Talking about those swatches reminded me to look at my stickers again.
I put a 2 hip and swatch team sticker on ebay last night if anyone wants em.

Hmmm, never thought about doing a bar endo one footed like that...very cool!
hot shorts...whoa,, but the Haro shirt... yeah
Now THOSE are shorts that'd make Rick proud:
Who wears short-shorts?
Strike wears...

Those are great pics. Thanks again for sharing. A few of me I haven't posted in a while:

Man axlepeg, you had the skills back in the day! Great shots, feel free to post more, if you have 'em!
Here is one of me circa 82-83, on my backyard halfpipe. Short-shortin and gettin it flat.
OK. Here we go.
GT Pro Performer - Roughly 1985
GT Pro Performer (same bike, with additions) - 1986
Note the Haro basball cap
Hutch Trick Star - 1988
I know the action isn't as good as you other guys, but it's all I got.

OMG I was just watching some old video of myself when I realized what I was riding.
I sold my 89 haro master and was riding a friends old quadangle frame. Little did I know at the time that it was a LOOPTAIL! Boy do I feel dumb now. Here's a shot from that video.

I know I had a Black Quadangle for awhile in the mass of parts in my garage...wish I knew where it was now! Oh well, got a PK ripper comin, thats ALMOST as good......although kinda miss my old trick star 1 and the trick star/styler!
Anyways, Hey everybody! 1st post of many to come! Nice to find a new home on the web!

Hey Boyz... I have the Quadangle!!! It remains in an undisclosed location in my basement!
BTW. I believe that was a gummi worm toss... that was contest was very low budget. (Couldn't afford stickers) If you look close enough you'll see the KOP holdin' a gummi... http://www.vintagebmx.com/cgi-bin/ultimate...=3;t=005608;p=3

OMG he's alive! Nice to see you posting on here. I'll be throwing up some shots of you VERY soon! BTW, give me the Quadangle. That is all.
Ok, since he's here and he's bragging about having the looptail quad in his basement...I'll post some pics of him. Here's a series of "Railroad Ty" shots.

Ty getting some major air here...into a huge sandpile.

Scott got us into the aerobics room of a local racquet club. Ty's in the foreground with Scott in the background, wishing he could do flail boomerangs.

This shot has "poser" written all over it...but he actually pulled this backside walkover.

Here he's stretching a cowboy to the limits, another trick that looks like it's not going to be pulled...but he actually landed this.

Finally a shot of him actually posing.

Ty and I, messing around with a double wedge ramp dropovers.

Great pictures. You guys were definitely good riders. Did you guys compete in any of the AFAs when they were going on or get any coverage in the magazines back then? Seems like you had a pretty good sized group of riders.

quote:Thanks Jeff! We were pretty decent for the time period, but college took it's toll on our riding. We all basically split up and didn't ride together much after 1989. We had some contests up around Minneapolis that we competed in, the series was called the Midwest Freestyle Series or "MFS". None of us from Southeastern Minnesota ever competed in any national contests (that I'm aware of), but a few riders from the MFS contests ended up being pretty well known. Krt Schmidt, Marty Schlessinger, Trevor Meyer and Tom Haugen immediately come to mind.

That Fred Blood thing was nothing personal, you understand. Just looked like the VSW ad is all...not that there's anything wrong with that...
I gotta ask. You definately hung out with someone who was into photograghy/cinematogograhphy or somesuch thing. Who gets props for all these great pics?

I don't think anyone will be offended by your Fred Blood comment, Fred had his moments...if anything, he was photogenic.
Thanks for the props on the pictures, I'm sure everyone who took them will be stoked to hear their skills are appreciated. I'll go back and put the photographer's name after each pic I've posted, that way you can get an idea who took what. If I don't know or don't remember who took the picture, I'll leave a question mark and maybe someone can tell me who took it.
Oh and BTW, I lied...I found ANOTHER FEDORA picture. That one will come in time.

