I knew I would never throw that out! Missing cover but I remember it got pretty beat up and the staples are rusty. But overall it is not in bad shape for being like 22 years old! Anyone else still got this? I always wished it was bigger and more detailed, as when I took it with me it was tough matching it with the video, and some stuff seemed not to match what they were saying. I will have to check again. I hope find at least a few old Freestylin and BMX Plus/Action mags that hopefully did not get thrown out through moving. I still got all the VHS tapes and now the vintage DVD set from eBay. What a great set!

I got a re run copy of them last year from BMX Plus. I think Plus still does them? Not sure. They threw in some cool stickers too.

Yeah I ant the reprints, I still need book 2! I got the DVDS and tapes.

That's rad dude. I wish I could find my April '86 issue of BMX Plus! "Freestyle Spectacular," which was with me every day in my driveway afterschool for about a year, back then. I loved that issue. I keep hoping someone scans it in. The how-to's are great, and the pics.. amazing.

Yeah I had all of those issues, loved the how-tos. I was always worried about getting grease and dirt on the book, and I took care of well. I remember turning the pages with a stick on the clean part of the concrete lol. I hope I still have some old mags left, I know I threw a huge stack out years ago, but who would have thought I would be back riding 100% at 35?

LOL right on dude. What are you riding now.. did you finish up that GT?

Those were not re-prints. They found a big box out in the warehouse from the original printing.

Carruth,

Any boxes of the April 1986 "Freestyle Spectacular?" :-) I sooo need one.

Still working in the GT parts and it is in the shop getting powder coated. It should be really RAD when I am done with it, I am hoping sometime in July. The paint and all the parts alone are going to be about $600 mininum. I always said I wanted a GT and a Haro Master someday, but like I said never would have thought someday would be 20 years later. I am curently riding my Haro Master still. I wanted to get a new school bike for freestylin' but I do not care for the geometry of them, I will always be old- school. http://www.vintagebmx.com/community/index....7031956&hl=

I will be riding the GT primarily when it is done as I always disliked tose frame stands that are built into the Haro frames because they get in the way of the pegs. I may take it apart and store though and start a new project later with a Hutch Windstyler I found in awesome condition. This stuff is even more expensive now then it was back then when I had even less money!

I'd love a copy just for the photos. That takes me back.

My books arrived today! I am so glad I got these new and have an extra one noe for part 1. Can't wait to go through these again along with the DVDs I have. I feel like a kid again in 1987. Only took like 2 days all the way from CA to PA! I ordered late Friday. Wow!
