First Time Out on a 1987 GT Pro Freestyle Tour! 

Awesome! I actually just got back my 1988 GT Pro Freestyle Tour and 1988 Diamond Back Strike Zone Woody Itson that I left with a friend back in 1992 when I went away to college. Gonna get them back into riding shape and post some vids.👍

Thanks! And nice! These are always fun to do. Been meaning to nail down some new ones. Hoping for some new tricks and combos this summer.

Ha! Thanks! Classic videos. I watched 1 and 2 again when I got back into bikes last year. Couldn’t remember some tricks names…. 😁

@@ChrisWong13 Nice old school whip...always cool to see some throwback moves done well.

@@rodf73 Appreciate it. I’m hoping to relearn some more old school tricks, and new school tricks eventuality.

@@ChrisWong13 Wow! Dude!...just peeped your channel! Your older than I thought, if you had those bikes in the late 80's. I'm 48 and cruise around on my 26" Kink Drifter trying not to get too stupid. ---just subbed Rod =)

Right there with ya. I’m 47. Thanks for the sub!

Thanks!

Very true! Even though it’s a 35 year old bike, it still feels very rideable and compares well to modern bikes and geometry. 👍

Thanks a lot! Appreciate it... 💪

Yeah, just a classic color for this bike. I had a white one, and then a black one as a kid. Still wanted a pink one even though black was pretty badass. Glad to get my hands on one again. 👍

That's called a lawnmower.

@@ChrisWong13 thank you. ...bye😊

Thanks so much for that! It took a number of tries on some of these tho, these were just the ones I landed. 😄 Don't get out to ride as much as I want lately.

Yep. Trying to at least. It's fun to relearn some old tricks and relive some of the times when I was a kid. 🤙

Very cool! Sux about the forks. I had a white one and then a black one as a kid. Never had the pink until this bike.

Thanks! In this video, I have these pegs: www.albes.com/products/steel-thread-on-freestyle-bmx-pegs?_pos=3&_sid=8313c4bcd&_ss=r , but I've since found some GT steel pegs from the late 80s or early 90s on eBay.

@@ChrisWong13 Thank you for the reply and info!

Yup. That's actually my kid, so he's around even more than most. 😅

Thanks! It's been restored. Powdered by C4 supposedly before I bought it. Ride em if you got em!

@@ChrisWong13 oh yeah I got ‘em too! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-y546N16Foas.html

Thanks! And agreed. I've since switched the mags out for spokes. 👍

Gotta ride this thing more often. 😁

I had a blast riding bikes as a kid, always look back fondly on those days.

I can tell you as someone who grew up in the 80s. Those times were indeed special. I had a Redline myself. Now I'm reliving those times as I own 3 BMX modern bikes Lol. It's like I discovered the fountain of youth

@Vic Terzian Great to hear! I had the Redline RL 20 in radberry way back. Awesome to hear that you found BMX again too. 👍

Chrome is always classic. 😎 I actually just got a couple of bikes that I had as a kid back from a friend. A black 88 GT Pro Freestyle Tour and a 88 Diamond Back Strike Zone Woody Itson. 👍

Very cool! Thanks! 🤙

You're never too old to ride a bike. 👍

Thanks! Still rides well for freestyle even 30+ years later. 👍

Awesome! I wish I had my OG bikes from back when…

Thanks! Yes, an absolutely classic bike. Glad I found this one recently. I had a black one as a kid and I should have never let it go. I'd say to try to find one again, but prices are through the roof on these kinds of bikes nowadays.

Thanks, man! 💪

Thanks a lot! I used to skate back in the day too, and I skate once in a while nowadays, but not enough to be really natural again. Gotta do more of that. 🤙

@@ChrisWong13 I was really into skating when I was younger but developed a mental block and switched to bmx. I like both though of course

Thanks! I'm in the Northeast, so with the warmer weather coming, I'll be posting videos again.

@@ChrisWong13 I’m in New Zealand

Ah, that's too bad. I bought my bikes with Burger King money.. 😁 Thanks!

Nice, I totally forgot about the MT bikes!! Now I wanna go find an old magazine ad showing one.

Thanks! Great bike! A friend had one back in the day. 💪

Yeah, it is a freestyle bike after all. This was about 30 lbs with mags in this video. It's now a little over 28 lbs with spokes.

@@ChrisWong13 I had the white 5 star rims

@@pelonmusk3210 Classic! 👍

Thanks, Josh!

Yes, sir!

Thanks! Gotta learn some new ones. It's been a bit. 😁

Thanks!

Familiar and new. 😁 Just love having one of these again, it was my last main bike as a kid. I've been riding mostly reissue bikes, which you know are basically modern bikes, since I got back into bikes last year, so it does feel a little different. That's prob down to the flexy mags tho. I'm working on building a set of wheels with Superlace hubs, so I'm hoping to ride it a bit more soon.

@@ChrisWong13 can’t wait to see more bro🤘🤘 - I subbed

Thanks!

Thanks! 💪

Yessir. One of the best bikes ever... 💪

Thanks!

Thanks!

That's really awesome! Agreed, can't beat the original 87. Thanks! 👍

Yeah, but it's fun to try and bring those days back in some small ways. 👍

@@ChrisWong13 If you have fun all is well.

@@andtpfack8243 Very true.

Yeah, they are definitely not original cranks, they are just repop. 😁 I prob would keep repop cranks on this bike even if I had original 80s cranks.

@@ChrisWong13hey that's me. Anyways. They are making these in a couple of years a meeting got leaked hella bad. They have repop seats on Porkchop BMX! Go grab some I have 2 of these and I love em. Thank his GT is pumping these out in a couple if years lmao

@@jules-mi6om Yup, that’s cool! I have a repop seat on now actually. 👍

@@ChrisWong13 I was really high on weed. I was trying to say that a meeting with investors got leaked cause somebody took a photo of the upcoming products and the PFT was on that list.

@@jules-mi6om I thought that’s what you were getting at. Definitely cool! They got my money already. 😁

Thanks! Much appreciated. 🤝

Very cool! The 86 Pro Performer is another classic. Post some riding vids. Thanks! 🤙

Yeah, not a fan of mags, they're too flexy and braking is awful. I have plans for spokes underway. 👍

@@ChrisWong13 are you going with some kind of old school rims on that or something more modern . Peregrine high pressure 48s with sealed Bearings never failed me in the past I have 5 old school Haro,s all with the same Components & all have peregrine high pressure 48s with sealed bearings show Crome . The Haro,s I have are a 1987 Sport , 1988 FSX , 1989 Team Master w/ bash guard , 1990 Air Master & a 1992 Master w/ flat bottom bash guard . All are in pristine condition no rust just some scratches from wear & tear all from that year no re-creations just new sticker kits & original paint all first runs & all from my childhood I even went as far as buying boxes of jive handle grips & Haro Multi surface tires back in the day so I would have them later & they never rotted I use armor all on all of them to preserve them & to keep them from rotting or drying out . Well worth all the birthday money I spent just on rubber for something I needed in the future .nice bike tho love the color .

@@robertlee8400 Very cool! Way to think ahead. Wish I'd done the same for the bikes I had as a kid. I had the 1986 Sport in blue, among others. I am leaning toward a new school set of SE rims with reproduction GT Superlace hubs. You may have seen the hubs mentioned in some of the Facebook BMX groups.

You can't change wheels on that bike, it's a classic

@@429supercj I managed to get my hands on a set of Superlace hubs, so I'll be building those soon. I hear ya, but mags almost make this bike unrideable for me. So flexy and brakes don't work as well...

Thanks! 🤝
