Definitely appreciate this one! I started riding in 2000, the guys a couple years older than me were on Frames like the Hoffman Taj, Deebo, etc. Few had Fit Series 1's, couple Barcodes! I got my first aftermarket frame after saving for the whole year & begging my parents & family for money to go towards a T1 Frame! Got myself a beautiful Red Wesselcode I never ever should have sold it! The Garrett Code is something else though! VERY Special Frame! I'd love to get a Custom Frame based around one one day!
This reminds me of my cousins bike he still runs the first demolition parts and has the 2001 fit Aiken aftermarket frame with the rock hand on the head tube
Haha. I had a Hoffman Deebo. It was the same as the Taj model but after he and Joe left to start T-1. It was a White with blue metal flake painted TANK. Loved it. Very nice collection especially the Van Frame, got me in the feels.
my first bmx video was e t when it came out. am not a bmx'er myself i must add (my co-ordination and bike handling skills are terrible tbh) but i did have a karlhoff bmx as a child that was grey with blue pads and anodised components. respect to all of you who can ride bmx (i do love watching bmx videos and seeing the bikes). may your tires always land rubber side down 👍
Really Sweet collection, definitely my era when growing up, I remember hitman, Ben Snowden rode for them back in the day after he left Gt bikes, I remember having the hitman barfight 4 pc bars wish I still had them
Duuude at 1:02 As a kid I was obsessed with the GT Speed Series alum bikes but they were too expensive at the time, so I got the GT Interceptor! Then a couple years after that GT came out with those box style chainstays with built in chain tensioners and I nearly lost me mind haha!
You can't remember how old you are, that's when you know you're getting up there LOL And if that kid never watched videos, wait till he finds Props. The props series videos are gonna blow his mind😁😁
A buddy of mine got his hands on a prototype T1 Taj frame about 20 years ago and unfortunately his bike got stolen but about ten years I happened to see someone riding it and was able to buy it back for $50 and surprisingly it was about 90% the same after all those years
Back in the 90’s I found out my buddies GT power series was recalled and he got a brand new power box series frame that was like 5 years newer. We were so stoked. It looked just like his!
Robi SST was my first good USA made bmx bike! They clean up really nice and you can find original and repop decals for it. I love the rest of your collection! I had a similar Mongoose when I was a kid and it unfortunately was destroyed in a house fire. 😩
That's not a Mean Street unfortunately, the headtube isn't reinforced and the dropouts aren't correct. Nice T1s tho and I'll take the Ruby frame! Lol 🏴☠️
