I watch Joe Kid On A Stingray for the third time last week. If you have not seen it get Fuel TV ASAP or just buy it. It's great! Love the pictures.

I took the '81 or 2 GT 26" BMX cruiser down from it's hook for a polishing just today...

My nephew really likes those little finger bike toys, so the wife and I decided to pick him up a few for his 6th Bday. Imagine how stoked I was to find vintage Haro, PK Rippers and Mongoose bikes complete with frame pads and neon mag wheels! Righteous!

I still have a PK frame with a mint set of Landing Gear forks at my dad's place. I have an old Hutch and a JMC there as well. My cousin rode a Kuwahara for a while. I never rode any of these; I started out on a Huffy and ended up on a GT (eventually). Man, those were the days!

FWIW, That PK and Hutch are probably worth some money. I sold my looptail PK frame several months ago for a fw hundred, and it wasn't in great shape. Hutch stuff pulls ridiculous money on ebay.

I found a Supergoose just like the one I had stolen while I was out shopping a couple weeks ago.

This thread has me wondering what happened to my old Kabuki... it got ditched as primary transport sometime around '84 in favor of a Monte Carlo but it was a sweet ride. I should dig thru my fathers shed and see if its still there.

I'm bringing my elf out. cue "send me an angel"

I have a late 80s haro master Id sell if someone wants one. Its the blue/black/chrome colored one.

Ohh man, more memories than ever flooding back. I still have my original 1981 Powerlight mini that I started on, along with a Kuwahara. Still wish I had my Hutch mini from when Mr. Hutchinson started out and had a few of us as factory riders. This was all just before the massive explosion of the REALLY big teams, that would travel the country for the nationals.

I love the Joe Kid on a stingray movie. definately worth owning if your a former bmx'r or at all interested in bmx!

Man I loved hanging around guys Like Perry Kramer, Toby Henderson, and R.L. Osborne and a bunch of others at the races. I'll never forget watching PK bunny hop his bike a solid four feet + in the air. He would actually pull up twice on the bars, once on the ground and once in mid berkelying air. It was so freaking awesome being a 10 year old and getting to hang with those guys.

Thanks for the memories, and is there already a thread some place for old bike pics. If not I'll start one.

I remember so many of those photos from the pages of BMX action and Freestylin"!!!

Funny how things come around again. This looks like it could have been taken today:

Funny. I think I have those same shoes. (Okay, not in that color combo, though.)
