You are spot on! Toy Machine is from the early 90's and have deep roots in skateboarding. Huff was started by Keith Hufnagel who is a respected skateboarder who sadly passed away a couple of years ago.
The best colab bikes are the old brand colabs to have a pro rider pro level signature model. Premium with a bunch of demo parts. Or vice versa. They never really made enough of them though.
The 'rarification factor' adds to the long term accrued value aswell because after a few years, of those 100 'limited addition specials', some got used, abused and trashed, dinked and kinked, some got scrapped, others are lost and forgotten to time or rusting away in some dead guys loft etc; and if yours is still in great 'showroom condition' then its value will only increase to many times its original value given enough time.
I turned a Dimondback vortex into a Sunday. Cost me only of Sunday stickers and spaypaint. Sold it for $250.00. I did it to prove a point to my friends. I even told the person what it was and they didn't care.
Ive been skateboarding forever and I ride a giant gravel bike but have been wanting to get a hardtail and start mtn biking too, cutting my own trails etc. But now Im thinking I want a bmx too so I could learn on that. I think doing 180s, riding fakie etc would be easier on a bmx than leanring on a mtn bike.
I had a 1981 Schwinn King Sting Bmx Cruiser in the 90s was like $400.00 It got jacked from me.. Now it's like $3.500.00 blew my mind how much it is now a days. Custom-made bikes are well worth the price and selling parts individually is the worst thing to do..
My problem with this is that they're made to be moneygrabs by design, I respect a lot more a Schwinn Stingray that's all ridden and beat up because it still exists rather than having a fng bike with a supreme sticker that was made with the purpose of holding a supreme sticker.
Schwinn Scrambler enters the chat and agrees . I was working at a bike shop in 1999 and the most common question was , which bike is the best ? My reply was , it's the one that gets ridden. Then I would have to explain that yes Hoffman makes an excellent bike yet if it doesn't get ridden and a Kent from Walmart does then the Kent is better . It may not be near as good in quality yet because it gets enjoyed it becomes better than a Hoffman. I've ridden motorcycles all of my life , and I'm old . I've had probably 40 motorcycles ? None of them was a Harley. I've been ragged on alot by Harley riders . I had my $1,100 Honda Areo parked next to my buddies $18,000 dollar Harley and his wife couldn't distinguish the difference . She asked him why his bike costed so much compared to mine . He said , baby it's a Harley . He didn't buy a motorcycle, he bought a name .
I've dabbled with dragsters, 4x4s, hot rods, choppers, bobbers, I still like working on my bmx the most. I am obsessed with squeezing every bit of performance I can out of it. Plus it's way cheaper to hot rod bikes then cars.
I dont Necessarily mean is it higher end than the regular devotion I get that it's got a few parts that come exclusively with that huf model, but is it a good bike worth buying if I can get it for $500 ? I'd really appreciate your feedback on it before i go ahead and buy it , especially cause I can't find any review on it at all and I've searched allover for a review of this cult x huf 20" bike.. this is the only video online that even showed it
Yes and no. Yes, because it's a unique bike, but no because most people won't give a damn. They don't understand the value of the bike and it's components. They look at a Walmart bike that cost $150 at the most and then they'll look at you bike that will be between $1,500 - $2,000 and be like, why so much, it's just a bike.
They're just regular cult match rims ,with chrome and gold colors, it looks dope as f imo and I'll probably grab it once it's on sale for under $500 ,They're online right now for $700 it's definitely a fly looking bi k e the cult x huf put out ,bit not sure it's as limited as 150 there's probably more like 500-1000 of them out there
Tbh the hype thing is kinda cool. I like the collector aspect of it all, but they do over price it way to much:/ but i cant complain cause i have a custom built cult dak frame, which cost way to much. Only top line parts. Its not a collab type build but i get spending tons of money on high end overpriced things like that.😂😊
Of course its worth the money if you support the collaborating sides... and I don't see cost... I see investment! I got a Dahon Mariner D8 a few years back and that's gone up in value and if I take care of her who knows what she'll fetch...
You are spot on! Toy Machine is from the early 90's and have deep roots in skateboarding. Huff was started by Keith Hufnagel who is a respected skateboarder who sadly passed away a couple of years ago.
The slayerxsubrosa collaboration was epic. The color scheme was awesome. I picked up one of the balance bikes for my kid.
Best channel that talks about BMX in general.

Like those Netflix show theme bmx bikes you see in stranger things but for sale cheap

That Toymachine collab is actually really cool and doesn't seem terribly overpriced tbh
Best collaboration subrosa/shadow The hundreds. ❤
Sunday used to be a skateshop in buffalo ny, they had a bmx side a skate side, sadly the skateshop closed
I like to make counterfeits to fool the masses, I have fox stickers on my Walmart fork. saved $1200.

