People from around the world still email me about my contribution to the freestyle world and many have indicated that I should be named to this prestigious club. Let's consider the following:

- I, along with a very small handfull of vintage freestyle illuminati, built the foundation for the vintage freestyle scene. We took a very important aspect of cycling and created new interest in a dead scene. Our ability to look into the past and foster a resurgence of design, community, and respect for a forgotten history is unparalleled in this industry.

- Built the greatest vintage freestyle collection......ever.

- My collection has single handidly been the most recognized and awarded collection at Rockford (nobody has or will be able to win as many Best in Shows). I only name Rockford because it's the only credible show in the vintage scene, the rest (especially those on the west coast) are just nice gatherings.

- My love of the scene has inspired countless present day companies to re-release, reproduce, and/or re-create vintage freestyle inspired products.

To honor every future recipient of the best in vintage freestyle award (to be renamed the Twintoptuber Excellence in Design Award), their name would be inscribed on a beautiful silver trophy to be shared with next year's winner much like the Stanley Cup.

Absolutely!

What, no cyclometer?

Sure man! You should get in!

Ooops, fixed that for ya James.

You do realize that it's not the ABA BMX Hall of Fame anymore don't you?

You also need to be elected by your peers. You can't vote yourself in.........

You gotta consider who we're talking bout here.

this thread is full of lol'z.

hey, the gold trading forum is not here. beat it kid, ya bother me......

This is going to be fun to follow

No. None of your bikes have had good enough bunnyhopping geometry or the requisite speedometer.

AND they are too heavy.

hahaha...james is the best! loling out here in cali!!!

oh and james, vintagefreestyle.com appears to be offline...

Anyone can reproduce a bike from pictures? I wonder if eggo waffles were as egotistical as your ego James. They certainly are delicious waffles but still there just a waffle....like you...with lots of squares!

Man, ol James sure knows how to do a once a year drive by.

Last years "retro copies" he was gonna make went epic. I'm pretty sure some people were crying while typing.

Blob,

If that's the case, why do you insist on building such turds? I'm not picking on you and your disability, but I couldn't count the times I thought about traveling to Florida to fix your builds after you posted pics. After my initial burst of generousity (I mean, WoW! for you that you would get the opportunity to build with a future Hall of Famer), I always took a step back and thought, "Twin, you know everyone is just going to think you're cocky so let the Franken-bikes be Franken-bikes."

What I also find odd is how you constantly follow me around the bmx community. However, this is the very definition of a Hall of Famer..................

The fans
Being admired for your accomplishments
To transcend all of the other builds and envy

Now in my retirement, I embrace your dedication to my vintage existance. Without you and so many other fans, I wouldn't be Hall of Fame worthy.

Greg Hill still hasn't recovered from it all. Last I heard, he was canvassing every Asian factory threatening to sue them if they fabricated the Anita Hill model. Still don't understand what my products had to do with his poorly designed dinosaurs.

Truth be told, my last build, the GHP Trix was my favorite. Attach a clear chain guard and some reflectors and I would feel like a kid again riding that scoot.



As per the terms of my corporate buyout, I had to walk away from the site.

your the man , james

James is aces in my book...anything I ever needed he obliged when able. Not to mention a great guy in person...

still laughing. hold on...ok...James I really was hoping you were going to comment....I’m so glad you did......and just wondering why you went into "retirement" did you run out of bikes to copy and build? Just a thought? Also your so called Franken bikes that I have done!....I’m not sure of what all you mean unless your talking about some of your first builds like your Haro and the later VDC....but that’s cool...the only crazy builds I really ever did were done with whom I thought had talent Lou...thanks for the paint jobs! James please don’t go and dog his work now! The fact that you and a few others here glorified someone’s Powder coating ability....Wow talk about kiss axing.....Come on James when in a fight bring a gun because you from the looks of it ...all your lacking is training wheels.....you already have the chain guard and reflectors...just need an oversized helmet for your bobble head!

If your just looking to get arise out of the community that’s so like James and I know from knowing you personally this is what you are looking for….You must be board at home with the fake career that you aspire to have. If I’m wrong than PLEASE except my humble apologies from the BOTTOM of my REDLINE 401 dimpled spindle and Heart, don’t forget the phone calls you and I had about many ideas …way before you and others put them into motion…..Think about it James…I’m really the only reason you keep coming around! That’s why you commented on my comment and I thank you for your appreciation.

So Cheers to you twin top bunk bed wetter….And don’t forget your Detrol.

That pic is priceless

DYNO-Dick...

You will always be a Dick. Deal with it.

Your old friend

pep

hahaha, Pep.

That pic has great photoshop potential.

You have my vote James lol.

i love it when the mindless fall for James' needling...classic stuff!

Pep! How goes it my militia brother???

Derek!!! Hows things??

And I quote......Nothing else needs to be said…EXCEPT….The Mindless Morons have spoken you guys are like the classic little click in High school you know the ones with the parents that bought them everything because they really never had time for there children and now you all have these social anxiety issues with your adult life...I just hope that you don’t pass to your children the sad psychological neglect that made you the bunch of under achievers that you are, BUT there is some good that has come from you meager existence You all have James to thank for turning you all into band Wagoner’s you see James was the originator of this...lol you guys even post pictures of your pseudo hero....Thanks Pep...at least you know what kind of Bike I still have! How’s your finances Jack ass! lol


Oh and djbdb ....not mindless just sticking up for the people that actually like the hobby for what it is, unless your one of the ones that call James a friend than your just as much of a band Wagoneer as コショウ

Hahahaha, emotional "I want to be like you guys" meltdown. I have a sneaky feeling that you belonged to the Lambda fraternity. I'm told by U.N. Jefferson that Blob is not in the photo because he's taking the pic:



Thanks for the vote support guys, let's do this for next year!

James are you sure thats not you in the back row third in from the left...almost identicle hair styles.

Ok....well good luck with the votes James.

heh, heh...

oh the drama.

I found a bike today. 88 pro performer frame in chrome on craigslist for $160. Got it for $25

FreeEnterprise at work. gonna do a bath on it. any tips?

Oh, and this was on there... too rich for my blood, but maybe someone here would like it.

http://cincinnati.craigslist.org/bik/1624938295.html

have you ever even met him? if you have then you would know hes pulling your chain, genius...

oh, and just for info i have busted my ass for everything i ever got in this life. My parents were not rich by any means. And as far as your inference that im an under acheiver...we can compare paychecks whenever you want.Oh, and I'll put any of my builds up against any of yours for a vote of the forum here ANY DAY...

or anyone who owns a computer

i met james once, and he was a super nice guy...ive never had problems with him.

I thought I sensed a "disturbance in the force". I had a strange urge to check in after months away. It just so happens to coincide with the annual James' "stirring of the pot" thread.

I love it!

My bikes all have cyclometers on them now, collecting has come full circle James. Gone are the days when a BMX bike can be displayed without the ubiquitous "bike computer". Don't get me started on the bunnyhops.

James has my vote! Hands down!

Is that what you look like when you're passing a crazy chain?

Hey James, I'm still waiting for you to return the parts that you borrowed on the Pink Trickstar, VDC and GHP. Please let me know when your done with them so I can keep an eye out!!!!

OMG....LOL

All I want to know is...... has anyone got some redline bars for sale?

That was a JOKE!

PS

James, I really should have listened to you about a couple things.......My portfolio is not looking as good as it could have. I left lots of money at the table.
