5 Most Influential/Important BMX Companies

<< < (5/9) > >>

Philbert:
i agree with the first top 5

i know i have standard running through my blood so i'm bias but they are in many ways still leading the way. especially in terms of geometry!

dialledbikes:
Taj is one of my favourite riders (and Joe Rich and Robo aren't too shabby either), but I don't think T1 influenced or changed BMX in any material way, shape or form.  Still a good/respected bike company/brand though.

kirk:
Skyway

Haro

Redline, Only for the Flights, I was never a big fan of there bikes.

Mongoose, The Motomag and box bars just sum up early BMX as it should be Bicycle MOTOCROSS,

SE

Mattdub:
I agree with Mikes top 5 but would swap out S&M for Redline ( flights  ;) ) and Standard for Haro , Bob was an icon & influence to so many .

Before his plates his scribbles/drawings in BMXA were Very cool too , here's a Back to School ad from BMX PLUS Dec 81 where his drawings were used on notebooks , pencils & pens etc .



Oh , and some Haro pencils  ;)

Flaz:
influential and important are really 2 completly different things so here are what i think are the most influential and why i think so   and this is for the uk old school bmx

Raliegh    like em or not  they are a major player uk bmx 

kuwahara  the ET film  was a major bmx influence on a lot of kids

skyway  the wheel are iconic

haro  the birth of freestyle the free coaster bracket

diamond back / redline /gt/ mongoose/ se/ torker.. etc   are all about  as influential as each other

the list aint whats the best or whats the worst its what influenced thousands of kids  on the path of bmx
