Mike Buff & RL Osborn 1984 Old School BMX Video 

The Golden Age! What a year, what a summer!

Skoal dip, a bit of weed, Checked vans, Kuwahara KE-1 and being able to do a flat "Table top". These things made you king of my neighbourhood. How times have changed. So bad ass and so innocent all at the same time.

this is back when it all started!...classic RADNESS!!....by the 2 pioneers of bmx!!....AWESOME!!....I lived these days...these guys were my IDOLS!!....AWESOME!!..

Such a very different era and world. If you didn't talk to your friends on the phone, you'd probably find them riding somewhere. And we didn't stress about that, but now everything's at our finger tips. We really appreciated mastering tricks in those days, and not taking things for granted as much. I hadn"tseen R.L and Buff riding together until now, so l'm glad its accessible.

"The more noise you make the higher my voice is gonna go"

Bobs Curls from back in the day are definitely missed! Thank you for sharing this

Saw Dizz Hicks and Mike Buff back in the day! Great stuff!

great stuff; things have come a long way....

Saw RL in Texas do a bar ride, blew my mind

Mike Buff... I had Z-rims awesome bringing me back

Thanks!!!!

Man, the sport has come so far. Those tricks don't stand the test of time. That video does bring back memories tho. Those days all i cared about was BMX

He is really a good dude.back in "1987" he showed up at my track " the plunge" in Bakersfieldo California..gave us tips and signed autographs.. 2 kids ruled that place..jay "jaws" mguire & dameon bernal...I loved aba

They should make a movie about the roots of bmx, like they did with lords of dog town.

As good as these guys were and are the progression of the sport makes these tricks look really lame in today’s standards 😂

It sad Scot breithaupt turn into a druggie😢

Back in the good old days

Awesome old school freestyle 👍🏼The announcer looked like a guy named Fred Blood ? Anyone from back in the day would remember who he is

R.L. and Bob Haro. Nuff said!!!!

My pal and me drove a couple of hours from PA down to Rockville MD to see these guys, I think it was the summer of 84. Different announcer though, thank God. The one in this video was really annoying

great stuff! back in 84 I bought my first freestylin mag and these guys were my heros! nowadays the crowds are louder but freestyle has always been the best Sport .....hardest trick in the flat-world.....pedal spin....yeah....right.....thanks for posting!!

Ha Ha I still have the famous Mike Buff poster on the kickturn ramp doing a one hander one footer.... Classic:)

This vid is great! The announcer's voice was hilarious! He sounded like a girl. Buff n RL FTW!

its so funny how some of the old ticks change there name over the years

I wish I still had my Redline RL-22....Im so mad for getting rid of it.....I want it back!

I met them in the early 1980s in Wisconsin I was almost as good as they were I even had a BMX action Jersey JT pants boy they bring back the good days never had a care in the world

Man, if these trcks had not been created, the BMX would not be the same.

those heavy tuff wheel rims! dear Lord. remember those?

Boy! Flatland was a total dumpster-fire back then....but already 1 year later it was crazy

Be much better without the annoying announcer

HAY WERE ARE THE FOOT PEGS THATS FUNNY NO PEGS.

Awesome grass roots of the sport of freestyle.

I heard RL was an big ego piece of work, and now hes a business owner from what I hear. Isnt he the son of the legendary Bob Osborn, the once photographer of BMX ACTION?

Super cringe on the microphone

They where all rice kids of the big 80s so of course their parents have money to invest in their BS poor kids don't have it made that way
