OS-BMX Oldschool Reunion and Freestyle Show 6/2009

[@ManewBlewww]

Eddie Fiola my bmx hero!!! THX that's a jewel!!

[@christophercrahen9302]

All so sweet! The old school bikes, the colors, the tricks....I need to go back to 87!

[@richardjones9282]

Brings me back to the 80’s! Some of the best years to have grown up in. Those of us who lived this are the last of the “be home before the street lights come on” generation. Good times!

[@MegaVinny73]

Exactly this. I was trying to explain this to someone over the weekend. Times like those are lost forever. Young'uns today will never have those experiences and freedoms.

[@niconesta8566]

Oh these were such fine days, hangin out on the street with your friends trying tricks till you had to be home... these tricks are so awesome.

[@theoriginaldjscooterb3343]

If it wasn’t for the old it wouldn’t have BEEN the NEW! Damn Ron ,Eddie WOODY ETC I’VE Always LOVE YOU GUYS STAY BLESSED TILL THE WOULD BLOW UP😁😎👍🏾💯❤️ KOOL and the GANG!!!!...Ha!-Ha! Yeah!🛴🐝

[@raleighburner1589]

The best sport in the history of the universe

[@FBFGOF]

Yup. ;)

[@deciocarlos2564]

Yeh the best off the best

[@spineguy1553]

I'm 45, I'm refurbishing my 80's Freestyle bike. Can't wait to get back on it!

[@alexandertakacs524]

Brings back the old days when I rode. Great to see all the Rad bikes from back in the day as well as the riders. I'll have to bust mine out once winter is over .

[@Chaos4Eva1]

Wow I wanna go back to the 80's. Great video!

[@jamespolcari9114]

Can't believe how long ago the 80s were and how much our sport has changed. I remember racing New Jersey state series and the track there's nothing like they are now. Dirt jumps , table tops, whoopty doo doos, and burms. Ant hills, step-ups, I remember the New Jersey state series in 1983 in Lawrenceville the state championship winning the 16 expert and 16 24 cruiser was was the highlight of my young life. I still have the number plates. Now they are in the Olympics. My how are sport changed, the things these kids do now, just absolutely unbelievable. When a table top was a great trick. I'm so glad I had the opportunity to participate in such a fantastic sport. And watch through the years how it changed. Long ago are the 80s. Rest in peace

[@shortbuskrew7229]

Love it ...grew up watching these guys at shows and worked hard to be like them...love showing the younger generation what u can do ,regardless of your age ...when u put in the work

[@danoj5076]

I would like to see Dew Tour or X games honor the old school guys in some way. Cause they are the ones who paved the way for so many riders today.

[@haro82]

I couldn't agree more!

[@barryotoole6990]

100% agree definetly these guys paved the way..

[@hogie1259]

Especially guys like Dave Voelker who’s style from the 80’s is still prevalent today!

[@generationofbmx]

No doubt agreed! Hey guys, old school rider here. Please help a brotha out and Subscribe to my channel! Riding old school tricks and learnin more each season here on my Haro retro Masters!

[@zachsprinkle9139]

I remember drooling over the 80's freestyle bikes at the local bike shop. I'll take a show like this over X Games anyday!!!!

[@NeilLB7]

That jump at 2:10 into a fakie....WOW!! Many very good riders today do not immediately attempt some of these moves. These guys invented this stuff...and there's just not much new under the sun. They wrote the book...literally. And it's very hard to do any better even today.

[@damianbluedragonpools9948]

Peace from the 80's/90's Original Dyno GT and Original PK Ripper, great to see it still going strong.

[@ASSOpid]

Woody and Martin were the reason I got into freestyle. Legends

[@Cruzmac]

Thanks for the video. WOW WOW... Now thats oldschool . I grew up in the 80's Brings back old memories of my brother ,and I doing that same tricks

[@leeedwards7588]

These Guys are amazing Eddie Fiola Ron Wilkerson you rock

[@BillBondsHasAPosse]

lee edwards don’t forget Arapjo

[@axelreichertz1701]

thanks. I enjoy watching my childhood heroes very much!!

[@aboutthemetal8783]

Dave voelker was one of my favorite riders , loved watching him through the 90s and in to the early 2000s GT voelker metal issue bike was a brilliant solid bike, one of my favorite that I ever owned.

[@jhamaecajucom8550]

nothing beats da old skool.. others are still ahead👍👊🙂

[@JonnyJetson754]

Bmx would not be where it is without these guys. They represent so well 💯🚲

[@dazg2033]

I got into bmx when it first came to England in about 1980-81 ,loved it as soon as I saw it on TV showing Bob Haro, I,m 51 now but still love watching it,I,d love to get an old school bmx again,I had a Torker pro x

[@MegaVinny73]

I'm a bit younger, few yrs. Just picked up a refurbd 1984 bike, arrived today, it is an amazing reminder of a time gone. And it still fits!

[@armed-8057]

Brings my childhood flooding back into focus...’these guys are nothing less than PIONEERS” of everything BMX. They should’ve been paying tribute to them at every XGAMES event, for w/o them there would be none!!

[@victorchavez5214]

Wish I had friends like these to chill with

[@haro82]

Eddie Fiola. 80's freestyle legend. Used to ride for GT.

