Awesome video, and a killer choice in music!!!

Love all the GT SPEED SERIES in that trailer!!

The reason it caught my attention is because you slowed down the footage there and I always look for the small details in videos. I try to see if I can recognize a particular brand and model of parts I see on bikes that I like. I could definitely use a stem like that. I am always having trouble with stems slipping and loose handlebars. I currently have a SE Narler stem with an Origin 8 quill adapter on my 2022 Skyway T/A frame and threaded fork set I purchased from Australia. It seems to be working alright but I would rather have an old school quill stem like it should have. That one in your video would really fit the bill. Love all your videos brother. They give me tons of inspiration to restore and work on my bikes. Currently I am working on a '87 Mongoose Decade and a '87 Hutch Exel. Hope to finish them up soon so I can find a new project bike to build. Thanks for the inspiration and knowledge.

Great to see 80s bikes being raced in 2023, true bmx going on there and the people with their kids and possibly grandkids getting into it.

I have always loved GT Bikes, Owned many GT mountain bikes and a number of GT BMX bikes too.

I raced Bmx from 1978 to 2016!! Greatest life ever on 20inch!!! I had to retire from racing due to crohns and 5 stomach surgeries!!! Went from the Track@ a National to major stomach surgery 3 hrs later!!! Septic!! God bless Everyone who enjoys The Greatest Sport on Earth!!!❤

Rad bro! The Profile 26' on the platform/stand and the OG KOS are my bikes, i also had a Mongoose Two/Four on the platform/stand - thanks for the view time! this truly was a RAD event, bringing back great memories and you get to meet all the BMX legends! - I'll be back for Dirty Fest 24 :)

Still have my Mongoose I raced from 1980-1987.

This is cool, they need to do more of this everywhere.

First raced in the late 70’s and thru the 80’s took it up again in the late 90’s early 2000’s I’m getting a bike, big 24 or a 20 and I am there in 2024! Cannot wait

Nice! I grew up in the 80's when bikes were life!! I had a Hutch Pro Raider and a Predator Pro Performer. EX.

My mate Dale Holmes getting it done on the track for GB. 🤘🏻

Man, that looked like a fun weekend. Thank you for sharing.

Awesome event, seemed very riding focused, getting people riding and having fun on the bikes.

Was that a Yamaha bike I saw at the Swap meet? They weren't very practical but made me drool in the 80s.

Heck yeah brother

Wow I never heard of this event? I have to go one of these days. I had a skyway and my cousin had a whit schwinn predator with white mag wheels. Brings back memories.

The last time I raced bmx was 1988 in English town NJ on my chromed out super goose , plush mushrooms with donuts some skin eating bear traps and a nut buster uni seat...!! Don't I wish I kept all my old stuff!

This was awesome! Thank you for coming out! Hope to see you next year! JV

That's rad... if they were using a Commodore 64 to sign people in the Internet would have exploded. I think that style of racing is way more exciting to watch than whatever they are doing today (and safer) and those first gen bikes are beautiful. Just think, in the early 80's every kid who had a bike would have been there begging to get on that track. I talked to them about how to get on the track in Ventura but you needed so much expensive protective gear and I just wanted to cruise the track on my fully show chromed and restored Motomag, the place went out of business. It can't be too expensive or not enough kids/families can afford it! I built my BMX from parts around 1980 and I still have it! The world needs more of this positive 80's energy right now. Speaking of 80's... looking back, we moved back to California in 1985 from central IL and in Ventura in 1985 BMX was already out of fashion and everyone was into surfing and skating, mostly skating (boarding), almost nobody was riding BMX then... I mean I rode my BMX until orientation day of freshman year in high school, but it wasn't like back in Illinois in terms of BMX... for me BMX pretty much stopped in 1985. I never hear this talked about, the huge difference between pre-85 and post 85 BMX. Some Ventura kids had some expensive bikes, I think I only saw 1 PK in all of Ventura (ever) and 1 GT. In my tiny farm town outside of Springfield in IL there were at least 5 PKs and one kid rode for SE and had a whole truck load of SE bikes.

@@RadBMXBuilds I was born in Orange, but in Ventura post 85, only 1 kid had a PK Ripper that I knew of and it was a garage queen. My little farm town in IL had 1,200 people and 1 SE Racing rider with a truck load of SE bikes and other kids had about 5 or so PK Rippers... my friend in IL had this awesome Torker with thinner tires. I built up my Mongoose Motomag frame myself from race parts. Ventura was just more of a surf and skate city I guess. I mean, people had BMX bikes all along but I never saw a bunch of kids jumping them or riding them pre 1990's. There was this huge half pipe that a new kid had and was doing crazy stuff on in the 1990s, but that's about it.

Thanks for the coverage since I couldn’t make it! Great as always.

Great video Sean! Enjoying the 2nd song you selected (Shazamtells me it's by Walkman FM). Might even borrow that one for a video on my own. Also, great racing action from the old schoolers!

RAD VIDEO!

if the next doing it, i will be there

Dude! What is up with the stem on that bike at 11:29? It is monstrous! Is that a custom stem or a production item or is it the angle of the camera making it look like that. Also I have never seen a rear wheel setup like that. Looks like it has some kind of spring setup on it. Great video. Love all those vintage BMX bikes being raced. Awesome.

What are those wheels at around the time stamp 10:50? I've never seen anything like that before! So wild looking with springs going around the inner rim! I suppose they must be acting essentially as individual shocks in a circle lol... so crazy looking! I love honestly 😅

someone plz remind me the name of the pedals at 2:29

80s BMX should have stayed that way imo! Not the same or near as good as it was. Sad
