The Warpig was the first bike I ever built from the frame up and it was a beast! This brings back so many good memories and I regret selling it back in the day.

[@signal_rr]

Love these mid-school bike checks! My lower back tingles everytime I see one. I'll always remember the time I was telling my buddy about quitting racing and building up a dedicated trails/street bike as I wanted a durable bike to handle the abuse. Literally right after talking about it, he nose cases a large double, and his head tube on his redline gets raked inwards. He ended up muscling the forks to get the bike somewhat rideable but as he was doing so he tells me "I guess that makes both us getting new bikes"

[@jrvega9559]

Love the Phu videos! Keep them coming! Thanks Alfredo

[@ocboy616]

[@frankcarrion1011]

[@Vitusvonatzinger]

[@SOMEBODYGETASPONGE]

I wanted a Warpig so badly in 1998. 14 year old me missed out big time!

[@djfu3l3r25]

Love these midschool segments! Do some midschool race bikes

[@josephcorso5081]

Man that era bike were beasts to ride. . Right before they started using heat treated and butted tubes on "Freestyle bikes" and were able to have strong and light bikes

[@keam210tx]

Shhhiiiii….back to back to back Phu comin at you!

[@HAMMER_2.2]

Damn so many badass parts on that bike! I had the same Son of a Bomb/BFR wheel combo, ordered from Dan's Comp on my General Lee. Also that Pr1mo Viking clamp!

[@AlfredoMancuso]

This thing is a gem!

[@B0rQ]

Got a picture?

[@matthubbard904]

Badass bike love s&m won’t ever get rid of mine 🔥🔥

[@whatIdontSEE]

The 1993 Morales flatland frame has the elevated chain-stay.

[@kirkwickham3336]

I saw a Warpig once at Beenleigh skatepark, like 20 years ago.

[@alexisgreen4533]

I had a GT bump that weighed 42 lbs. kink chain tensioners , Alex supra E pro rims triple walk , 14mm front and rear , sharp setup , profile SS Cranks , primo casket step , Castillo bars , DK iron cross pedals , FSA pig headset , redline monster fork the thing was a BEAST!!!

[@stephenfrancis303]

The alex triple wall would be perfect on this build

[@alangerhard7118]

Thats a sick bike!!! id love to show u my 98 dirtbike keep up the great vids

[@shortyxmoshpigx5488]

primos the wall tire was soooo cool. like really fat side walls, that were impossible to destroy.

[@Stubbleduck43]

I still have that headset complete. Plus some extra parts for another one. And a pair of Modulevers with one inch adapters for 7/8's.

[@cerisejones8061]

The burgundy warpigs were nice.

[@AlfredoMancuso]

That was my favorite!

[@drthmrl1]

Looks similar to my S.O.B frame I had. That thing was bullet proof.

[@josephnguyen4688]

Yeah I love the blackjack sprocket

[@pauljames4510]

5:20 I had a primo Viking seat clamp on my Holmes next generation 99 model and my PBR aswell 👍🚲💨

[@randycollins2607]

builds muscle peddling those things 😂

[@AlfredoMancuso]

Hahaha the bunny hopping for sure

[@skylarsoper241]

My 03 condor is for sure heavier than a war pig , my big black bird is 44 lbs , Ramp room second gen love handles, Hoffman fist front load stem , tech 99 levers , Alex supra G48h wheel set with xs4x4 front hub odyssey v-3 cassette, 175 power bites , Brooklyn machine works chinburger pedals , it’s an awesome bike with a ton of rad rare parts all heavy weight

[@SAMDARKify]

Amo este tipo de videos bicicletas con mucho estilo y reaistencia

[@BSpenceTravels]

I had so many of the same parts. Primo SOB hubs, primo tenderizer pedals, viking clamp, slam bars, wall tires, monolever. I miss those days but man I don't miss the weight.

