Who you calling fat BIT@h,,,Retro's are just stupid and are killing Old school BMX...



Lighten up that was a joke,
I think the retro's are cool, and they look good and also hold up well, even when sack is crashing them over the tabletop at derby city,
but even a bike made of plastic would hold up at the speed sack is going when he crashes

That's why you live in a van down by the river

With the weather getting nice, it's time to resurrect this thread.

Some 24" Quad action at the local skatepark.




Anyone else getting retro rad this year?

my riding buddy Matt from this mornings session on his PK Ripper Team







one of me but not on a retro



DINGO

An early picture of Matt load testing an 84 XL TA we built , the Andy Patterson tribute/replica bike




Since then it has had some parts swapped around to get it closer to a newschool race geometry setup , using mostly oldschoold parts & gets raced in the "vintage bmx class" here. Matt kicks some serious ahhzzz on this sweet old bike & keeps up the Andy Patterson of throwing down some old school big air jumps during the races.


Oldschool #41 Haro plate at the gates.




Time to get blurry , as soon as the gate drops.




The other pix are seriously blurred & not worth posting , did you get _any_ clear pix of Matt hammering the pedals riding this 1984 classic Dirtboy ?

I love the retro quad 20"
I am considering one to race 4-5 times a year. No problems with strength? I wouldnt think so.

No problems at all.
My gets a beating all the time.

Getting a little more comfortable riding 20. No wrecks yesterday! Thats always a bonus.

That is a great shot Jeremy.... a modern Classic,

Dang Jeremy!!!! I wanna ride in Hawaii. Looks like you have some KILLER spots there.

Looking good JK!

'05 GHP Cro-mo 24"
Cherry Hill BMX, old man style.

OK, how's this?
GJS retro, with 26" ZRims and gum walls - AT STATE FINALS!!!
Before the next moto started, the rear gumwall slipped off that Z Rim and I had to grab my Clayborn.
Anyhow, enjoy.

Flippin' sweet right there!

Digging the pics guys! Especially the "old man style"!

Roger that. Almost every time I go riding with my son on my Kappa Starsky (looptail and twin top tubes) some kids start snickering. That usually changes to interested conversation when I start riding. Nobody around here rides flatland so they all go "Ohhhh...it's for flatland". Easy way for them to save face, cause I know they think it's an old piece of junk till I start busting tricks.

This is my 90's era Mongoose Expert that I built to look like the 85' I had as a kid. A great rider! And super light!

Another pic of it.



Let's try this again.

This was my 09' Retro Freestyler I built up w/NOS parts. Great rider but was hard to get my balance on it because of the angle of the top-tube. Ended uo selling it about a month ago.

Two of my kids riding their reverse retros ( old frames/new parts) at the skatepark a few weeks ago. It was my daughter's first time, hence the lack of air. I was still very proud of her, tho.

Great pic Jeremy. I hope your photographer had health insurance!

Time to bump this thread back to the top. Our track in Hawaii finally became a reality and we hope to be racing sometime in the next few months. But, its great to be riding a track after all these years...um decades,,,,,,

Retro Team Jag

Any updates? Jeremy how is the track? Any more retro's floating out there?

Here's a Nomorea in action.



JP

I switched to an S&M 38 special. Unfortunately I cracked the Rtetro Jag Frame. The track is going good. We got thru our first year of racing here since our new track was built. Our first race of 2011 is supposed to be this Saturday but its kinda sketchy at this point. We are getting pounded by heavy rain right now. A few guys went to check on the track and they said its flooded with water.

Hopefully I can keep injury free this season. 2010 injuries for me were: dislocated elbow, 5 broken ribs, broken collar bone and 6 stiches on my shin. Speaking of injuries........Hows married life treating ya? Just teasing Larry!

jk

Ha! I don't have that many broken bones... yet! She beats me up on a regular basis!


And no Standard? Come on Jeremy I thought you were better than that. LOL!

Standard?.............Teeheeeee.........I'm going over to the dark side with a GHP soon.

Getting serious about racing I see? That's awesome man! Hope to see you killing that Expert class!

Let's keep this thread going.

Some pics from Ray's last weekend.

Awesome Nemo. How is it up there. Looking to road trip it at some point.
