What a fantastic video!!!! I bet you didn’t know where to start? You couldn’t drag me out of there. Fantastic bikes, just a shame, for me anyway, we didn’t see a Bob Haro gen 1 copy or even a Torker Bob Haro copy which he rode first. The Mongoose Motomag with original wheels stole the show for me though. Thanks for sharing, a brilliant watch.
It was a crazy place. I was slightly concerned when i first walked in because the first floor had zero bmx bikes lol. However the upstairs was indeed a gold mine. Thanks for checking out the video!
That day glow pro compe was amazing! Like it was just assembled out of the box! Pee Wee’s bike was sick too. Lots of incredible bikes in that place! I must check it out someday!
I can't believe you just passed over the Pee-wee Herman bike. To me that's the nicest bike in here other than the 26 inch cruisers for the big boys BMX.
Impressive how many times more visually striking those 80s BMXs are than other types of bikes, any era. Got to give some credit to the designers of that era for what’s really an original and unique art form
They were made by Bowden. It was called the Bowden spacelander an apparently only 544 were made in like the 80s. They said there is like 30 in existence and they have 17 of them. Crazy cause i guess market value right now is anywhere from 17k-50k
A walk down memory lane but very sad in a way. The old school frame style of bmx needs to be revived to inject life back into a dying sport, the mid and new school is crap. There are too many collectors/museums hoarding old school bikes and parts nowadays, pure greed. Bikes are made to be ridden.
@@MC_Mookie i would agree the mid school era is crap but not the new stuff. The new stuff isnt as intricate or aesthetically pleasing but far better than either as far as quality is concerned. Everything now a days is much stronger and much lighter than anything before. So if you plan on riding the bikes the newer ones are far better but i will agree not as cool looking. However you can get the repop or lineage model stuff that has retro styling an still has modern components so its almost the best of both worlds.
@@kevinburke1325 If you really don't get what the Dude above meant by "live it" than it sounds like you've never had a passion for anything, even mtb. plus there isn't a rivalry between the two and there never will be with the true riders, so you sound very unintelligent. But Good Luck!
All that vintage gold 💯💯🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌💪💪💪💪💪💪
Amazing tour . Thank you
Wow! A lot of memories there. Effin rad….
Damn now that is a very impressive collection.
Thanks for the video. It brought me back to 14yrs old again i had a few of those bikes back in the 80's. Hutch was my favorite
A purple dyno pro compe was my 1st bmx bike!! I got it as a hand me down from my older cousin. Thx for the nostalgia!
Don’t know what to say. Every bike I dreamed of as a kid and couldn’t afford
classics , hope ( bmx ) comes back in a big way , it'll be good to see kids having fun and feeling free like I was on my bike

I’ve see and built many nice bikes, won 3 times in Rockford, but this is amazing

Still torn if it was just that good or repowdered lol

100% agree. Shortly followed by my least favorite era of BMX bikes, the mid school stuff lol.
Easily over a million in bmx goodness!
wow! 😊
This guy was snagging em when people were throwing em away
heavy nostalgia.
Any I.D on the joints at 7:33?
The design on those things are bomb as hell, I’ve never seen or heard about em!

Wowzers.
theres a great old school bmx bike shop in west newton that is worth checking out too
I've been to the shop in West Newtom but where is THIS one?
Could not see any E.T.Kuwaharas though...some other Kuwaharas...
Is that a private collection? Love to hear the story of how this place came to be
Its a public "museum". I talked with the guy running it an said its all his step dads who has been doing it forever.
@bigchungusshooting incredible! Glad the family is sharing this history.
This place looks crazy lol

Are any of the bikes and parts on display for sale
They had a "retail shop" in the building but 98% of the stuff was not forsale. Nothing worth mentioning in there
I live in pgh pa I did a video there as well.
Do they sell bikes and parts too or just a display museum
@@josephnguyen4688 yes
I don't get the hype around bmxs. I have an mtb and use that for trails and stuff. bmx would probably be good for the pump track, but idk.
Different tools for different jobs...
If you didn’t live it you’ll never understand.
@@donniebrasco4114 how do you "live" bmx? What exactly does bmx do that mtb can't? Sam Pilgrim constantly does tricks on his mtb.

@@arockj wow, so you do ad hominem attacks because I point something out. Wow. The only unintelligent person here is you.
