[@Iseekoutthetruth]

I'm 60, I Have My Own Business, Kids and Grand kids I Have never Stopped Riding.

[@RydenDirty]

@@Iseekoutthetruth that’s awesome my dude 🤘🤘

[@Restless2010]

I had a 20 inch GT Pro Performer back in the 80s when I was a teenager, i'm looking forward to getting my 29 inch GT Pro Performer as an adult! This is gonna be so nostalgic for me.

[@RydenDirty]

Pretty much the same reason why i wanted it.

[@blawruk]

That entire opening intro is spot the eff ON! This whole video is pure GOLD!! 👍😎

[@RydenDirty]

Dude for real thank you for that. this video meant a lot to me. especially because bmx and biking is what molded me into the human i am. 👊

[@BigBikeBMX]

Yeah, Buddy. 100%

[@MikeWilkinson-j5t]

You had me at BMX bike!! 56 yo and still love these bikes. Loved the video...Thanks for keeping the vibe alive and pumping thru my veins in this video.

[@RydenDirty]

Hell ya that’s what’s up bro 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘 are is just a number. Send iit

[@bodybuildingandbmx]

My brother. I can’t decide what’s sweeter- that GT or the video itself. Wow

[@RydenDirty]

Hahah thanks homie. Definitely was a fun video to make

[@Uncagedmtb]

Loved the video. I didn’t realize I wanted a new big wheel BMX bike. Now you’ve got me looking.

[@RydenDirty]

Hell ya Joey!! They are super fun to be honest. Heavy as hell but super fun

[@Coco-Crisp25]

Just got myself a 26” DK LEGEND bmx. I absolutely love it. I’m 48 and I never thought I’d be on a bmx again. As kids, we went everywhere and did everything on our bikes. Kids today have no idea 😂

[@RydenDirty]

@@Coco-Crisp25 hell ya that’s awesome bro. They will never know is a fact

[@brenttyler4337]

Just scooped up the gt pro series cakeboy edition. Im 42 and im so stoked bro. First bike was a redline 540 expert and i miss it everyday! Keep up the great videos

[@RydenDirty]

Dude that’s badass. I was looking at that one. It’s a sick bike!!! Congrats. I had a few redlines back in the day. Those were my jam

[@thehorrorlife7190]

Funny thing is, I just bought a 29 incher! Always been a huge GT fan since I was a kid so I’m looking forward to getting it delivered

[@RydenDirty]

@@thehorrorlife7190 that’s rad man. I need to go out and ride this one more. It actually made me go get a 20” and I’ve been riding that a lot

[@BigBikeBMX]

Amazing video bro! Beautiful edit

[@RydenDirty]

Thanks my brother cant wait to get back out there and do another ride!!!!

[@wisetoolow8304]

I love the video bro I want to get back to the BMX bike life!!!! I'm 36

[@RydenDirty]

[@Peter-yc1rs]

I got the 2022 Pacifico preformer for 500 brand new love the mags

[@RydenDirty]

Siiiiiccckkk

[@ckMTB]

A great video Erik, really a great way to reflect the view from childhood and express what magic a bike had back then. I had a GT bike myself when I was 14 years old, but I didn't ride BMX but XC bike races and everyone wanted a GT. I had to wait a long time for it not to be in our budget. Thanks for this video. It also took me back to my childhood for a moment. Have a great weekend bro🤘

[@RydenDirty]

Thanks Chris, thats rad that you were a GT fan as well!!!. I totally forgot about that they did mountain bikes back in the day as well. 👊👊🤘

[@FossilCruising]

Awesome video. Jay Adam's quote really hit home. Just got a GT Performer 29. This video was a big reason why, at 50, getting back up on.

[@RydenDirty]

Hell ya brother. Glad you’re getting back on the bike. Once a biker always a biker 👊

[@wohnelimedia9634]

I snagged ua a 24'' Dyno Pro compe recently and did a bolt on custom build with it, Now I just need some riding buddies.

[@RydenDirty]

That’s what’s up. 24” bikes are rad. I got a Sunday 24”. Such a sweet bike

[@toddelroddrums]

great intro bro!! We're the same age and this whole video rings true with me from early days of bmx freestyle to now with the big BMX!