[@thefugitivemind6193]

still got my warpig frame one day ill restore it, rode the hell out of it form 98 to 2003, used to roll with sun bfr rims with primo tenderisers too! I had a goofie thick front sproket on it, think it was called a big cheese, was heavy but back then we we built diffent

[@pauljames4510]

My S&M next generation 99 model was 38lbs with super e rims and similar parts on that warpig 👍🚲💨

[@hed1fsu]

Oi.. those bfr's with that dirt channel hahaha. Also haven't seen that fbm sprocket in 20 yrs. Looks good! Oh damn . Blackjack sprocket.. my bad haha. But the fbm woulda looked good on it as well. And God I hated those 9 and 10mm rails.. and remember the 3/16 chains? Whew.. and the triple walls.. those inch tall Alex rims haha. Bundy pegs.. all rusty straight from the bag haha. Good ol' days.

[@shaun89759]

I am enjoying this “shop owner” series. Two interesting frames i had in the late 90s early 2000 Primo pro XL (kuwahara) Balance Killer b (red ano)

[@adamschorcht6477]

All these features were taken to perfection with Matt Beringer frame.

[@glennt69lol]

McMurray is a legend These mid school bikes are so cool Miss my 98 mongoose villain Currently (43yo/5.9/85kg dude) riding a 21tt division Fortiz and it's a nice stable bike, decent weight with quality build parts but the nostalgia of my old mongoose when I was 19yo and Haro niquist a few years later (my first venture into 25/9 sets) are still strong. Old school= Old Cool

[@pauljames4510]

6:00 I remember running that sprocket with a KMC fat chain it was 8mm thick 👍🚲💨

[@islamicsalami7208]

Man, I realized the other day that the fat chain I had on my bike at 20 years old is now the same chain that is on my garage door opener at 42! That thing was huge. Never broke though when doing sprocket grinds though!

[@joshlikesbass]

My buddy had a Warpig. It was a tank! I remember when we all used to roll with those thick-ass motorcycle chains with those 1/4" thick sprockets. Weight was thought to be a good thing. Meant your bike would last. Then I got on a Fit series 1, built that up with race parts essentially, and realized the benefits of a light bike! The thing still weighed like 36 pounds or something, but back then bikes were 40+.

[@thestinkycheeseman2208]

I do miss the huge chains

[@bammargera5247]

Daddy Alf

[@AlfredoMancuso]

Bam bam bam!

[@doom8944]

When i was like 13, back in late 90s, i remember riding around with the older Kats, i tried their bikes, they had KINk, fit an S&M an they were so fuckin heavy man! But those were the best companys... Along with SNAFU

[@DarrenGWhite]

Had one of these back in the day. It was great. Short and stiff.

[@StreetDreamzTT]

Man I love these type of vids. 32 now. Still suck at bmx but damn does it make a killer urban delivery bike. I'm good at hops and skids lol. Really like bmx bikes tho.

[@1991jdmcivic]

I was going to say the only thing missing is the 415 chain and the only thing he didn't mention was the Dia tech hombre 990 brakes. Man I remember all those parts such a trip down memory lane.

[@billymz28]

Troy Mcmurray was the beast on street. I Got a warpig Alex triple walls Og primo the wall tires Profiles ss crank Kink 44t chain ring 415 big chain Og primo seat Og primo pedals Og Castillo bars S&m pitch forks

[@jellis7042]

Love the Daisy Dukes! Haha

[@wileycoyote4206]

My buddy had one of these ❤️❤️❤️

[@potaylor9992]

Ah Other One Boom Rocken it, No W.P. but i do have a 01 Easton Hercules at 44lbs. keep putting out the bangers Al an Phu

[@jaredolsen7629]

I used to ride a war pig loved it it was heavy but damn it was solid

[@skylarsoper241]

These oversized built to the hilt 35-40 lbs bikes you really have to send em , so breaks help trying to stop flying tanks , my everyday is a 03 pro team condor, 40 plus pounds 👌🏻

[@timjohnson943]

A little later in the S&M line the Berringer frame having that same angled wishbone design of I recall correctly.

