Old School BMX bike collection

Mongoose, diamondback, schwinn, hutch, GT old school bmx bike

[@brandonduhon1933]

I was too poor to own one of these , I’m 44 so I know every bike . The Diamond back with the white mags ...... that was my holy grail bike ....

[@88baldur1]

That Redline and Hutch ...SCHWING!

[@milotorres6894]

I'm 55 remember those days going to look at them , had to piece a bike together , change out upgrades webco, mongóose , to a Schwinn comp ,cook bros. , Alloys and aluminum with everything else for lightness .

[@lamarbrown619]

Im right there with you Bro my family was to Poor as well✅I was born 1977 in South Central Los Angeles California As a Kid I would go travel 35-minutes down the road to Santa Ana Orange County California Disneyland to watch the Old School 80’s GT Freestyle BMX show’s❤️man I miss those Days✅

[@derekpych9114]

Had the 84 expert unfortunately it was stolen

[@williamdavis9562]

@Brandon Duhon, I know the feeling of all my friends owning GTs and Mongooses and us not having enough money to fork out 600 bucks for one of these. Eventually my dad found a way to get me a decent bike but we still couldn't afford the GT Pro Performer so I ended up getting a General which itself was a great bike. Only to have it stolen a year later. I still haven't gotten over that :O(

[@irvingfive7955]

I am amazed. This was like flipping the pages of old magazines. What an incredible collection!

[@desertduck4177]

Totally agree

[@walterforero2528]

Specialy the sticker of Motomag Magazine on the bike...

@@kevinclary1522 I believe I have to many memories with the bike to sale it. I took it to a bike shop a few weeks ago and they were amazed of how well it has held up. Thanks for asking though.

[@RAYGUNKNEESHURT]

My sister and I had 2 matching BMX bikes hers was a smaller one because she was younger. I remember the pads were checkered white and blue on one and red and blue on the other. You brought back so many memories.

[@whitneyhengesbachinformati2853]

I never had a great bike, but I remember salivating over these, as well as, JMC, Red Line, and Race Inc's. Fun time warp!

[@prinxe4749]

Theses bmx expensive my dude

[@DavidDuncanscalemodels]

When I was 13-14 years old. I had one of those mongoose m1. It was like I had a Mercedes around my neighborhood. Wish I still had it. I think my parents sold it in a yard sale for 20 bucks.

[@nedaCFilms]

Summer of ‘85 I mowed many many lawns to earn enough money to buy my 1985 Predator Qualifier. I was so excited to upgrade my old beat to hell Huffy lol. God did I love that damn Predator. Blue with white mags and blue tires, it was sharp. Wish I still had that damn bike 😔

[@walterforero2528]

My Lord how many memories, incredible time machine collector!! Congratulations!! Love it!

[@scottyducati35]

I wish I still had my early 80’s Redline 600a with tuff wheel 2’s with all the goodies. Cha-Ching! 💰

[@James-qq2vq]

The motomags were built like nothing else. Still look good 100 years later!

[@bL3dbL4k]

Those GT's literally brought me back to the early/mid 90's when I was a kid. I would go to the bike shops and want so many of the bikes. The nostalgia!

[@ramonponce870]

This really takes me back. Thanks for the memories.

[@antoniomendoza5811]

Great collection back in the day redline very impressive

[@johnstone2701]

That 80s diamond back is a beaut.

[@lnn7439]

Love it. I can still remember the day my mom bought me my first bike, a 1990 Jr interceptor my first pair of wings, she was a beaut. Thanks for sharing.

[@brandoncramer9012]

Had 4 of these bikes. Mach 1, performer, dyno, and my first bmx bike when I was 10 was a predator. Nice collection

[@jjerry56]

Sweet collection. I bought a mongoose Californian for 9 bux at a garage sale about 9 yrs ago with a hutch neck. At the time i didnt realize what the market was for these bikes. I also have a chrome Vector M4 with all original parts im restoring now- Tuff 2's with metal flange, Redline STR Series Bars Tuf neck, dia comp brakes, Kash seat, that was/is my original bike from 1982. I had a chrome thruster tribar back then which was the absolute sweetest bike in the world - I traded my YZ 80 for the thruster! Then after about 1 month it was was stolen from my front porch- Ugg.. I bought the vector with the ins money my parents filed for. I still cant get over that bike being stolen! Anyway- great vid and nice collection.

