    There needs to be a video series of the BMX Legends telling stories. Stuff we never got to read in the magazines, the back stories, influences, etc. All the dirt. Would be great!!

    I thank God that I grew up in this era. Raced bmx, freestyled etc. I'll never forget these heros and that time of my life! I'm planning on buying a new SE here real soon

    Heck yeah Mike Buff ruled BMX Action in the day. Aggressive go for it attitude. Perfect match to R.L. Osbourne and his polished tricks. Still have my 83 S.E. Quadangle and still ride.

    Hey , Mike was a little bad ass from Pedro in the ‘70’s. You were the coolest dude to me as a kid. Got tired of fighting at surf spots with stupid localism BS and went back to bikes. DH MTB and jumping everything. Then into freeride cliff hucking in Virgin UT. Took a break for career reasons and got a 2021 enduro to ride my local knar Bootleg. Everything I think about is MTB for vacation time. Your stoke and rad 20+ People bunny hops with me last in line make me think you are what biking is to me.
    So happy you never really lost the stoke to ride for fun.
    Bless you, and many happy stokes you can still give to kids so they ride for life.
    AKA Toughskins.

    Love you Mike Buff! When I started out freestyling Mike, and RL were my idols. What a blessed life we have had being BMXers. Have a great night. Wes

    Mike Buff you changed my life . You are the best forever..I'm 54 years old now . I am pretty much held together with pins. But when get pains I smile because they remind me of Mike Buff the best freestyle bmx rider ever. Period

    Watching and copying the BMX Action Team was my childhood riding Ramps and copying those guys was all I wanted to do. I still love riding a bike to this day and the Bike Life movement is great to see

    Great to hear from Mike. I'd only seen him briefly on Joe Kid. I think he deserves as much recognition as others. I was influenced to bunny hop over my cousin's bike, because of pics of him, bunny hopping over R.L's bike. He's also played a part in Freestyle's early years, by doing shows with R.L, this we can't forget. 😀. I hope to hear more from you😀. Thanks Mike😀.

    I'm 55 years old as I"m writing this, I had a BMX Action subscription back in the 80's and I always wondered what happened to Mike Buff, nice to hear things didn't end on bad terms.

  • @tristancarver734
    @tristancarver734 5 месяцев назад

    The thing here for me is seeing Mike talk about his history from those days. I only ever saw him on Joe Kid On A Stingray and Bmxa. It's great that SE recognises his early contributions and with the legacy of the SE P..K ripper, the bike life enthusiasts also keeping it alive.

  • @vincestyles1030
    @vincestyles1030 4 года назад

    Love the throwback! I still have mike buff Z-Rims in white. What kept bmx is the kids of the 80s 90s that are parents now & that still support the hobby. It’s great to see the new generation riding. I have a 2008 Floval sorry Mike your bike wasn’t available yet!

    I have the new PK Ripper 27.5. One day at the beach riding with the family and I had 4 dudes (during the pandemic!!) come up to me wanting to check out the bike.
    Yesterday at a skatepark two young kids about high school age, liked my bike and wanted one. I always call it an old guy's bike but young kids on 20" with no brakes can't even wheelie!

    I had a blue P.K. RIPPER bitd, probably 82, or 83 with chrome Landing Gear, blue Araya 7X with Comp 2's, blue Rough Rider bars with Oakley 3's, and RLFC's with KKT pedals. I still dream of those days, and wish I could of rolled around with Mike Buff (I need a Time Machine). If I ever win the lottery, I'll be coming to see you Todd Lyons, and see the SE factory. 🎸🎸🎸😃😃😃👍👍👍

    Nice story. I’m nearly 65 with a BMX bike. The whole culture is super nice to each other. I thought I might be kind of an old outcast.
    But that’s not the case. It’s a fun community vibe with most folks. I do ride a competitors bike actually. But generally everyone respects each other. People help out each other well. So ride on...

    Thanks for sharing your stories, Mike, and I'll stay tuned for more. And it'd be interesting to hear about your training and trick development and all of that in your '80s heyday. Like what were you doing when you trained for hours, riding around or gym work or ramps or all of the above and then some?