Blue & grey Skyway Street Beat in all but the first picture. Can't find any pics of me on the green Skyway Street Styler.
Note my Converse All-Stars. I always wanted the Vision Street Wear that looked like All-Stars but had little bats all over them. I couldn't afford them, so I'd buy All-Stars at Woolworth's for $7 and draw bats all over them with a Sharpie.
"Look at how casually I can remove my hand as I perform this daring stunt!"
Once again I appear to be astonishing myself with the ease with which I am doing this trick. Or perhaps I am just amazed by the awful 80's cut of the jean jacket I am wearing. Nice lapels.
Sweet beret, dork.
Pay close attention to my amazing tight-rolled pants.
Close your mouth!
Who the hell says you can't wear a black turtleneck sweater with bleach-splattered jeans? I do what I want.
Coasting Caboose/Stick B. Then Kevin Jones invented the Hitchiker and ruined my life.

Guav, those are some awesome shots and tricks! That wall ride shot is fantastic.
Axlepeg, I want to take this moment to tell you that back on page 4, you posted some super dope pictures! I especially like the black and white "shadow" shot.

Fortunately, this was the only other picture I could find of myself in a fedora. Dig those Vans though...and that bike...w00t!!
The other guy (Jon) was primarily a ramp rider on our freestyle team before life caught up with him and he decided to call it quits.

All these cool pics in this thread are just so, um...cool. I like Guav's in B/W. Wish I had more B/W, though I'm sure that's a piece of cake in Photoshop or whatever.

oh wow......makes me long for my skinny days again! I need to scan some of my pics and send em in! I have what was probably the entire Rochester contigent of riders(like 10-12) at that time lined up in front of my house before we went to that gravel/sand jump that TY was launching over a few posts back! The Freak squeek pic is KILLER man, I may have to make that my desktop! BTW, I know Im in the minority, but that top funky chx pic made me miss my TRICK STAR II!! I loved the way it handled for Flatland!
p.s. What was the deal with me sticking my toungue out? I think everybody should send in their pics of them where they are making goofy faces mid-trick...I seem to remeber that sAC used to puff out his cheeks like a blowfish everytime he would do a hopping or scuffing move!

I akways used to jam my tongue into my left cheek when I wasn't "posing" for a picture, so most of the candid pics of my riding look like I have a giant gumball in my cheek haha
Yeah Blat, you are right. I have pics of me catching air with both cheeks blown open!!! lol Wow! This thread keeps getting better and better. So blat, I hear that you have some Woody Itson bars?
I would LOVE to find my original pair of Woody bars for one of my resto bikes!

Like I should talk...my motto used to be "I can do any variation below coping." At one point I was doing old school no handers, no-footer one-handers and almost landed a tailwhip below coping. Someone should have taken pics of that!
here's me from 1985
check the width on the bars. i wasn't getting x'ed up for NO ONE!
i'm aboard this beast:
an '85 Fox Fourstyler. it was a good bike, back in the day. I think it was UK only though. Made from reynolds 531, with Aero Zytecs.

I have no idea how structurally sound that frame design is, but it sure cool! From the big long gusset (with holes) between the top tubes to the perfectly horizontal nature of the top tubes. It reminds me of a quadangle, only in reverse.
it was kinda like a bike called a "trm" freestyle we used to get in the uk back then. they were uk made. that frame lasted 2 years, then it cracked where the seat tube pierced a ****y thin plate that was between the top tubes.
the best thing about it was the low top tube. i could rock no foot cancan endos all day.

Oh yeah, I recall seeing pictures of those in FREESTYLIN' I believe. Very cool.
I've got the run of FSN' mags, Strike. I don't think there's any Fourstylers or TRMs in it. I think those both look pretty cool. ORB has a nice one; minty green, but he hasn't been around here latley...got his own UK BMX site, and all.
Maybe you're thinkin' of the PTR Freestyler, from Germany:

you know we always considered mags would flex more than spoked wheels, but look at that photo. It looks like those z rims are flexing more. Strange.