love Phu,
awesome guy.
its like the Maui and Sons collab with Epic Bmx that resulted in your tee shirt. If Maui and Sons was aware of it, that is.
I had a 1981 Schwinn King Sting Bmx Cruiser in the 90s was like $400.00 It got jacked from me.. Now it's like $3.500.00 blew my mind how much it is now a days. Custom-made bikes are well worth the price and selling parts individually is the worst thing to do..
You guys inspired me to make a few videos of my bikes. Good lookin out
Great example is haro releasing the Steve caballero red dragon beach cruiser….
My friend has a Cult x Rockstar limited edition bike only 100 made he bought 2 of them and he’s selling one it’s mint condition
Please dont say "hypee" 😂😂. Joking aside, Phu spitting facts!
Sunday pro completes are HYPE👍👍
Those boots 😂
We need some dad&son collab.... the Epic Phu Air Max 💲💲💲
sounds like the Mandolorian GT big bmx it looks cool but I will get a regular one to get more features like a disc brake
Man That's a badass bike
My problem with this is that they're made to be moneygrabs by design, I respect a lot more a Schwinn Stingray that's all ridden and beat up because it still exists rather than having a fng bike with a supreme sticker that was made with the purpose of holding a supreme sticker.
The sticker cost $1,500. That's why it's so much.

Phu you have the hks supercharger for the 4age? What you running your 4age in?
RIP Keith Hufnagle
It's the same thing as having Gucci, Louis Vuitton, Fendi...etc collab. It's all branding.
I've dabbled with dragsters, 4x4s, hot rods, choppers, bobbers, I still like working on my bmx the most. I am obsessed with squeezing every bit of performance I can out of it.
Plus it's way cheaper to hot rod bikes then cars.
Your text remind me a bit of the song with, David Allan Coe - Panheads Forever
@@passenger-rider DAC forever. That song rules
What do you think of the Redline Asset 24? I just turned 30 and ordered one to get back into riding after a long hiatus 😅
I thought it was a collaboration of a Huffy bike
The creature se was sick af back in 2014. No other creature bike collabs
Was that the ugly AF 2016 24" green skyway mag bike.....lol.
That bike was awesome ya dumb boot
i used to have a huffy
Is the Huf Collab bike any good?? Thinking about getting one
Trying to findout the same thing, I want it but wanna know if it's still a good quality bike other than just the hype factor
@@thinkb4uspeak643 reminds me a little bit of the old school Dyno bikes from the 90's. Just unfortunate they are about to be sold out completely
So is the 20" cult x huf bike considered a high-end/quality bike .it defi looks dope but is a good bike outside of its 🔥 look ?
I dont Necessarily mean is it higher end than the regular devotion I get that it's got a few parts that come exclusively with that huf model, but is it a good bike worth buying if I can get it for $500 ?

What up 😎🤘
Style cat Phu
So do you think that making a pro build bike now and keeping it would be a good investment like the old school bikes are now ?
Yes and no. Yes, because it's a unique bike, but no because most people won't give a damn. They don't understand the value of the bike and it's components. They look at a Walmart bike that cost $150 at the most and then they'll look at you bike that will be between $1,500 - $2,000 and be like, why so much, it's just a bike.
nice bike
In my opinion, collab products are a waste of money for the normal consumers unless the item increases the quality/performance.
I really dislike the supreme brand
How come Stranger has never done a Collab with anyone?
Schwinn/Orange County Chopper
are the rims any good??
They're just regular cult match rims ,with chrome and gold colors, it looks dope as f imo and I'll probably grab it once it's on sale for under $500 ,They're online right now for $700 it's definitely a fly looking bi k e the cult x huf put out ,bit not sure it's as limited as 150 there's probably more like 500-1000 of them out there
Hype swagger.
Collective addition keeps the market interesting 👌
Tbh the hype thing is kinda cool. I like the collector aspect of it all, but they do over price it way to much:/ but i cant complain cause i have a custom built cult dak frame, which cost way to much. Only top line parts. Its not a collab type build but i get spending tons of money on high end overpriced things like that.😂😊
Can you make a list of all the parts?
I wanna go to this shop! Where is it!
It’s like buying retro Jordan’s you don’t buy them to wear every day you buy them cuz of what they are and a lot of people want them
Just get s&m
shwag😂
Nike would not be what it is today with out MJ
What's your online store address
Of course its worth the money if you support the collaborating sides... and I don't see cost... I see investment!
I got a Dahon Mariner D8 a few years back and that's gone up in value and if I take care of her who knows what she'll fetch...
No
I don't know what Hype is....
'Lo key Hypebeasting merch'😅😂😂
Bruh supreme wheels ? Wtffff
SWAG orignated in the 60's meaning Secretly We Are Gay... Just sayin.
Yeah, I think Mick Jagger coined that term.
Bro that’s the types of bikes you buy and put away for 20 or 30 years and then pull that thing out in mint condition
$$$$$ boy
I had an opportunity to buy that same huf bike at my local shop just didn’t have quite enough
Thanks bud 👍 for keeping us financially Educated ! Regardless of how bad it gets on the economy , I still make over $ 13,000 every single week ...
That's awesome!!! I know nothing about investment and I'm thinking of getting started What are your strategies ?
This must be an investment with Mrs Linda Raschke.
Please how can I reach out to her? i so much needs her services right now!

I’ll take a set of UKAI Speedlines and Redline 401’ 185 single pinch full wraps over any other rims, and cranks. They are the standard!👍🏼👍🏼
