14 and over

Legend ❤

Since covid everything has gone way out of sight

SHIT TALK SBOUT ABOUT HARRY LOL ... BALD HEAD JOHNNY LOL ..

Hubbard BMX Raceway blew my mind. We had a uphill finish ❤

The Sting ❤

That era of frames were not as strong as later versions as well, my first frame lasted about 6 months before cracking at the head tube/top tube.

Rudy Torres (GT team mngr) handed Andy and I the first laid back posts at the Lumberjack Nats in 1981, as well as the first pair of GT Pro bars. AND, the first Shimano DX pedals.

Naw, take it from someone who was spending 5K a month on advertising in 1984… you get magazine coverage because of the ad spend from your sponsors. Simple as that.

There was real characters in bmx racing back then and crazy ronnie was top of the tree❤

Remember that bunny hop onto that ledge wow that was high ,ain't sure it's been beat

I have a pair of his Bottoma forks, Redline straight crossbar bars (raw), and a set of Redline Forklifter chrome bars. The build quality is just ok (Actually the fork has really nice welds). But I choppered the fork with one disaster on my mini ramp. So, theres that. The bars however, have held up well to what my 56 year old body can dish out on street and ditch spots. That said, I'd never buy another pair of his forks. But plan to get an RL 20II frame from him, build it with parts intended to ride, and plan to ride it into the ground, however long or short that takes. I appreciate his products for what they are, and wouldn't pretend that they're anything better than that. As well, i understand the problem some have with him. Ultimately, we aren't his target market. Great video, btw. Cool to see what to expect frame-wise. Thanks for sharing your experience!

The sting was 600 bucks frame and forks in 79 they were limited 1per schwinn shop

Some good BMX History ..

You guys talking smack about Harry, but nobody wants to rember Stu on a bad start would cause a wreck before the first obstruction to get a restart

Kevin McNeil used a schwenn two speed kick back hub specially at Corona where he got the name Corona kid. Last person to switch to a freewheel once he was found out.

I have a beautiful Huffy Primus it’s just amazing

I was a corner marshall and some of those tricks are marked "intentional"

great show, thanks. I race 55-60 cruiser in Akron Ohio, used to ride for JAG back in 83 on their first trick team

Seeing big trev Robinson at Birmingham wheels bmx track in the uk on a sat morning he was on the gate with me doing gate practice I was blown away even in 1982 big trev was 6/4 tall built like a boxer to see him racing around a track on a 20inch bmx was omg

I used to see factory riders like Stu Thompson show up at Azusa all the time

Love the back and forwards between you guys with the information. Keep it it going. Love it

My Birthday is what's happening 😂

My buddy had a CW and I hated the way it handled. I had a Skyway which I absolutely loved. Also remember liking the Diamond Back Turbo a lot. Had the CW pro bars though and liked those.

Great show Kev, thanks for the invite. Always fun !

Race Inc. was the bike in my neighborhood as a kid

Can you do a story on NoCal BMX? I began racing at 6 years old because of Richie and Ronnie Anderson’s dad working at Mare Island with my dad. As a kid I went to a couple races with them. I was in awe at Vallejo PAL track with Anderson’s and Patterson’s and the other many iconic riders out of NoCal. So much major talent came from that area. I only made it to expert and was more into football. But still won over 100 trophies racing there and WA and TX.

Good point. He was always popular due to those center magazine ads for Diamond Back. But I don’t recall him winning much.

For the love of BMX

At the beginning of the year I bought a 1984 NOS F&F Harry Leary Turbo with box for £3000. Would I devalue it by building it up do you think?

I was 12 in' 1984. Might as well been on Mars, instead of tiny town , Michigan. Still an awesome story. I dont feel 52, listening. 😂

Frank post rode browning

He won a couple AA Vet pro titles HL forever

I’m sorry tobey was your fav lol That hutch sucked Boss all day Patterson

Yeah, it’s a great story.

Awesome story 👍

Never understood the attraction to GT. Redline Profile Hutch Patterson was my obsession 🤗

Two legends talking BMX. Takes me right back there.

I had a Blue Max I in the mid 1980's I liked it a lot. . A lot of my friends had them as well.

I understand your frustration because I'm going through the same thing as you but with the difference that the manufacturer is a native from the USA, with 40 years in the market and it's been 3 years and they still haven't given me my frame, fork and seat post. I have all the payments supported, I have all the conversations from the first day and lies after lies from the manufacturer, the anger that it gives is to see that they continue making parts for others and one's is never ready. after seeing your video these days I will take down the video of this scammer from the USA..... the only thing in your case is that you should not call it fake because we have always been aware that the purchase is an imitation similar to the original but not the same ok but for the rest you are completely right, besides it is unforgivable that I sent a Haro fork... for God's sake... is there no surveillance in the shipment? note that with your video I will no longer ask Mr. BMX for anything because I do not want to suffer anymore due to bad practices of these manufacturers. The last thing is that if you plan to sell the CW, let me know. Very good video

For the price it may seem a good option, but before you jump the gun, consider these few things: These are Steel, never been praised for the weld quality, the lead times, the powder quality, the additional cost to source the decals and the communication difficulties…. Even for a display only set, is kind of a lot to deal with no? 😬

Great show. Interesting and informative.

Does the guest have a name?

RIP Harry

Probably better than the original. SE was always junk

My first time seeing a BMX race was at Covina Valley. I don't know the year but I was very young. Great time with my dad. Awesome video great content👍 RiP 🙏 Harry Leary

This is...fantastic.

Born in Orange. Grew up in San Marcos across the street from Bob Haro. Then my friends bought Haro & then went on to start Mirraco with Dave. Small world. Out here we refer to SO CAL as the Tragic kingdom.

What material were these fake frame made of. Chromoly or just mild steel
