Not a collector but I still have my GT from when I was a kid. I'm 41! No current pics but I'll try to get some. It's at my dad's house in another state right now.

Re: any freestyle bike collectors out there?

Its not real old but I got a 99 haro shredder, all my other bikes are cheeper (supercenter) bikes. We would get them for free or cheep and sandblast them, then hit them with some spraypaint then have some decals made. They looked good when finished even some people couldn't tell they were supercenter bikes.

The friend I road with and helped on redoing the bikes had and still might have his mid to late 90's gt dynos (i think thats the right name)

Re: any freestyle bike collectors out there?

I still have my Haro sport that I got in '86, also have a Dyno that I ride sometimes and a Haro blammo that I've been "putting together" for about ten years.

Re: any freestyle bike collectors out there?

This makes me wish I had kept my GT's...I always said I was going to give them to my son but a couple of years ago I let them go : ( I had the Performer and a Yellow Vertigo.

Re: any freestyle bike collectors out there?

i got rid of some bikes i wish i would have kept too. i still wish i had the 3 280x torkers and 360air and a cyclepro mag f/s i once rode...my favorite bikes were 1986-90 bikes, when i was riding everyday and bikes had unique frames and colors...unlike today, every frame looks the same

Re: any freestyle bike collectors out there?

I usually collect prewar bikes but have been wanting to add a few BMX and Freestyle bikes to the collection. I have a High school buddy that still has all his bikes from when he was a kid. One of them is a PK Ripper.

Re: any freestyle bike collectors out there?

JEEZ!!! I haven't seen a Hutch Trick Star or a GT Performer in years!!! Haro was around when I was a kid but I think those were a little after my time. My family was dirt poor so alll I was able to afford was the magazines. I would almost break my neck when someone had the nads to loan me a bike long enough to do some flatland or muscle my way in line for the quarter. I loved it as much as I loved cars and would risk anything when I got some real pedals under my feet. Maybe I should look on CL and see if anythings close. I'm 39 now but I think if I got a good bike under me I might still be stupid enough to at least try an endo or something!

do it! im 39 too. no harm in jumping on a bike to relieve stress or just appretiate the artistic line of a freestyle bike. its like a trophy from the past.

check out bmxmuseum.com and look at the for sale section. performer frame and forks go for 150 bucks! most anything cool is 100-200 and you can find anything

Re: any freestyle bike collectors out there?

I don't collect now, but when I was in my teens I had 2 Hutch Trickstars, Haro Master, Haro Sport, Diamond Back Viper, and a Skyway T/A. Started out on a Huffy Stew Thompson edition.

I didn't own them all at once, and work my tail off for them in my grandfather's used car business. Only one I miss is the Haro Master, I set it up to be just like Dennis McCoy's when he rode for them.
