Wasn't Ronnie one of those guys, if he was having a good day, you will loose. He was blistering fast for a period of time. I read something on this site that between him and Richie they had over 7k trophies. Those two had great bmx results. Richie, probably THE most successful amateur rider to date.

53 in a pro is carmody, saw blaser in there too.
check out 25 cruiser pic 8636, dude is on a slingshot cruiser.

Rick, ya that's Shawn C. alright. Geee, we never raced each other.

Man, I have to post some pics soon. I'm remembering things that I have from those days in So-Cal.

I'm going to have to confirm this with a friend that was close to him, but i believe the other Boss rider #18 is Darrin Griffen, Darwins brother, & is RIP as well. geeeez...

Holy crap, there are some gems stashed in those archives... sweeeet.

Kast!

pat, i believe his name was dana, maybe, can't remember.
mikko- 'sup, thanks for the invite to S.T. , man i would have drove for that!

!!!

LOL!

WTH does that have to do with anything?

only thing i can figure is my last name. doh

Well Mr. I have a Pair-Internet Cruiser, that would be a "CAST" as in rick kast.

I suppose you didn't get the Manhole ones?

THAT is what you meant by the manholes? LOL...

Mark, I heard a rumor that you are going to race the DG at the Condo.

Ok, so here's one for you Mark. What is it?

MORE FROM 1986 HERE

another day, another page, if it wasn't for us this place would be a ghost town. lol

My new slippers?

hayzooz cris, time it took me to post that 3 more pile on.

Yes, and sporting my new red shorts and tubetop

Tell me about it. I try to time the photo posting at the top of a new page, and before I'm done it's already got started. I'm sure the rest of VBMX are getting tired of us. Well except for CHEES.....

check out 86b31, kid is on a red gjs. dude was old school in 86.

OK - Conejo Bunnie.

Oh Kast, I get it.....

I spent way to much time on here the past few days....stop posted pictures damn it!

That last batch of pics is a time warp. I just don't recall anyone. You can see things starting to change alot in 86.

You like GJS's too huh? Its one of my favorites for the 80's. Miland had one and it handled REALLY good. IMO, Sean was at his best riding on that bike.

correct. It is Dana Griffen. Harrison went to school w him.

I think I bought Conleys old GJS? I remember my hobby was trying to peice all the GJS accesories together..the seat post clamp(never did find), the bars, the fork etc.

DQ's lurking....seen the middle figure comment....

Gave us another view, which I believe Boeck's is flipping off Winkberger

NICE !!!

Thanks DQ

Didn't GJS's have the built in seat clamp and it adjusted from side facing the front of the bike???

Your bars were Hutch, I know you don't believe me, but its because of your bars I bought Hutch bars. What a difference from the GT bars.. Sean, yes it was Mark's old GJS. DC also ran a GJS back on Tremco....see bmx plus cover with DC and Will Scurto...

I owed a GJS?

That's funny.... Bocker, so was it Sandpiper's idea or yours?

btw, I thought i knew a dan quigley in ottumwa but i guess it is not him, he must be from minn?

Honest to god! Your kidding me right? What didn't you own? I think you owned all my bikes I had and they were brand new when I got them....

Brad, Yes it was John idea, He was always up to something.

Must not be the same Dan. I Never really knew him, he's always been a part of Penn Cycle up here. COuld be wrong though

I thought it was Pat Nelson that had one?

He had one too! All you Freeborn County guys had all the new techno. I bought my first set of Philwood hubs from you laced to red Araya's....Ya, the same set that Shan Lynde cut the spokes out of.

Mark, can you even name all your bikes?

Mine is easy:
75 Schwinn Scrambler "Ted Carl model"
78 GT/CYC Ames Stormer
80 GT standard w/ Euro BB
82 GT pro (Jeff Manning signature model, this was before he quit)
83 GT pro ( bent the frame in crash with Mike Salido)
83 GT pro ( the only frame I got for free) sold the bike to J. Wendt

Hmmm, looking at my list I guess you were right. Am I missing any Mr. Memory?

KOS
GJS
DG
Stroker II

JMC 20

I guess mine could have been a Nelson bro pre-owned GJS-but I like to imagine The great Conifer rode it before I.

Boecker is hiding back in 5th place. When is your birthday Scott? I didnt race you that often...I know Sean Noble(1st), myself(2nd) and a guy named Bob ?(3rd) were all kinda tall/bigger compared to some in our 13x class. But Brad Apold proved that being jockey size doesnt have to hold your bmx career back.

Great Scot! I think Troy had more though. Man that guy had the frames/forks.

Sean, yes, between 80-81 those were some darker years of bmx for me. Locally it was okay. but some of those larger races I wasn't doing so good. Everyone was growing, but me...I caught up some in 82 and 83 too. You weren't exactly tall though, taller than me. Shan Lynde was another small kid and so was Boecker....... Little like me.

I'm not even in the running, but just for fun...

Oooo, I did forget a couple:

Torker (20 & 26)

Haro (24 mid school)

Short list for me:

Hutch Pro 20"
Redline PL-20
Hutch 24"
Redline NS 24"

1st of all, you guys were nuts with all the brand switching. I suppose you bought new as well when changing brands?? I guess you made it better for guys like me to get good equipment affordably. A person wonders....Mark Conley...when did you have time for cruisin Broadway Av in the Toyota for your your Albert Lea babes if you were constanly rebuilding frame setups?

Yea, rub it in....you still have THREE OF THEM!

I cruised AL Broadway on my bike riding wheelies in my red shorts and shirtless pickin' up the chix
