Eddie Fiola and Martin Aparijo put on an improvised freestyle show before the "Get a Clue" ride through Long Beach at the 40 years of BMX Cyclebration on 11/13/10. Video by Marc Dewey, stills by Andy Dewey.
the most important thing about these guys are they were the OG's of this sport layed all the ground work for anyone and their level of trickery today, back then the 80's it was comparable if Eddie blasted a 6 or 7 foot air at the pipe line as if someone pulled a quad back flip at pastranas place today it was all next level so be thankful for these guys and the passion they have for this sport and life style we call BMX freestyle
you all probably dont care at all but does anyone know a method to log back into an Instagram account?? I was dumb lost my password. I appreciate any help you can offer me
@Kareem Callum I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site thru google and Im waiting for the hacking stuff atm. Seems to take quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
The Chairman and The King - throwing down!!! We grew up in an amazing time - HBO would air RAD every couple of days and we would wait through the whole movie to see these Bad-Ass dudes during the end credits. When we finally got a VCR we could rewind and watch them over and over again.... that was the original RU-vid and these guys were the stars!!!
Absolute legends. Fiola's tricks are so basic, but they way they are preformed they are loaded with style and really stand out over Martin's more technical tricks. Love these guys.
I was a Gen X BMX kid of the '80s, these guys are legends.... No internet, so i couldn't wait for the latest edition of BMX plus to come in the mail and see what new tricks these guys where doing.
Thats incredible to see these "older guys" out there busting it. They havent missed a step in all these years. I always was a HUGE fan of Eddies...Great ridding guys!
Back in the 80s where I lived, we could watch any of the competitions, if they were even televised back then. I saw a lot of Eddie Fiola's vert pics in magazines, but damn he's a good flatlander! I love the moonwalking!
man i worshipped these two guys back in the days of Rad and BMX Plus magazine lol. i think i was about 13 or 14. i've moved on to mountain biking but i still love to watch the old freestylers!
i used to live and breath this stuff back then.i took on two jobs so i could afford a car and still pay for my bikes.i'm in my mid 40's and still like to bust a move now and then.i still have a haro master,hutch trick star and skyway t/a!
This is awesome to see! Thanks for posting. Was that Woody jumping in at the end! These guys got me into Freestyle from the very 1st time I saw the trailer to rad and all the top guys were doing flatland in the fog! Thank you!
Nice riding guys. Our dad Crazy Lacy you both know, always taught us that flat land shows what you got. A rider can't flatland, he's not much of a rider, Stay Furm !!
with all of the "old School" bike stuff getting attention these days, its nice to see the attention placed on what some of the riders who actually made it everything that it was are doing now... and that they still farken' rip!
First time I saw a trickstar I had to have one and a few years later had a few co-sponsors. Long live freestyle. Ground gets no love at all now days. Had pics of Itson on my wall
I was doing many of these tricks back in the early 80s on my Schwinn sting. then my bike got stolen and I went off to college. That was the end of having fun in my life...
