- I traveled to Taipei with Mike Devitt of SE Racing to get ready for the Taiwan Bicycle Show and this video was produced by the Dodson Factory to show what Freestyle BMX was to the factories.
Wow.....Great....Good times....💪🙏👁
So Rad! I love the pose and the one Taiwanese girl clapping right after, what a cool experience Taipei must've been in the 80s! I also, TOTALY want that awesome SE golf shirt that guy is wearing now too...Thanks Fred!
Awesome stuff! Back when they filmed RADtv. I remember you doing a decade in a mini golf course, and I literally learned that trick watching you over and over during that show. The commentator even said you give it that break dance look. Never forget it! Nice to see you again so many years later. What a treat! Thanks for this vintage goodness!
My gf was 3 years old and also in Taipei when this was filmed, cool to see the world she grew up in captured like this. And always love to see mag wheels in action. Too bad there was never a way to top a spoked wheel- I wonder how many kids got into BMX in the 80s boom just because those bikes looked so cool
Being a old school BMXer. Love the old school SE Bikes. Still have a SE Racing jersey. Had a Quadangle & PK Ripper both set up as freestyle bikes. Both with Standing Gear forks, SE Power Wing bars, Red line Flight cranks. Skyway Graphites on Quad & ACS Z rims on PK. And all the bolt on freestyle bits you could buy.
Mr Fred Blood Esquire!!... There's a name for you. A blast from the past!!!! Though just how really credible was he as a freestyle rider???
I remember religiously watching a video tape with him biking around the city with other guys, old school snowboarding, and half pipe skating. Wish I still had it!
Though this snippet of lost footage of Fred Blood is wonderful!!!!!!.... Great stuff!!
May 7th 1985.. that's my birthday! I turned 6!
I don't know what's better in this video - the tricks or the chicks! I hope you had fun (off camera)..
Cool Fred! I didn't know you did BMX as well. I remember you rollerskating in the Gale Webb demos and competing in vert CASL contests, that my brothers and I also skated in Gales demos and many contests.
Fred nice work it’s Marty Carter we had some great times hope all is well
Another great video!!Love watching the old tapes and how to videos.Not to mention great story's of your bmx carrier.I always kept you in the back of my mind.Every time I pull out the general I think of Fred.My favorite oldschool rider.

Blood kicks butt!!!
Your tricks are absolutely flawless and smooth. Unbelievable control.
Funny to see the engineers at the end, trying to figure out the gyro. Great riding there Freddy. This is a historical video, needs to be preserved. Thanks for posting this!
Looks like a great time for you and the crowd. Thanks for sharing Fred! Nice lawn mower, I still need to try that move your demo video made it look like somthing I could handle.
Incredible history you are sharing with us Fred. Keep it coming! Clarence
Incredible document, thanks for sharing.
This is awesome, thanks for sharing
A legend! In 85 we wanted to be Fred! Still riding my 85 expert, that I tricked out for freestyle. I had to work with what I had. Great vid!☝️
I seen you ride in Houston Texas at a AFA comp, I think 1986. I remember seeing you do mega spins and backside walk arounds
That's awesome bro... seems like yesterday. Glad you didn't get shot at ha
This video is so rad! Thanks for sharing Fred. I love the part at the end when the engineers were studying the rotor design. What chainwheel & crank were on the SE?
Ah the good ole 80s...before we got everything from China we got it from Taiwan. It seemed like everything said made in Taiwan! Good times!!
Great classic footage, and love that you have a Proformer. What is your serial number, Fred?
Whatever happened with your old Quadangle? Still have it?
So Rad
fred what happened at general that alot of people are negative of you about?

So that's the beginning of the fall of bmx manufacturing in America years later same country and the fall of mtb manufacturing 😂