[@benzesp]

man this looks exactly like my rig back in the day except I had a Mirra pro frame (very simmilar design) . Red neck, black jack, tenderizers, S&m bars.. Was running odyssey forks and alex rims with hazard hubs. 36lbs lol

[@zbignoz.tunnlerwitz_109]

I knew it was a Warpig before I even clicked. All hail Troy McMurray.

[@rexracer7192]

Kinda reminds me of my GT Bump. The bump has too be one of the stoutest frame and fork sets you could buy. Dropouts big enough too shove a Ford 9 inch rear end into. 🤣🤣

[@kirraxinn]

I had the first gen sabbath with platform and that thing was heavy as fugg

[@k-art-L]

I would like you do a review on my midschool bikes!! also this war pig! is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@michaelfowell223]

I'm currently renovating a 22 year old Mongoose Pro Villan, I think in weight terms the Mongoose could give this bike a run for it's money, the top tube is like a drain pipe!👍

[@VailSkateSupply1]

I had a big ass chain that looked like a motor cycle chain.

[@phatstackmack152]

I love the heavy bikes from the late 90s to early 2000s I have an idea for a video. How about a video of the Crazy prices on Ebay for Vintage BMX Bikes. Some are worth it and some are most certainly not.

[@onlydab5655]

I had a late 80s Schwinn Freeform Pro that was a heavy bastard too. Chrome frame with built in pegs and Yo 48s. Not sure exactly how heavy but it was a monster

[@warrenweapon]

A bunch of features are very similar to the 2001 GT Bestwick Pro... The top clamp of the double seat clamp held the seat post directly and the lower clamp pinches frame to seat post. Double lock.

[@callumrobinson8143]

Alphonso and Phu the best BMX duo on YT rn. I need a little help my right bolt crank is on their like does not budge how can I get it to come off? Also cranks are slipping now and then is it the bottom bracket doing that? The cranks are literally new

[@tonyb7748]

I still own two warpigs, a 1998 & 2002. Not my heaviest bmx stuff but probably my favorites to ride around. My morales BTS is probably 3 lbs heavier as built.

[@SheepeyRace]

💪 🚲

[@adamortiz5846]

I still want one. Take that bike to the park and get kids to 360 it lol

[@PaulLaneJr420]

I have A pair of the o.g. Primo pedals and some old-school 48 spoke wheels front wheels Diamondback the rear wheel is an odyssey laced to a mutiny blackballed hub 48 spoke and it has 16 tooth on one side love the Hub and 18 tooth on the other side and nice to see some old-school I miss my old m o s h frame complete bike Wade maybe 30-40 lb and I was like 15 riding that

[@codyreynolds6333]

Old school haros back in the mirra days I have a dave mirra a bkammo and a backtrail but the cozmo was cool the big block blammo is the best

[@yt_rain3376]

s&m beringer also have that raise chain stay

[@michaelwhitham4501]

That’s a nice bike,the haro blammo was a heavy bike also

[@B0rQ]

What other frames are built like this with those seat and chainstay yokes? Sabbath, War Pig, T1 Barcode…what else is out there?

[@victoravina409]

wheeli bike set up next

[@littlejule2096]

Watching videos like this makes me sad knowing im never going to have a good bike

[@rf6268]

i had a yellow dirtbike that i built very similar. and then i had a solid duke i built the same. i overbuilt all my bikes at that time. if this bike was available in a dark green, i might've had it too, cant remember

[@familyengineering5591]

Subbed for vu

[@xokillawuox3222]

I still got my war pig frame in mostly good condition

[@Taino-Photos]

That frame was a tank like the poverty G ride but that was one of the best street frames, oh and I had chain tensioners like that but I had the htp dropout protectors if anyone remembers them

[@seangeraghty9308]

I had a war pig. Far too short for me but it's the tank!

