J.T. Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 Stu was a "Freestyler" before the word was coined. He's riding for SE in '77 gettin' RADICAL! Curb Endo Doin' some IHOPS on Stu's 2003 Proline Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erichevy Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 I showed this one once before about 6 months ago, but this is my replica of the T/A I had as a kid. Took me a long time to find the exact parts, but worth the wait. It was heavily inspired my Scott Freeman's T/A and the BMX Freestyle book posted earlier in this thread. I picked that book up new at a school book fair way back when. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spur Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 No kidding, it would have been a great reference tool to all those whiney ass haters that didn't understand that there wasn't always a time when freestyle specific bikes and frame sets were available.

Admin S.Brothers Posted November 8, 2013 Admin Share Posted November 8, 2013 I think we have another similar thread too... as I recall it also focuses on freestyle bikes before they were marketed as such. It really does go to show how utterly shaped by marketing so many people's point of view really is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RL Paulie Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 Not sure if BrianP checks in here any more or not but he posted a nice race -> freestyle conversion a week or so ago on facebook. I went and found it. Hope he doesn't mind me posting it here, but you guys probably won't be able to see it anyway! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freestyle PHAZE Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 In 84 I built my CW RACING PHAZE1 to race. By the time I finished it the freestyle bug had bitten me. It sucked as freestyler but it sure looked cool. I completely stripped the parts off of it to build my gjs freestyler later that year.
