That my friend is still called BADD ASSSSS!

jk

So that shot at Hickam was that over by "Prime Beef"? We used to get some crazy jumps out there.

Kenny

It's a rad pic! The kids nowadays would call it "inverted".....either way, it's way nice, ahead of it's time fo sho!

-Leasure

Whats up P.

Thanks fo rthe pic. Hope to see more pics from you.

BC

Found this on another website:



jk

Ahhhhh yeahhhh!! That shot was from a state race on Maui. Glad to see I made the cut in some of the Hawaiian BMX history!

Yeah but did you hear Terry's comments on the pick.

Changstar

Nope, I didn't see his comments and the site is down for maintenance. I can only imagine what he said. They guy always lived in a dream world. LOL!!

Heres a picture of me at the gate at Keehi Lagoon. Check out those Quicksilver shorts.My Speed Unlimited Thruster cap and the mirror shades.Boy I wish I was that skinny still.

Picture of Derek at Keehi Lagoon going over one of those wooden ramps.

BC, I had a pair of those shorts with the checker board pattern too. I remember having to tuck your stuff to one side while riding since they were so short and tight. So funny to see what was the "in" stuff at the time. I'm sure one day we will look back at todays styles and laugh too.

jk

Anyone hit the KTown Pumptrack yet?

jk

What's the K town pump track?

Changstar

Pump track they are building at Kalaheo. I also heard from several people that there are new lines at RS that are real BMXey.....their words not mine.

KTown Pump Track

jk

Looks like a few new places to check out. Are they BMX friendly? Both the people and the riding area.

Changstar

Brian, MEAN! hehehe

Those mirror shades just scream 80's policeman. Maybe cause thats what all the ones on TV wore. The future was set.

Changstar

Guys,

Don't forget the JUMP JAM at HK on the 22nd. Hopefully I can make it and take some pics.

jk

I am trying to make it too, on a 20 might I add. I'll have both bikes, just in case I can't get comfortable on 20. Gonna try to fit in with the young guns. For me with jumping, the cruiser was always better for long far doubles, and the 20 was easier for getting sideways. So I hope I can muster some kind of style on a 20. Hope the word gets out, and even if you don't ride I would like to as many of you as I can. Just would be fun to talk story.

Changstar

REMINDER, Hawaii Kai
Date: Saturday November 22...
probably around 11:30 - 12ish
all is invited: bmx, mountain bikes, vintage bmx riders, etc...
Plz bring foods or drinks>>> will have a grill, so if you like cook hot dogs or hambergers..

20....YES! You think you can get Moki out there? I'm working on a my 20/Jag too. But, won't be ready by the 22nd. Been trying to make it more retro than vintage. Hopefully I won't be fighting the bike when its new mods are done. Looking forward to riding 20 again.

jk

JT pointed me to this in the Freestyle section. Wish I could see the Jam! Be cool if they had one of JT's old school DVD's where Andy & Kevin Lau opened the show for Eddie Fiola and Dave Breed at
the Mililani GT World Tour.


jk

here's andy with some freestyle guys. matt hoffman, mike dominguez, eddie fiola, and bryan blyther


just got these new/old profile cranks. #65

Kev,

Sweet Profiles!!!!!! Been tossing around the idea of getting apair for my 20 inch retro project.

I see Andy is Rockin the Black Lightning Tshirt.

jk

Yep, those Retro Profiles are sweet. Mine should be here any day as well. Profile hooked me up one set of 180's. I'm not sure what # I'm getting but they will look sweet on my latest project.

Hey Thumper or Lumpia, give us some grands scoop.

Changstar

Another picture from Cambells

First off all, da track goin' be off da hook! We've got pro sections galore and a crazy fast track. We leave this Friday to head off to Tulsa, should be one of the best Grands EVER! Rumors of a ton of Olympians there (even Mike Day is supposed to help us build) plus, many foriegn riders in town. Chang, I'm not sure if your intermediate skills would be able to handle this track, maybe KLau could? Anyways, I wish some of my island boys could make it out, it's going to be good fun!

-Leasure

Oh I know I am not ready for something like that. But the old holeshot road block technique works well, but you won't have many friends. You can bet if I am gonna race something like the grands, I will be riding alot first. Maybe I will even race open so maybe you can say you beat me once. As I hide your jersey and helmet before our semi, hahaha. I thought about hitting a race next year, but right now I am planning to go to some Filipino wedding.

Changstar

Vish posted this in the shoutbox on dhhawaii........

thanks for the Dig Session today jon, Guys.. HK has a new jump.. and i'm calling best dirt jump on island right now. nice hang time and super smooth.

Chang,

You've been outta racing for a while now huh? There's a new rule called the "30' foot line", that holeshot thing and cutover is a thing of the past!

I hear the Flip wedding is going to be a big party?

-Leasure

Wow!!!! Rockne you hear that! 30 ft rule.......TEEEHHHHHEEEEE..........Add that to our endless childhood argument..........CHHHHHEEEEEHOOOOOOOOO!

Just kidding! Cheers Bro!

jk

Yes I know the rule. I am good for a least 50 feet before I get tired, ha haha. So about 50 feet is where the road block starts. I heard the grands is over 1,100 feet, so thats about 1000 feet to long for me. Just call me winner of practice, where you only do the first straight then shut down and try to look cool. While trying to look cool I will be looking for the medic so I can use their Oxygen tank.

Changstar

Jason,
I am so with you on the stamina thing....... I can barely make it to my daughters school without gasping for air and the sad thing is I think it is mostly downhill. Pretty much walk the bike home.

Kenny

Went out to HK today. Rockne Where TF were you? If you guys are going to hit the new booter on sat bring your helmets. That thing is nasty.

jk

Hey everyone, I hope its cool to jump in on the conversation. I am new to this forum and my name is Jesse Ramiscal, but not new to BMX. Its petty cool to see that there are still some hard core guys out there. I use to ride a Skyway TA with those Graffite tuffs........All you guys from MILLS, I would love to ride but I probably going be way in the back.....

Welcome Jesse. About time you finaly found us. So you save anything from back in the day? If you read back you can find Klaus, Sug, Slavey, Shohara, and more. Getting together this Sun for a ride if you wanna check it out, you don't have to ride. It's fun just to hang out, I know you can bring the sounds.

Changstar

Changstar,
I ran across your post in the 26 thread. Here's the two that I could find in your albums:






jk

Yipeeeee there I am in my glory #886 on what I think is a Champion frame.

Kenny

How about any of me racing Jason that same year ot the State Championships since he did beat me and all.... Nah I'm not still bitter.....jk

Kenny

Kenny,

Give me an idea of what to look for and I'll try and help. 20" I am guessing since I cant remember Changstar racing 26. What color jersey what number?

Not sure who is on the Kos Kruiser but in 2nd is Kevin Sano.

Remember that feeling when you placed or won? I believe this is Shane Oyadamori.

jk

Heres a couple from the Eki stash:





Legendary Hawaiian Rory Ingano!
Cy Shinkawa and Chris Cole on his Team Minigoose in the background.

Rory is that the jump in Kalihi? I think at the community center on Harvey Lane? I remember riding there with James Cambe.

jk

Wait a minute......i guess Changstar did race 26.