[@MOUNTAINOUS]

not as heavy as my old mirra. with meganuke sprocket. the super fat chain that looked like a motorcycle chain. 4 pegs. a pair of chain tensioners. 2 brakes. it was a good 40 pounds. fat seat. and so on. double clamp seat post clamp and so on. 14 mm axles on double wall rims and high flange sealed dk hubs. it was a beast. yet i could manual to grinds on it when i was young and strong lol

[@crypticsynchromystic589]

Been a while since i saw it but my old s&m kris Bennett had the upward lower chainsay bracket area. Except it was ovalized and rounded out similar to a shield logo, where the tire rolls. Wierd design but thought it was cool looking. Loved that frame. Heavy as shit but a great bike. May still be sitting in my moms hiding somewhere. P.s. my buddie has a intact s&m berranger fame with the sharp 7mm sprocket and moto chain. Love the mid school

[@davetbassbos]

I have the Blackjack 25! pointless, but incredibly awesome!

[@fransschreuders8488]

Ha ha you said the name in the title

[@devilmyke]

Guys is my bike chain supposed to be covered in black gunk that seems to come out endlessly..at first I thought its just normal chain oil but now im thinking the chain has just been sat around for ages and gone dry ..I don't know weather to absolutely clean it all out then put new oil on or is it fine covered in like a black paste.

[@matte8439]

I had a black 2001 warpig. Loved the geometry but the t.t. length was just too short for me. I think at the time the warpig was one of the first frames to have less than 14" chainstays

[@wakingbadtarot]

my version the 9090 mounts were welded off center so I had to grind down the brake arms, was that the same on this warpig? i had a damn kink chan sprocket and guard 4 brakes mo bars 4 stiffies double gorillas marvin guts ...ughh thing was like 50 pounds I don't know how my skinny ass did it

[@BerserkerNick]

I'm not sure which is heavier, the s&m war pig or the 2hip pork. I used to run son of a bomb hubs with Alex triple wall supra e rims, 12 gauge spokes in the rear and 14 gauge in the front

[@ericisabadbadman3978]

I got my brothers primo hub laced to an alex triple wall and I remember the front having a 14mm axle that was flat so it'd be 3/8 I don't remember what that was called

[@BSpenceTravels]

I also had the primo SOB hubs, 12 gauge spokes front and back and the primo hula hoop triple wall rims. Bombproof.

[@BerserkerNick]

@@BSpenceTravels hell yeah 🤘

[@lysergic_visions3203]

Primo frames were heavy af then too, but it way really nice for wheeling ..

[@barrymandalow]

dont think primo ever made frames, just components

[@user-eb6vo1iw9j]

Love your videos, I'm currently cleaning up a few old bike to sell for new toys and I was wondering if you got a message from me about what they are and what that might be worth . I have a 96 supper goose pro that's almost mint and a very extremely rare 98 Redline prototype RL380 Monocoque type frame design that was debuted in July of '98 at a race in Idaho . It was the first ever Monocoque type frame redline ever mad . It's the bike that made the 99 Rl380 , the single x and of course the legionary all aluminum Redline XLR 8 R . I have the white one and it's to be believe the only one . Do you have any info about Redline so we can better Document it for BMX history and what they both may be worth ? Thanks and ride everyday !

[@brandi_herself]

So when can I stop by with my bike?

[@General_Loco]

Only thing missing is a moped chain

[@hawaiianpunch6534]

War Pig! I remember this bike. I wanted to be a hog rider. I ended up staying true to SE. I bought a Quad XL instead.

[@steveworthington328]

I still have my warpig and it is the same as it was 20 years ago! I can send some pics if your interested.

[@gripking131313]

That frame was pretty beefy. But it was a bitch compared to the gack cannibal. Talk about a boat anchor that wouldn't break.

[@Alanst1xx]

At first I thought it was the same as my morales 1997 street but they gotta much heavier bottom frame
