Great listening, genuine conversation

Michael Fenwick. 2004 the same year as Podge.

I've watched five videos about this hub, and nobody can explain which way to flip the driver spacer.

One of my early favorites. Love to see it relaunching.

Thank you for making and for sharing the video.

I’m not digging the curve bottom part of the frame

I found a stripped down Torker frame one day in a pretty bad neighborhood. A burgundy (I think the color was burgundy) frame and fork and maybe the crank set…. I stopped my car got out and grabbed it from the curb. I took it to someone to have it stripped down from paint and re-powder coated. Obviously they knew as well what they had because I never saw the frame again.

Yeah…. big Homie is in his late 60’s now.

The Coca Cola Cowboy!!!!!!!!!

Put your classic on the wall….ride your new torker till the end of time!

what was wrong with the redline flights? too heavy? you said you went with a fatter spindle?

Mtb is is actually dying it's widely known these companies are ripping the consumer off

I’m not even kidding you just reminded me that I had a Toker when I was 13 years old now I’m 39.

Sounds like hollywood mike😂

*promosm* 🤤

Thank you for this awesome honest interview! I havent seen Bill in YEARS and hes the cool same guy & we both just have more grays but hes still as invested as day 1! Folks have no clue how much this cost him in attorney fee's just to get this done..I dont know either I just know they are EXPENSIVE..over NINE years?! THAT is passion project!

Thank you Bill Ryan! It's great to see these iconic brands being brought back to market by old school racers. Please get your hands on that Patterson brand !!! Hope to see you at Worlds. Torker x Vans... double swoosh Vans logo.... just saying.....

1st time I saw Stu race was just a regular single pointer in 1981 at the San Bernardino YMCA. I lined up next to him on the practice gate and I was sure I was in the presence of one of the more famous people on earth.

Great interview

I was hoping for a torker 29er ,I had a torker in the 80s awesome bikes.

as FS bikes, T2s did the brand justice

Great interview!

I'd LOVE to flatland on the new Freestylist! Bill made those with Freestyle geometry. It's going to feel so rad!

This project could not be in better hands, who cares about the “ haters “, LONG LIVE TORKER!!!!

Shane !! thanks for organising this interview, hearing the experiences of someone who is passionate about this fantastic sport. Guys like Bill, keep this sport in all its forms relevant and fun!

Bringing Torker back to life is totally awesome. I will be buying one of these, for sure!!

Splendid interview - Bill you are pretty cool and let us know when the Vans products drop, loved the SE stuff that they did a couple of years ago. Just discovering you and I like your approach to life. We are of a similar vintage and we share a love of BMX old and new!!!😃 Still riding my SE Quad angle too good to have as a display bike. I after a supercross now ☺ Hearing you bring up those BMX legends brought a smile to my face!! Getting kids on bikes in this day and age, is good for our health physical and mental and as you say, its Fun!!

Bill! Great idea!😎🤗👍👍👍

Can I do this to my Madera hub? Its the first version I believe, I have a titanium axle in it, 14mm but wanna use the wheel on my gt pro series , thanks for the informative content 👍 im subscribing now.

Will you make a 24" cruiser with gusset and all old school specs? I want one. Some welders like TrueTorch make replicas and sell them quick.

Mat Harris rode for Torker back in the day ⚡

Awesome interview.

Legend. I forgot the calculation and was looking for the easy way out. You have my upmost thanks.

This was a great listen. Issac, replace west coast with east coast and our stories are very similar. Gen x'ers stories are unique compared to other generations while as a whole many gen x'ers stories are super similar. BMX bikes were our everything. Our ticket to the world and your explanation of what it meant to us was spot on. Nice job man!

such a Rad As Interview/Storytime Guys, ...I was fully invested for the whole interview 😎 Thanks for the Kind Words Mr Irvine , much appreciated, #greenwhistleexpress #dozerlife

Thanks for hanging out and chatting BMX with me🙏🤘

Very cool👍 I'm at the other end of the measuring stick 🤣

Boss !

I'm going now for my second pair of Catalyst and although I use clipless too sometimes, for downhill, enduro and trail riding the big flats really shine! It really feels like you're skiing!

😊great viewing was wondering if the bike frames were raleigh racing flatland,freestyle frames, if so I have one with raleigh badge can send photos if you like ,an could it b rare ,thank you kindly for any info .😊

Great video! Super helpful even after 6 years. Thanks man!

I’m curious - so do you need their freewheel removal tool or will the Park Tool one work? The Park one looks similar

Thank you! So on 😊

This guy is a bmx legend !

This guy Stu is a legend in the pro bmx scene. I remember in the 70's I would buy bmxa magazine. Stu , Bentand Brian Patterson, Eddie King were always shown in the magazine. These guys were pro sponsored and traveled to every big bmx event ! These guys rode hard and fast. $$$. Awesome video guys !

Where do I get the Echo buckle in the EU?

just ordered my RA26-R this evening... can't wait until it gets here!!!

Just stumbled across this posted vid; Great Interview ! … old school BMX Racer myself back in the 80’s from Nashville, Tennessee … I was a big fan of Henderson & Bottema when they both were teammates riding for Raleigh!
