Admin S.Brothers Posted December 8, 2010 Admin Share Posted December 8, 2010 I've come across some cool shots of team vans. I dig that 70's and 80's styling. The "team van" was such an essential component of the old school BMX experience. We've all heard the classic tales about team vans... from Sandy's stories about speeding tickets for the Diamond Back team van, to the myriad Briethaupt van stories that have become mythologized into some of the essential stories in BMX folklore. Whether it was the early cross country Scot Enterprises with the plywood bunks that were prone to collapse to the camo bus... probably the best known team whip of all. Some of you have your own classic tales no doubt. Anyway... if you have or find some good pics of team whips post 'em up.

Admin S.Brothers Posted December 8, 2010 Author Admin Share Posted December 8, 2010 I took this shot at the 1981 ABA Grand national in OKC. SE bus... I was in awe. SE was core. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I am the owl... Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 That Tuf neck van is badass. I'd still drive that with an REO Speedwagon shirt and some tinted glasses 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldschoolbmx Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 Great post, I love old vans. Whenever I see old BMX race pics or video I look for the vehicles in the background--of course they were mostly vans. I would love to have an old Dodge Tradesman with slotted mags.

I seem to remember a Convertible Low rider? and what is that I see in the background? In the back of the grey and white photo, yes that would be Eddies CRX in the Pic, I think it was taken at pipeline. There are some newer pics floating around with Eddie and his CRX that are newer *think within the last few years, but this pic is from back in the day. The only other vehicle that I seem to remember is a low rider mini truck convertable with bmx bikes in the back, Freestyle most likely.
