So the wife and I are going to England tonight for 14 days to vist my dads family and luckily going to the MX2019 BMX show on Saturday(I will post pics when I’m back) any how this monster will be waiting for me at my brothers house. 1975 Graco MX1000 as seen here. Can’t wait to redo it and to top off the 54lb monster I will be taking the Tuff 1’s off and tossing on a set of Moto 1’s just to hit 65 lbs lol. I love the “ugly” look of it however I might do a complete restoration on it. Again I love the way she looks now but we will see. The stickers are very cool.

The cool thing with the new site, you can just drop the video link in. No more embed code and turning html on. This is great

saw this pic on google when searching for something else. i don't have any info but it was so rad i had to post it here.

Seems to happen more often than we think...

Wait for it................FUCK Facebook!!

** SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT ** It is with great pleasure and anticipation that I share the first details regarding the 2020 BMX Society Lifetime Achievement Award recipient. It will be Mr. Bob Osborn. All dates and locations to be announced. This is confirmed. It's going to be another amazing weekend of deep BMX immersion. Stand by for more information regarding the program and other special guests in the weeks and months to come.

I just posted on a thread and it seemed way easy to post content and photos. I may have to jump start my old thread and get busy again. I just grabbed a tacky 'sign of the times' photo of me from 78. LOL

Testing phone upload

Yes. TOTALLY changed the whole mood of the bike. I love it now.

That bike is first class! But I have to ask, why do your electrical wall outlets have the ground at the top? I have heard that in some regions of the country it is a local code requirement.

very clean

December 78 campaign

Ha...For a second there I thought I was looking at suspenders. Sweet hubs. Looks like you had a blast. Thanks for sharing.

Cool....I would love to go there one day. I imagine it to be a total blast. Nice pictures.

I had both images on my bedroom wall and I think I still have them somewhere. Stu on the STR classic image of course. I especially liked the racing shot. Stu for a brief minute with a Beavers (my LBS) co sponsor patch which happened late in 79 right before Redline. I thnk Sewell on the Jag and of course Nachman on the goose bringing it on hard.

Ok, thanks. I've decided to limit the number of bike groups I'm joining on there. It can become too much, too fast. I actually need to prune a few more that I rarely visit. Regarding the way this person is interacting with Jeff....that's a real bummer.

Great pic. Reminds me of the time I was attempting something similar in my basement. My head hit the ceiling pretty hard. That’s not even the punch line, I was 39 years old at the time! Doh!

NorCal badass Dave Vanderspek, gettin crit, Curb Dog style.

Heather O'Rourke (from Poltergeist)

Yes I agree. The lack of an 85 specific one year only style serial is another red flag. For those that dont know, the dropouts were stamped with serials and thrown in a box which were later welded on AFTER THE FACT as the frames were built.

looks real nice brian.

Alll looks great from behind this little twig...:-)

Red one is sick as hell!! Damn that's tight

It's hard to miss me in this footage, I'm sporting some seriously orange Bill Walters racing pants. LOL!!!!!! Racing solo off Bonsai and hacks off the bottom gate. The first close up is a screen grab from the video. The race picture, someone gave me, is from the same day. It is actually one of my favorite pictures from the early days of racing. The last picture is also a screen grab from the video. It is very close to the same timing as the race pic. (I just realized this gives me another 'two angles of the same picture')

Fiola for Vans 1984 Nostazio Vans tribute to the Fiola ad 2009

Its an honor to serve Captain...

Awesome footage!

Sweet Jesus!! Oz himself....leaving now.

Everything is working for me on pc and android.

Can’t seem to post pics but everything else looks to be fine. Never mind wasn’t logged in haha

Newly registered so I guess it’s working now

When I used my bookmark, it said site not available. I hit refresh, and the new site populated. Might be a cache thing.

yeah, it is the most mechanically sound bike I own LOL... never have to do anything, I think I've pumped up the tires one time in the last 5 years... but other than that, it's always ready to go and stays tight and dialed.

looking good

Looks great , worth all the muck around

I logged in and voted. Worked ok on this end (pc, not phone now).

Man, another absolutely killer show...so many people and legends just bumping around. So cool to see bikes from previous events as well as many new killer builds. I don't know how you guys keep jamming these out...Props! As a killer sign of the times that was pointed out to me was that all class winners were OPC crank. Core to the max y'all!! Thanks Steve, I know first hand what these take to do and can't thank you enough my man, what you facilitate with these is amazing. We have to do this again! Mad love everyone... hope to see you all again soon.

And now for some good news... I gave Skip Hess Sr. a call this morning and reached him at home in Somis. He is doing great! His fridge was on the fritz and he didn’t have a huge amount of time, but it was great catching up with him. No talk of BMX at all, however, I did bring up his old Delorean. That car came up recently in a conversation I had with someone here and I didn’t even know about it before! Haha Anyhow, he’s doing great, end of report.

Pure awesomeness?
