I love old school bmx bikes and recently purchased a 1987 Mike Dominguez diamond back.

I emailed this person earlier with no response yet, they probably sold it already!

Sick sick deal!

I've still have my Redline RL380 fro 1998. It's not that old school though. I just rode it a few minutes ago too.

[zero07]

Yes!

I had a '98 Schwinn Pro Stock 3. I loved it... and apparently someone else did too. Enough to break in to my parent's garage and steal it.

I had a Schwinn Predator that I got for my tenth birthday in 1983. I LOVED that bike. I still miss it! I tore ass everywhere on that thing!

Not the actual one, but mine looked exactly like this one. Plus black and white checkered pads 'cause that's how I rolled back in '83!


edit: found one that looked even more like mine!

Now the big BMX question is do you guys remember the movie Rad? Quite possibly one of the greatest movies ever.

[zero07]

Yeah!

What about BMX Bandits?
Nicole Kidman was in there when she was like 15 or something, classic!

Griff, i tore as* as well on a bike that looked very similar, it was a mongoose expert 1988 i think.

Wait Griff did you say 10 in 83?

i still have my 98 schwinn dave mirron supermatic bike. My first BMX when i was in grade 6. The only thing left on it thats still original is the frame, rear wheel, seat and hub..lol Ive bent like...5 sets of axels, went threw a set of bars, cant count how many sets of grips, bent my original 1 peice crank sooo far out that i couldnt ride the bike any more..lol

It was strange how this topic came up at the time that it did. I've been thinking about buying a new bike to ride around, and also get me to work and back (live 1 mile from work.. pointless to start up the WRX for a 2-3 minute drive). My girlfriend wants me to get a mountain bike, but I am looking at a Haro Back Trail X3. My brother has one and beats the hell out of it regularly. Still in one piece.

Now I've got to teach my girlfriend how to ride a bike....

[GriffGirl]

Yeah, 1983, which makes me approximately the same age as dirt, at least compared to most of you.

I remember when having a Mongoose was the sh1t! I wanted one so badly, because they were light weight and you could do excellent jumps and tricks on them. I was all into that stuff when I was a kid, I used to do that thing where you bounce forward on your front wheel and hop around on it... it was hard on my Schwinn because it was heavy, more of a racing bike than a trick bike, but I could do some cool stuff on it. Still though, those Mongoose (mongeese? ha ha) bikes were awesome, they were right up there with Diamondbacks back in the day. And if you had pegs... boy howdy that sure was the sh1t back in the day!

i used to have a mongoose california. that thing was hip and with it. it was teal with pink decals and white mag rims. bein 19 thats old school for me.

[uberschall]

i just sold my blue falcon a couple months ago on craigslist. i'll see if i can find some pics later.