[@christophercrahen9302]

I begged and begged and finally got dropped off at a GT EVENT in South Windsor, CT on RT. 5 1988!. A seriously cool Hawaiian dude rode quarter pipe, flatlanded, and entertained us while Eddie Fiola was just end-oing and rolling back off the quarter pipe. Once it started, Eddie did an x-up and a fakie and bailed. The other dude busted his butt with a 360 (most couldn't land a 540 but he had to land and roll a fakie) , Super chicken, etc. Dude was hands down better than Eddie, and he handed me a pair of those super sweet Odi Mushroom grips. Kindest guy ever. God bless all BMXers, and especially that dude.

[@haro82]

Yep, that's Dave Voelker. Crazy as ever on a bike.. even in his 40's!

[@haro82]

Keep in mind.. most of the guys in this video are age 40 +

[@xpndblhero5170]

Awesome video.... I too am stuck in the 80s/90s. LoL I still have my unique riding style because of growing up in the beginning of BMX and still riding now... I always win at BIKE because I have weird "old-school" tricks. 😉😁

[@haro82]

Martin hadnt been at any of the recent events, so it was very cool to see him there. He was messing around on someone's bike, and you could tell he probably hadn't ridden regularly, but you could also tell it was all coming back to him quickly. I hope that motivated him to get back into it and maybe he'll show up again next year!

[@ntroxell83]

Watching these guys as a kid is made me fall in love with bmx freestyle

[@mazdalorean]

Enjoyed watching this. Would be nice to list their names. Thanks for sharing. Joe

[@robertlee8400]

These guys are all my hero’s I had the pleasure for meeting a lot of these dudes from when I was 14 to 17 . I had a friend that worked for G.T. Bikes out on the west coast in the early to mid 80s he moved back to Cincinnati Ohio & worked at Montgomery cyclery where I did all my shopping for parts for my bike & bought bikes he was in charge of bringing teams such as team Dyno , team G.T. , team Haro & other Indy riders here to Cincinnati for shows year round . Man them were the best times of my life , I got to ride a lot of bad ass ramps & was taught a lot of tricks by these dudes .

[@doryvillarreal]

I could watch this over and over

[@randywissler9923]

Loved those old school SE Quadangles and PK Rippers back in the day!!!!!

[@fluke730]

these boys have still got it

[@WeAretheUnderground1]

im a 12 year old kid and this stuff is amazing , i have to tell my friends about freestyle

[@azbikerider49]

Lots of BMX DNA right there. The music was killin me and wish I knew who was who while riding. But still RAD.

[@Toolauction01]

This is an awesome video thanks for posting. The entire thing is great, but seeing Eddie and Woody doing the flatland together had me grinning ear to ear. Nice to see Martin again, can't mistake that smile. I saw a forum post by the owner of the Orange GT recently. It was autographed by Eddie and Martin that day, and a short time later the owners 1 yr old boy got a permanent marker and added his own sig. over the top of them...

[@barryotoole6990]

Great clip Bob Haro where did the years go i raced here in Dublin Ireland from 1983 - 1986.. we did our attempts at freestyle in "the chuckies" in Saint Annes Park Raheny made our own jumps. Summer of 1984, myself Glen, Carlos, Stynes, Garvey, Micko, Lesso and many more...

[@zodzoid9376]

The best oldschol bike bmx..i miss all guys..legendry..bmx

[@01hondascott]

dude that moonwalk at 1:33 is fuckin slick.

[@icantlogoff]

A big thank you for posting this. Recently got back into freestyle, this was great to watch

[@tannerutah]

Dave Voelker is rocking all the back flips him and Dennis are the old school guys that rode competitively most recent

[@stage3muppet]

Nice to see the simplicity before the PlayStation generation 👌

[@NipponNostalgicTV]

we were the Atari generation ;) It hasn't changed much.

[@williamcrazylacyfurmage9953]

A lot of My Boys there! These OS events are Awesome.

[@jodiepestano6585]

Freaking legends!

[@JH70778]

Woody Itson was Michael Jordan to me as a kid.This made me so happy

[@augylol]

1:33 cleanest trick in this whole video

[@jacksprat3139]

Whilst a few guys are Ok, esp. 2 guys are masterful in their balance and ability...absolutey amazing

[@sirbrad4]

@haro82 Cool, I hope he gets back into it. I am 36 and still going strong! He was one of my idols in the 80's, along with Moliterno, McCoy, Itson, Nourie, and all the others. I had my 88 Master since it came out and am not restoring a GT Performer to day glo to look like Martin's did. Would be great if he came back strong or did some exhibitions. I hope you tape it all. I loved the Haro reunion but can't find much footage on it. I seen like 2 videos.

[@doctorsanchiz]

Is that Dave Voelker at 2:25? Great rider...I saw him flying over my head in México city back in 1990.

[@81eagle]

I just might have to blow the dust off the 20" in the attic after watching that! Thanks for posting

[@phillipmitchell8916]

[@panamaJ]

[@jordanlintexas9639]

Woody Itson, I believe. OG Hutch flatland pioneer.

[@Chaos4Eva1]

I miss my GT Performer in shocking pink and white Skyway rims!

[@Scotty-P]

This is BRILLANT!Bar the music. But bittersweet.

[@iwaswithyourmom9410]

I like the music. Better than a lot of the shit on other videos....

[@jenesisdaza8876]

P Taushick no..just..no..

[@SIMPLEMENTEBOX]

Nice, i just remember in my time, Dennis McCoy, Dave Mira, Mike Dominguez! and the music so intense but at the same time nostalgia...

[@haro82]

Yes, the guy holding the orange Gt is Martin.. Woody was on an Itson Diamond Back.. he rode those after Hutch. Fakie is Dominguez.. at 6:05, that's Tony Murray.

[@nandonando7274]

[@troy424326]

[@Tonicwine999]
