    hi tim, here is a update on my huffy (rebranded coast king) monoshock project...... about a week after I first watched your video I got my monoshock rideable and found some major problems with with it. All the hardware was worn out for the rear swing arm and the frame had a big crack where the seat post tube meets the bb. Me and my dad are going to weld a gusset to make the frame a little bit more reliable for the 15 year old and 59 year old teenagers that will be riding it! 🤣 my dad use to own a black and blue huffy thunder trail monoshock and used it as a fire road basher when he was a kid so it will be really cool to see him back on a bike similar to the one he use to own when he was a kid!

      They are Michelin Country Racer tires. 26 x 2.10. There appears to be about 1/4" space left on either side between tire and brake caliper. You might be able to run 26 x 2.2! It will be close! Thanks for watching!

    So much history here, thanks, gentlemen, and I agree because I was one, so many kids in California had parents from other states, mine were from Michigan and Ohio. But there was a great migration into California in the '60s and then, bingo, lots of kids became California kids and for me it was starting at age five in a trailer park in Coalinga, loved those kids and an older girl named Sherry even gave me her old pedal car and I always called it the Sherry Car. And then it was a move to Twin Peaks in San Francisco where I got a Schwinn Sting-Ray for my birthday during the Summer of Love and rode all over with my friends who taught me the fine art of zig-zagging up those steep streets and flying back down and skidding at the bottom. But kids moved away, too, and I did in late '74, we left Pacifica for Frankfurt, West Germany when BMX was becoming a thing in Northern California but O well, I was happy in Frankfurt on my bike, my thumbnail is me jumping my Sting-Ray in early '75 in Frankfurt. And for sure, the magazine coverage of the Yamaha Gold Cup played big in my imagination and that was an amazing thing about magazines, an ad or photo or cover became something cool forever. And I might have to get a Syndyt cruiser to be like Stuart and line up next to him to see if he still has his chops. That'd be fun, fun like racing up and down Donner Street in Fresno in '71 under that warm California sun. 😀

      @@RadMattic Thanks for your kind words and yes, it was great to be one of those kids who took it all seriously, speed and skills and thrills. And in Frankfurt, I rode my Sting-Ray and a 10-speed, then saw a little ad in Dirt Bike magazine for a mail-order CYC Stormer and by early '76, there I was on that bike in the Drake-Edwards Housing Area and beyond, Frankfurt had lots of gravel paths and lots of open dirt spaces, too. Plus I was street-legal on a 50cc Honda Dax, like the Honda Trail 70 in the States, and I bought a used '73 Maico 250 with my after-school commissary job money and thanks to that Maico I became friends with Herr Mueller, the local Maico dealer, and he told me that Marty Smith would be racing the 125 German GP and talk about unbelievable, I went from reading about Marty in all the magazines to seeing him before that '76 race in a lawn chair outside a tent like he was on a camping trip. And I brought along my Stormer and showed it to him and he said, yeah, it looked like what all the kids back home were riding. And talk about a sports superstar more more than living up to expectations, Marty was it, he was kind to me and the few other Americans at the track that day, everyone else was there for the Europeans and Gaston Rahier won that day, boo hiss, lol. And after that race, I rode a section of the course on my bike, not far but still, I rode my CYC Stormer on a GP track on race day, big fun. And for sure I will get a BMX Action T-shirt. I won my first bicycle road race in '75 in Frankfurt and I wore a brand-new STP T-shirt for the occasion. I had to look cool, or at least try, lol. Thanks again for stepping up to the microphone, these conversations are like a Garrison Keillor monologue about his mythical and beloved Lake Wobegon, where past and present mingle together as recollections and marvels and discoveries and anecdotes and smiles, tho' I don't recall him ever chatting about rent-a-wrecks. 😀

      Thanks for tuning in! Toby's story is legendary, and it’s great to see so many fans supporting him! Moto up? More like "Toby up!" His skills could probably make even a unicycle look cool!

    Are there any grassroots BMX programs? Is it all USABMX sanctioned?

    • @RadMattic
      @RadMattic Місяць тому

      Yes, there are several grassroots BMX programs that focus on building the sport at the community level. While USABMX sets the standards, many local organizations offer opportunities for riders of all ages and skill levels! Check with your local track first as a starting point. Here's some information about BMX Racing League; www.bmxracingleague.com/about-6

    Whatever happend to Jason Bruton from Diamondback?

      @RadMattic Місяць тому

      Jason Bruton? Last I heard, he was off somewhere perfecting the art of the perfect wheelie-maybe he's just too busy showing off! Seriously though, possibly someone reading these comments can fill us in on his whereabouts!

    The jingle, theme song, call it what you want ia just bad, the lyrics, key, execution. Let me try in my poor english express: just dump it. As good looking as the syndit frame: ugly.

    • @RadMattic
      @RadMattic Місяць тому

      Ouch! Sounds like the jingle needs a little more "tune-up" than I thought! Maybe we should hire a professional jingle surgeon! Funny though, on Christmas Eve our entire neighborhood was Christmas Caroling the town with the Super Rad BMX Jingle!

      Ah, the classic debate of locations! Maybe we should start a petition-"Bring Back Orange Y and Yorba Linda: The BMX Renaissance!"

    What bottom bracket was installed?

    • @RadMattic
      @RadMattic Місяць тому

      Great question! Thanks for your interest in the build. I used a Black Ops brand bottom bracket conversion kit with a Profile sealed bottom bracket and Profile cranks for this custom Klunker!
