Eddie Fiola Critiques My Custom 26" GT Performer BMX Bike

[@sambagogo777]

So cool to see Eddie's still active and looking well! He was pretty much a living god during my childhood and I once had the great pleasure to see him compete in the summer of 1985. A living legend!

[@TheNostalgicNeighborhood]

A living legend indeed. It’s awesome that he’s so humble and friendly after all these years. What a great memory to have seen him ride around the peak of his competitive career 🤯🙌

[@sambagogo777]

@@TheNostalgicNeighborhood Absolutely! To me and a small bunch of like-minded friends during that golden era, Eddie Fiola was a bigger deal than any other star or celebrity. Bigger than Michael Jackson, Prince, etc.

[@thecottage4493]

Eddie was always my favorite since I was a kid! Seems like such a nice person too! He could ride everything!

[@TheNostalgicNeighborhood]

They say to never meet your heroes because they will disappoint. This couldn’t be further from the truth with Eddie. He’s so friendly, engaging, and humble. Class act for sure. And so fun watching him ride in person 🙌

[@cruisinginthe808]

Eddie is the ultimate showman! So cool that you got him to sign your GT! Thanks for sharing this with us!

[@TheNostalgicNeighborhood]

The ultimate showman indeed. I still have my Cruising in the 808 sticker right on the other side of where he signed it. In hindsight, I should have showed that on the camera too. 😎

That foot jam tail whip was bad ass!! That's the old school I learned in Freestylin Trick tips!

[@TheNostalgicNeighborhood]

Awesome! I’m just Learning them. So fun!

[@monkist]

Love it! So happy for you you met Eddie! He is our hero!

[@TheNostalgicNeighborhood]

Thanks!!! He’s a great hero too 🙌

[@sunfunskate]

Another good one! Love the Maui blue! Great knowledge from Eddie!

[@TheNostalgicNeighborhood]

Thanks brother 👊

[@mikeboss416]

Another good video ! loving the nostalgic content ! I'm happy to say that today I added my 4th 90s BMX to my roster . 1999 Dyno Zone. Now I can do a bike for both the kids, wife and I! We can hit the streets in nostalgic fashion!

[@TheNostalgicNeighborhood]

Amazing!!! A family that BMX’s together stays together 🙌

[@philipjackson1589]

Great vid. Such a great interview with Eddie, he seems such a genuine guy. Still love watching him ride. You looked great doing your tricks at the end of the video. Keep putting such great content out. Always a pleasure to watch!

[@TheNostalgicNeighborhood]

Thanks so much for the encouragement! Eddie is totally a class act! 🙌

[@sinks88]

Need to see more of the black bike!

[@TheNostalgicNeighborhood]

Thanks! Definitely gonna show it more in the future 🙌

[@JimP419]

Great edit as always was cool to be right there when Eddie checked out ur bike. Eddie's skill and style on a 20" blows my mind. Also great work on your 20" I'm jealous I've never pulled off any flatland or bar spins hope to see more progress!

[@TheNostalgicNeighborhood]

Thanks Jim! Definitely plan to progress and show more of it!

[@jamescevallos8680]

Big thanks for recording this. I wanted some advice/ideas with how to approach tuning my u brakes on my mountain bike.

[@TheNostalgicNeighborhood]

You got it, those u-brakes are a little different for sure!

[@coldcrush9]

Eddie should've signed the World Tour in white🤣

[@TheNostalgicNeighborhood]

Hindsight is 20/20 🙌

[@josephdelasierra4890]

Full pull on the gyro and no gyro flop when you spin the bars. That's how I set up my gyros. Set up bottom cables first and have that gyro rest on the tabs, then do the top cable. If you do dual cables top and bottom adjustment is way easier.

[@josephdelasierra4890]

To get more slack on the top cable you would have to bring the gyro plate down with smaller head set spacers. I see you have a big one.

[@TheNostalgicNeighborhood]

I hear you, and that makes sense. 💯 The thing is, there is plenty of pull distance on the brakes, so from a practical perspective, it’s totally fine as-is. But to get the tabs to touch, removing some of the spacer distance (and probably cutting some of the steer tube as the spacers took the full space) makes sense. Luckily, my 20” S&M was able to be adjusted perfectly without issues, and that’s the one I’d really want to be 100% perfect. So I’m good. Thanks form chiming in. I really appreciate you sharing your thoughts 🙏🙌

[@josephdelasierra4890]

@TheNostalgicNeighborhood I was gonna to say that it can open up a can of worms just to move it 3/16 or less to get it perfect, when it was just fine leave it how it is now so you can enjoy more riding! Thank you for responding! Stay RAD!

[@cyberlingbot3d896]

I always wanted a flatland bike, I have a race bike but I want to get a freestyle bike too at some point.

[@TheNostalgicNeighborhood]

Awesome. I’m having fun on mine too. I’ve had it for a couple years but just recently starting to put the time and effort into it. 👍

[@michaelrizzi6448]
