I see where VDC got inspiration on the decal type and frame design on its freestyle line

Nice find, don't see many Black Frames  :)


Always think of these as the reversed Haro Twin bottom tubes  ;D

Super Grifter, last bite of the cherry when BMX took off over here!

This edition came in silver with blue bits too.

Can't imagine they sold that many when the burner was cheaper and what the kids wanted!!
