    I just went to my first old school bike show myself this past weekend too! But Cru Jones wasn't there! It was cool to see all the old bikes from back in the day though. I also scored this awesome box of goodies that I'll share in a future video. Thanks for sharing!

      Yes, I watched your video yesterday. I love how you captured the announcement of the winners. I missed that here at the local bike show. Looking forward to seeing your box of goodies in one of your upcoming videos 🤩

    real cool. nice record. bill is rad. see the reason i moved back to illinois when i did was i was to attend and start my return to racing at the grand opening of illini bmx. cru was already contracted and flight booked etc. to come to the event. i was to be his asst. i was to go with the driver to the airport to get him. i was to be doing a demo with other flatland guys. i would of sat with cru during the showing of rad at the vip event. i have one of the only few shirts made for the event. cru even has some. but it got canceled during covid. at the end of it. for some reason. sucked. but i did get some cool stuff as i said from him. photos. stickets. jersey. vans. all signed and personalized to me. just such a nice guy. so i didnt get to go to that. he didnt come obviously. but for me to know he has watched my freestyle rad tribute video and he enjoyed it. made my year lol. looks like you guys had a good time. we are going to the rockford bike show and swap meet. i will have 2 bikes for sale there. other old school gear. if all goes well. i will film a big documentary of the event. it is by chicago.

      Hi Dan. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment. Sorry to hear you missed out. I followed Bill Allen’s IG account a while back and that’s how I found out about it, otherwise I’d probably have missed out too. This was the second year in a row for the event, I bet they’ll go even bigger and better next year. Hopefully, there’s a next time 👍

    I just started getting into bmx again after seeing the big SE rippers around my neighborhood. I was 12 years old in 1984 so as you can imagine the Hutch, GT, Redline, PK Ripper bikes had a huge impact on me. I recently built a custom bike with the Hutch XL29 frame and fork, hutch aero speed cranks, skyway handlebars, se headset, GT stem , seat post and saddle, Haro 29" wheels and thick slick tires. It's a beast. Thanks for the video!

    • @TheNostalgicNeighborhood
      @TheNostalgicNeighborhood  Před rokem +1

      Thanks for watching and commenting. Your Hutch XL29 build sounds amazing, getting the aero speed cranks is a power move for sure 🤩. What color scheme did you go with?

      @coldcrush9 Před rokem +1

      @@TheNostalgicNeighborhood ​ @The Nostalgic Neighborhood Hutch only had the black frame and fork so I did that with the chrome cranks, chrome head set, chrome wheels with black tires, chrome seat post, chrome handlebars, black hutch seat clamp, black hutch grips, bear trap pedals are black and chrome (not hutch), black stem and seat is white with some silver, silver chain.

      Nice meeting you too! You totally caught me off guard, it didn’t even cross my mind that anyone there would have seen any of my videos. 🤣 It’s cool that you brought your son with you for some father son bonding. My son is off at college, but I remember doing stuff like that with him when he was a similar age. Good times for sure 👍 Thanks for commenting 😎
