Thanks for posting this footage it means a lot to me to see these old runs
rickallison100 you’re welcome Rick! You had an awesome routine. It was rad that your tricks where in sync with the music
Rick, I look back on these old videos, and I think to myself, you were pretty dam good! Probably should have placed higher. Hell of a gut lever....
One of my heroes, growing up ❤
1987 - I was 13 and got my first GT Pro Performer...Blue w/ white mags. What an awesome time for BMX.
Exactly the same for me except I had light gray with everything else white. But the seat was gray. Turned out to be a very rare seat. It’s long gone now.
🤟 God how I miss those days. This is exactly what I was doing in 1987
Damn even the 80's bikes where bad ass beautiful and freakin' expensive... I remember having about 15 bikes from a few GT Performers ($600 ea.), Diamondbacks, Huffy's, etc... u name it! Best decade EVER....
With Flight Cranks, chrome Peregrine HP-48s, and a good stem and bars you're looking at over $1,000 in 1987 easily. Modern bikes are boring and all look the same, someone need to spice it up!
Martin is fun to watch. Thank you for posting the childhood memories.🤘
Steve Winwood playing in the background…. Those were the radical days lol
These guys have more tricks than the guys i see these days, very entertaining👌😁
This is so SICK!!!
BMX4LIFE! ✌🏾😎
Bmx history. Bring back 80's, early 90's Flat please. Vander, Martin, R. L., my childhood heroes ❤️
Dave Nourie got robbed! He did two of the sickest tricks ever!! That 360 Lawnmower at 11:59 was insane!!

The 80s were the best decade ever. I pity anyone that didnt grow up inthat era. I spent every teen year in the 80s
Martin riding the Predecessor of the GT Performer, the Pro Freestyle Tour, iconic bike
Still cool 35 years later. Thanks for sharing.
good job. im watching everything
.....back in the day....when we took 80's music for granted.....
All I listen too. Even today.
I particularly like Josh Whites bike
Miss everything about the 80s.
Classic! Rad! & Awesome Dude
80's were BMX and electric boogie time
Martin’s undertaker was sick.
Thanx for posting good old days !. Unfortunately Woody Itson ( Hutch ) wasn't there at the time. I had CP Hutch Trick Star back in the day.
Bike I had when I stopped riding in 88 was a Redline frame all GT everything else and Zrims. Wish I could go back to those days. Was so fun and I didn’t even know how fun it was.
I used to practice these tricks for hours listening to the beastie boys !
I'm glad I still have that exact same Haro from all those years ago.
RL took a well deserved 1st place, he rocked his routine from start to finish.
Fred Blood deserves more respect than anyone in this video.
Martin aparijo, still my favorite freestyler. Great personality on a bike.👍👍
Crazy how high we used to keep our seats before 2000
Flatlanders actually use their seats, to this day most use them at a rather high position.
Pretty amazing riding considering how new the sport was. Still difficult to this day.
It really is!
Dave Nourie win!!!
VALEU thanks SHOW 👏🏻👏🏻
You don't see many of these old tricks being done by modern riders seems like in the 80's 70% of kids could at least do several different tricks and now probably 70% are to lazy to even ride a bike
Theres a lot of new flatland … its a lot smoother these days and many different tricks strung together… modern flatland is much more fluid . Although I’m an 80’s kid.. modern flatland is pretty amazing on its own
Its crazy to think how much Flatland changes the very next year once Kevin Jones and the plywood hoods are on the Scene...For examples there is no hitchhiker, hang 5 , steam roller or whiplash yet...then Boom every thing changes..
You are so right. I went to a contest in 88 and all the front rolling tricks blew my mind. Hang nothings, hitch hikers, multiple whiplashes, death trucks, and one kid could do rolaids. Changed my world. I love flatland to this day. Bought a fish bone bmx in 99 that I still have. Wish I had still had my GT pro freestyle tour that I rode in the late 80"s
80s I love you
GENERAL HUSTLER PRO
ummmmm, why is there even a dislike button ?
this video is pure gold !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Here’s something random... I thought Robert Peterson was running a straight TRP “The Handler” seat post, but it not on this bike...
♫♫♫♫😳😊😳😊😳
Still amazes me that Josh White was the only person to not use pegs,imagine if he did,lol
I liked DAVE NOURIE, and everyone.
Pete!
Great video man, thanks for sharing that.
Nice I had a pink hutch trick star back in the day
I would have had a guns and roses song if I was in the contest.
I think that they were not yet known at the time of this event. Would have been cool though.
What bike was Dave Van der Spek riding ?
Boss “pro freestyler”
One thing is for sure, I didn't realize they were riding freecoaster hubs this early in the sport.
I never noticed that. I think Nourie and Wilkerson were riding coaster brakes. Who did you see with a free coaster?
I guess to be fair, I only noticed that their pedals weren't going backwards, so it's totally possible that they were just riding coaster brakes. That would certainly make a lot more sense. I just tried to watch the rider at 4 minutes or (Rob Peterson it sounds like the announcer is saying), but I can't see if they ever pedaled backwards. They certainly had a coaster hub because they clearly go backwards on several occasions, but I can't tell if it's a coaster brake or not.
@@onzie9 R.L. Osborn was already riding the then new R.L.Edge hub by ACS which was the first standalone freecoaster alloy hub. Ron Wilkerson was riding the ACS Freecoaster mechanism, designed to work with suntour coaster brake hub guts,which would enable the rider,via two knobs, to switch back and forth from freewheel to coasterbrake, but, the freewheel option had the "freecoasting" function of not having the pedals pedal backwards, stemming from this idea, the R.L. Edge hub abovementioned was spawned, the Freecoaster adapter for suntour hubs had been available since late 1985. It has been a long way to achieve reliable freecoasters, but these were the first two options.
This was before pegs were invented?
No, we had pegs in 87
No
Amazing video 👍
Thank you 👍
@@frankfranco5o Yes we did!! They were just really small.. I miss that!
Nourie got ripped .. ha .. great vid
This video was bodaciously cool
those guys were doing spinning moves on there bikes back in the 80s
What is that icet song?
very nice
Sano
Scotty Cranmer gotta inspire his guys to do this
