As an old guy I'm stoked to see this. For 20 years I've been frustrated with videos being dismissed as "old school" or people just commenting on the bikes or clothes. They don't see the riding. I'm glad these guys took the time, and risk, to understand what was going on back then.

I was 18 in 89 and I think the clothes were goofy as fck.... my mom bought me my first proper bmx in 1983... still riding!

I freestyled back then, I'm now 50, think about this....the bikes were on average about 10 pounds heavier. I still have my 1985 Redline RL-20 Prostyler, and it feels like a beast compared to the new bikes; so while our tricks might seem "simple" we were lifting, spinning, pushing a lot more weight overall. It was a great video. It was nice to see those moves recreated. RAD!!!

I’m 42 and in my growing up years I had a BMX but I could never do any tricks. Not even a bunny hop. I would just ride around, always envious of the dudes you could do and endos and whips and stuff. You should try to track down the guys in those VHS tapes and do a video interview. Also good to see you all wearing helmets, that’s one thing that Anthony Panza and his crew doesn’t do. At the end of the day safety is first

Even being a late 90s kid, I feel this. I don't mean the expensive part but the difficulty was there. First you had to find someone who had a video camera, then convince them to let you borrow it. That was hard. Even when I was a bit older in the early 2000s and camera phones were available, you still had to find someone who had one that recorded video where you still only got 30s worth of video, max. Then convince them to give up their £300 mobile phone to a group of kids which usually resulted in one of us getting embarrassed because our parents would only agree if they could record the video for us lol

Awesome video looks like a lot of fun. I'm 35 and live near Pittsburgh pa and I used to ride an s&m Bennett and I had a standard trailboss 250. There was a young man that went semi pro that was sponsored by standard byke co. And he would do insane gaps and would manual for several blocks. I was eager to learn this stuff as it looked so fun. I learned many of the street tricks, gaps ,feeble grinds, double peg grinds on guardrails first then we found some lower handrails. I could do big gaps and manual and I was good at hitting dirt jumps. Then life got in the way and I had no health insurance so i quit. Don't let a worry decide your future like I did, get out and ride. I ride a Schwinn mountain bike now with my 5 year old son when he's on his bike and I really miss my riding days very much!
