would lose they're minds with me away....8 hrs and there's problems....hahahahha.

Funny how we would dig all day long and I now I don't even want to mow my lawn that takes 5 minutes.....
