what did you like?

the hutch trickstar was an amazing bike btw.
and the GT performer's platform set the scene for the years to come. many many years

The trickstar was nice, but i never came across any BITD, so couldnt comment,
the Gt performer, like i said, the way it made me feel back then was that it was the end of bmx as it was, the bikes dramatically changed and i didnt like it. In hind sight obviously it wasnt the end and most of my builds are 85-88, but BITD thats what i didnt like.

what i did like then, GT pro, jmc, super goose (gusseted one) torker 280x, GHP, VDC, powerlite, kuwahara, mrd, un gusseted robinsons, basically any sleek lookin strong Race frame, i remember silver fox did a race frame that was sleek as fook.

no mention of skyway ta because i wasnt fussed either way, think cos forks looked too skinny. nice now but not then.

i was and still is a fussy fooker, and when i do eventually post up some of my builds im sure you wont believe that, but i build my bikes to ride well with the bits i like and r up for the job, basically how a lot of the bikes on the street and track where like BITD, never two the same.

theRuler:
good stuff

and TA forks are a little flimsy, i agree

bmx did change around time of the performer though, you are right
freestyle changed dramatically in those formative years

changed for the better

yeah lookin back, but at that specific time 85-86ish it didnt feel to me as though it was goin in the right direction, bikes gettin heavier and stuff, i was all wrong i tell ya!

kids eh? you thought you knew everythin but knew fook all :LolLolLolLol:

brass monkey!:
it was hard to say 'what i didn't like bitd' namely cos back then we didn't have a pot to p1ss in, so I was grateful to have a BMX in the early days. Must say I never had a Mongoose, along with Burners, never liked either of em, always hated Gen 1's, basically cos i couldn't afford one....!!  LOL !



funny to hear the comments about VDC's considering how sought after they are now !!
