[@psychotodd769]

88'... That was the year I got my 1st real bike. A 88 GT vertigo St. White with hot pink decals. I loved that bike. Rode it till I got my license.

[@LoneWolfed]

Loved my second generation 87 Pro Performer. Wish Fiola remade those. This video takes me back to my teen years. Martin has that hair spray and Swatches on lock!

[@flmmaz]

Seat post clamps had to be hella good back in the day.

[@susancorgi]

at that year 1988 nobody would have thought the bmx industry was about to end its best era in 2 years. not even martin who sitting there talking about his tricks would know most riders will be out of jobs very soon.

[@radkesrods1184]

Wow what a flash back from my childhood day's. Thanks for posting this!

[@bmxsickness1975]

Who the hell would down vote this 2 times? Without these guys and many others there wouldnt be bmx today. We would be on bikes with ape hangers and banana seats.

Probably one of these emo neo-bmx'ers who hate the world and think they have "invented" something that has been going on since the 70's.

[@saltybmxer6977]

The tracking is a little off. Probably from rewinding and watching the part four thousand times. SO RAD!

Top BMX. Old school. The. Beast. Thankyou

Very, very Good, Bike or Die!

[@smiley37greg]

this was the year I started riding, I was 13, but I rode a Haro their rival

[@jbw9999]

Google image search this tape. The back cover of the VHS case says it was released in 1987.Also Eddie wasn't riding for GT by 1988.

[@OldSchoolBMXTV]

It was released in April 1998, the production (Filming) and all artwork and packing was done in 1987. It's not like today where you film, edit and upload within 2 hours.

[@jbw9999]

@@OldSchoolBMXTV Oh, thanks. Not saying I don't believe that, but is there proof somewhere?

[@swiftcee266]

I wonder how much money these companies made?....must of sold millions of bikes

[@OldSchoolBMXTV]

GT / Haro and only a couple others are still in business from the 80s. Many newer companies make / develop BMX / Street Bikes now

[@swiftcee266]

@@OldSchoolBMXTV ..I had a Craig Campbell Prolite...best selling freestyle frame and forks in the UK for a time. Loved that bike. Wish I kept it!
