In 1986 I had a tricked out BMX bike but after seeing freestyle I just had to do that, so I worked all summer at my dad's body shop sweeping floors and fetching cheeseburgers for lunch... At the end of the summer I had the $300 dollars needed to get my dream bike, a Kuwahara Freestyle Bike. All the bike shops in the West Los Angeles area were only being allowed 2 Kuwahara bikes each (not sure why) one BMX and one Freestyle... I show up to buy my bike and they had the two, a dayglow green BMX and a Hot Pink Freestyle, I wasn't that excited about the hot pink but I'd have to wait a few weeks or more for a different color to come in... I wasn't waiting! So off I went on my new Hot Pink Kuwahara. I remember riding down my street for the first time and all the kids pointing and in shock at my new bike, I was the talk of the neighborhood, everyone wanted to ride it. Soon after another kid two blocks away bought the green BMX one and we were the Kuwahara Bros. It was my pride and joy until it got stolen in 1989. A few years ago I found a Day Glow green Diamondback freestyle bike from 1986 at a thrift store for $60, it now sits in my sons room and brings back great memories of my past... Good Times indeed!

They make this stuff seem so easy. Clearly I would fall on my arse..

[@CLAWCUZBRO]

[@cferrell02]

I love that it feels like we are watching the real vhs

[@theshamanarchist5441]

Pure 80's cheese. I love it!

[@metalheadedone]

I used to get all my parts and stuff at the Evans Bros. Bike Shop. Good times, man...now there's a Rudy's BBQ restaurant where the shop used to be, and a Lowe's Home Improvement right next to it, where the Shannon Jr High School was back in the day.

[@meloveyoulongthyme]

Same here. I got a GT pro performer and my brother got a Haro. I got a Gator skateboard too. First wide body skateboard I owned as a kid. Great memories.

[@juniorpinheirodemagalhaes4775]

👏👏👏👏👏Fantastic! Get RAD guys! 80's 🤙🤙

[@EDGARJOSE]

I like your tricks idol

[@danielmacd]

I love how the opening shots of this video (1987) borrow heavy from the opening shots of RAD (1986).

[@lucasadautorios4687]

Es parecido a rad

[@ricardolara2091]

Miss the days of the Evans Brothers !!!

[@MyNameIsMrSwifty]

I bought my bikes from these guys back in the 80s

[@Tackz777]

Wow....just wow. I feel REALLY old right now.

[@nathanielbrice8725]

Alright!! Neato!!! Best video out there! Wish I’d seen this when I was growing up!

[@davidxrod]

brings back the best memories.. Freestyle was the shit back then! Nothing was better!

[@OldSchoolBMXTV]

D XD Also on this one, Eric Evans (CW / Revcore) actually sent me a box of his VHS tapes to convert that his Grandmother would tape at all his shows / contests. I can cc you on the FB conversation we had if you need "Proof"

[@davidxrod]

OldSchoolBMX TV You really dont get it. Wow

[@hairlessharescrambler56]

Please smack the top of the vcr when the picture screws up

[@jwprimetime9795]

Oh man another gem I haven't seen since I was 14!! Thanks so much amigo!!

[@albertpang102]

It’s worth relishing the 80’s BMX freestyle bicycle tricks by various professional riders including kids nonetheless.

[@anubis8181]

Tracking button haven't pushed one of those in decades.

[@danielbernal4675]

these guys r badass..saw them at bayfest couple times..

[@jwprimetime9795]

Oh my lord those pegs and platforms!

[@mikieson]

whats the issue??

[@mikieson]

4 thumbs down are from todays riders that only go in circles lol

[@mikieson]

thought i was watching RAD for a minute.

[@bigbenVelazquez]

ERIC EVANS WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@edgarplascencia1330]

At 1:28 is a total throwback to the irritations of the classic VHS video

[@cassiogartner1979]

Hello Edgar, do you still practice Flatland?

[@lawrencecarpenter638]

Am I the only one to notice that Todd's CW has 2 rear brakes?One cable from each side of the SR Spintech goes to either brake.Its the same principle of 2 separate cables going to a center pull 990 type brake today.Except today u dont need any more braking power than a center pull 990 type brake.But way back when this was made the brakes was the weak point of the bike.Meaning they didnt stop u very well making tricks hard.To be quite accurate they downright sucked.
Damn he is also running a coaster brake.3 rear brakes

Imagine being on a bicycle trick team and not knowing how to spell bicycle.

[@gardenstateflatlandb]