[@RydenDirty]

That’s what’s up bro. I love BMX and can’t let it go. I’ve recently got a 20” and have been getting my skills back

[@toddelroddrums]

@@RydenDirty thats rad, my son has an expensive 20" that i'll ride sometimes but I bust my a$$ on it most of the time cuz its too small lol

[@RydenDirty]

@@toddelroddrums I hear that brotha I bust my a$$ all the time now lol

[@bassw1758]

Lol, man that's so true, im close to the 50 , my dad been asking me lately when I'm going to give up mountain biking because of my age, 😂 I'm just like, mountain biking black diamonds in 100° weather all day, so much easier than getting up and going to work everyday,

[@RydenDirty]

@@bassw1758 that is 100% my brother

[@bassw1758]

​@@RydenDirty nice bike by the way , I had a light blue pro performer with white mags growing up, I never met the kid that my dad sold it to but I'm sure he was pretty stoked, I got it towards the end of my 20-inch phase so it wasn't almost mine condition when I let it go.

[@RydenDirty]

@@bassw1758 thanks bro. I’m back on 20inch BMX again now and I love it. I remember that performer back in the day with the mags!!

[@bassw1758]

@@RydenDirty thinking 85 ish, another buddy of mine had a Hero Master, that was a hot one too, I think it was lime green

[@dennisdjy]

Yessssssss

[@RydenDirty]

Get Some 🤘

[@chalinp4886]

You just told my life story and current situation now Dope

[@RydenDirty]

That’s badass bro. We never grow up and why should we. I ended up getting a 20” too lol👊

[@TwntyUp]

I have this bike and it’s a beauty, changed the tires and freewheel and it’s perfect

[@RydenDirty]

Agreed. It really is beautiful bike. What tires did you get! I was thinking of changing the front chainring so I can do wheelies on it but maybe changing the free wheel would be better ?

[@TwntyUp]

@@RydenDirty I went with brown continental tires with the same 3M strip on them, the browns are identical to the pads and I’d get a 18t freewheel to make it easier to pedal and wheelie. you can change either or both but I found it more convenient to just change the freewheel from 16t to 18t. Great vid btw

[@RydenDirty]

@@TwntyUp hell ya thanks for the info. I’m probably going to swap out the free wheel cause the stock chain ring is legit

[@TwntyUp]

@@RydenDirty no problem, yeah I wanted to keep that blue and also put on blue bear trap pedals

[@ssbmtb]

Sooo Good! Amazing video brother! Ride bikes be happy! #ssbfamily🇺🇸 #ssblife🤘

[@ManicTrailBanter]

Dope video man, and sweet ass bike! I have a soft spot in my heart for HARO for the same reason. My first real bike was a Haro Flight series BMX, totally chrome. I eventually had a DK as well. It’s really funny, I have pondered recently a few times, I don’t remember EVER working on those bikes, they just always worked besides flat tires from time to time haha. Cheers dude!

[@RydenDirty]

Hell ya my dude. I miss the days of how simple it was. Haro was my second for sure 👍

[@dereckc9469]

cool vid

[@RydenDirty]

Thanks Bro

[@Restless2010]

Also I see the Pacifica edition has those same wheels as the Mandalorian. How are those durability wise versus spoked wheels??

[@RydenDirty]

Yoooooo the wheels are super durable. this bike is heavy as hell though lol

[@Eatonchit88]

Fantastic

Na, dooing endos all day lang with rim breaks back in the day.

@@RydenDirty yeah then spin around on the front pegs or the platforms that would fold down, that was the only trick I could really do

@@RydenDirty I had to come back and re watch this. I turn 43 in 15 days. Grew up riding BMX, MX, MTB and Street bikes. I haven't been on two wheels in at least 6 years. I think I am ordering a GT Pro Performer this weekend for my birthday. Always loved GT for the same reasons you did growing up. First legit BMX was a Schwinn predator that my mom got me used. That got stolen, but soon after I saved up my paper route money for a red Dyno VFR. Always wanted the Mach 1 but I had VFR money lol. Now I need to start a Bike Life crew in Canton Ohio!!
