RADTV The Sequel

It’s rare that I ever broke a tape or wore it out from watching it so much but RADTV The Sequel was one of them. There is so much great stuff in this. They actually attempt to “rate” tricks that people do but some of the tricks are so random you have to wonder what the point is. For example, they rate the “Ejection Seat Flyaway” which is just so weird and random you have to wonder why they put in in let alone rate it. And seeing McGoo expressing “Freestyle happens wherever you find bodies and bikes.” is classic. They also say that Eddie Fiola is 5’4 and 125lbs!!

But whatever, I could go on and on. it’s still a lot of fun to watch and the caliber of tricks is top-shelf compared to some of the videos of the day. Enjoy!!

Happy Birthday… to me!

Yes it’s the big day but I haven’t forgotten about you guys. I’ve got a big stash of old school to go through this weekend and you will see them coming soon.

The next to come is one of my all time favorite videos from back in the day and inspired me to no end. Keep checking back or subscribe to my YouTube channel!

GTV

Time for another voyage to the past, this time with GT Bicycles and the video GTV. If I’m not mistaken this was the first video by GT and I was real excited to see this when it first came out.

Mainly because of the Josh White hype thanks to the cover and interview in Freestylin’ Magazine which had made him out to be a real honest-to-goodness superhero when it came to vert riding.

 

This video really cracks me up. I’m putting together a DVD with some of these old school videos and I’ll be adding a commentary track that I think a lot of you will really dig. I’ll post more on that later but for now… enjoy the wacky weirdness of GTV!