[@sm1tty031]

I had that EXACT Schwinn Predator. I lived in queens NY and I kept it in my parents dining room! Yes they let me. I swapped out all the Black on it for Blue. My friend had one and he made his RED. So I had blue tires with black mags. Blue Mushroom grips and Blue California Lite pads. Goosneck seat pole and blue Viscount seat...Blue Pegs...man that bike was awesome

[@chieflovelace2143]

Bad ass collection bro,i can remember lots of these and more,took me way back,glad i came across your video

[@jimbeam992]

Loved this video. Reminds me of being back in the 6th grade when me and my friends would ride the bus across town to the west side where all the rich kids lived. Those kids used to leave there bikes out and we used to steal some serious hardware. PK Ripper, Hutch, Diamond Back, Panda, Mongoose, et al. Would even snag a few decks on those nights. Damn I loved those Powell Peraltas.

[@erickelly7897]

This brings back memories. When we where teens we treated these bikes just like cars. Saved every week to go and get the latest tricked out parts for our bikes. I remember getting a kuahara after the movie ET came out.

[@maddog6767]

cut yards all summer just to get pro class wheels

[@DalHarpJr]

@Eric Kelly.. And that is exactly why I STILL modify and customize my cars to this very day.. It all started with my BMX bike! There was no way in hell, that my parents were spending $300-$400+ on a bicycle for me, so my Dad took me to Caldor's (Target equivalent) and bought me a Huffy Stu Thompson for my birthday. We had a Schwinn bike shop a few blocks away, and I lived in that store, and gave them all my little bit of money. By the time I was done with my Huffy, I could've bought a Mongoose or something outright.. My Huffy was chrome, I bought white Skyway Tuff II wheels, white Dia Comp rear brakes, white Tuff Neck stem, white Zeronine number plate, CW Racing handlebar and laid back seatpost, black and white ODI Mushroom grips, Bear Trap pedals, I had a chrome and white chain, don't remember what seat I had on it. The worst day in my young life came, when after buying pizza up the block (I lived in the Bronx) I rode back down to my house, put the bike in my yard to go inside and eat my slice of pizza, and someone came in the yard and stole my damn bike, never to be seen again! 😥 A freestyle Kuwahara was definitely on my radar, but I started driving cars, and I got too tall for BMX bikes, so I had to let my BMX dreams fade away.. Until I got into Mountain Bikes! LOL

[@spaceghost5026]

I used to drool over these as I sat on my huffy

[@5446moto]

“You’re right honey I can only ride one at a time, I should get rid of them all but one.” Said no man ever.

[@shakedydogshake]

That ‘83 Schwinn Predator is phenomenal!!!!

[@robertcox7220]

Wow l haven't seen some of these in years. I was riding these back in late 70s and early 80s. Man these are awesome.

[@vinceanderson4320]

Man seeing those bikes brought back so many great memories. Thank you.

[@mrmagoo.3678]

If I had to pick one to ride home with....errrrmmm.. I love the gooses but I'd take a GT either one..probably the mach..or the Hutch lol...errrrrrrrr...SO MUCH CANDY!!😍😍

[@JoseGomez-vn7hn]

Thanks. I had a DB. Viper in the 80s...Wished for the GT performer in 89. Dreams do come true. Thank you for sharing.

[@antoniohinojosa8771]

1983 mongoose blue max was my dream bike when I was a kid. Great collection!

[@TimboStang71]

OMG when I seen the dyno air and the GT performer I got chills. I haven't seen one of them in over 20 years. When I was a kid they were the bike to have. The diamondbacks are sick too. Great video

[@gerardosilva3436]

What a video and a bike collection! It made me feel all pump by seen all those old models. I am from Tepic Nayarit, Mexico, small town where it was extremely hard to find these kind of bikes, even just to get the BMX magazine, thats how my friends and I knew about those bikes. In my case I saved every single penny that I could to get and used GT pro series frame, until now i remember that bike like it was yesterday, but in 1995 i had to sell it to be able to continue school, so I totally miss that bike, and now I saw your collection and you don't have idea on how cool made me feel. Thanks for sharing it, i totally appreciate it.

[@pancho5241]

Heck ya old school baby!!🤙couldn’t afford these bikes but I ripped harder than any of my friends with the good bikes.now I ride my Dj P3,DJ Felt,P3 slope.I’m very satisfied. Bike Life

I’m about to be 48 and I still feel like a kid when it comes to bikes. As a matter of fact I just got some pedals in the mail today. Haven’t even opened the package yet.

Memory lane. Started with Huffy Pro Thunder, then Moto mag Mongoose, GT, ended with a PK. Today I’m 50+ and for grins, picked up a 29” Big Ripper, Travis Barker model. Long live Rompin Stompin Stu, Harry Leary, Greg Hill, Mike Buff, RL Oz, Andy Hill, the Vans trick team, and the SE Bus driven by Scott B. RIP, Scott.

[@chevybrother6945]

I had a couple Diamondback when I was younger always loved my bikes. I would take they apart paint them het centerline mags. If I was a lot smaller I would still ride. Me and my friend did so BMX racing only a couple years. Then I got my license and started taking cars apart. The 80's were great.

[@jeremiahbrown4344]

One for each day of the week till I was pushing daisies. I couldn't just let them sit there just begging me to hit the asphalt or dirt track. I remember scraping pegs across half pipes and grabbing frame flying out of concrete drain culverts on more than a handful of these bikes. Just cause you use it, doesn't mean you abuse it. Bodacious bike collection nonetheless :)

[@calvincooley1074]

I built a GT PRO (frame, fork, handlebbars, laid back seat post) when I was 14 in 1983. It was a close replica to Greg Hill's bike at the time. I couldn't afford the Profile cranks and hubs but it had original Shimano DX pedals, seat post clamp, Kashimax Aero seat and MONGOOSE Pro Class rims. I miss it.

[@heywoodgillettemi2868]

Extra nice collection you have there. In 1984 I used to race a JMC Racing at Westlake in Indiana. Bike got stolen end of racing. 2 years later, traded a crappy drumset for a Haro Freestyler. By that time, I was driving a car. Didn't have that for long. Sold it...Both were awesome bikes. Would like to see you aquire a JMC. The Vans trick team used those for awhile

[@mrjimshotrodbarn1686]

Super nice collection . reminds me of going to the bike shop as a kid just to drool.got a GT and a GT dyno That have sat around for years. Gonna fix em up a little along with several others. Gotta get my Takara road bike going and start ridding again . getting old and flabby..

Thanks for sharing your collection. I still have my '82 Schwinn Predator bmx with blue mags. My good friend asked me at the time: "Why not get the z rims?" I want mags, I said. I was never bummed out about my choice. Though through the rest of my school days, others would talk about z rims like they was the best in the world. And that was even in high school. So long ago.

Such fun times racing back in the late 70s early 80 when all these bike were in their prime. Thanks for the look back down memory lane. Wish i still had my JMC. 2nd one got stolen as well.

Man you brought a tear to my eye on that schwinn predator.. I got one for Christmas and literally had it for a couple of hours before it got stolen at my local arcade.. my friend had a lime green diamond back that he gave me as a replacement though...🤣😂😂still wasn't as good as that damn pradator that my mother saved up all year to get.. 300-500 bucks was a lot back then.

Lots of vintage parts! But no mention of the “epitome of funkiness” grips as rated by BMX Plus! Mag, the Oakley 3 grips! I saw a couple pairs in there. One blue and one white, I think. I had the yellow ones. Sadly, I had a cheap Huffy that weighed probably 30 pounds or better so I was always trying to get the cool parts. Araya rims, SR pedals, DK stem, Comp 3 tires, Dia Comp brakes. It was a struggle to get that bike decent. Thanks for bringing back some memories. Quick question; who remembers those quirky Quad Angle racing bikes?
