Sorry no pic....their worth alot now cause the company went under some years back.


Damn that takes me back.. Voris Dixon Cycles, my friend had the race and freestyle models, imported into the U.K mid 80's.

I used to have a GT.

Bought my 10 y/o a bmx few months back, Had to take it to the skate park and have a go. flying round the tight pool took me back to being 13 again.

Nothing but a fence with a guy at the gate taking money :)

To stay on topic I found a few old pics to check out. First one was taken in 1984 underneath the Huntington Beach pier as some guys put on their own little exhibition during the OP Pro surf contest. The second pic was taken in Cocoa beach but I can't put a date on it.

No doubt ,I think Duke has a pic of this piece of shit half pipe we built in his parents driveway, with the VDC in it. I have to get it and scan it. I still go mountain bike riding, its your first taste of freedom (a bicycle):pimp

I can't lie. It is one of the first CDs I ever purchased.

I will need to review the movie before I make any final judgments it has been a while. :2 cents:

Listen, it is definitely one of those corny 80s movies. Its not the goonies. But if you were into bike riding when you are 14-15. It was cool.

It was RAD.

GET THE FUCK OUT >> I did a show there in the very early 80's called "Strange New Sports" .. where they watched us ride our bikes in the park there .. that bowl was still white .. lol .. If you grew up here you probably saw a show called "The Vancouver Show" it used to be on VU13 .. We were invited to do a show for them live on-air .. As well we hit ever mall opening and parade in town .. lol .. life was prety good .. I was actually a Judge at the world freestyle championships held at EXPO 86 .. You would probably know a lot of guys from the old days that I do then well there ya go .. small small world ..

I still ride a bit at the park down the road .. nothing like the old days .. kids to feed and all ..

JasonB 09-08-2009 06:19 PM

Thought I'd bump this thread to see if anyone has seen this Stompin' Stu movie yet. Just bought it the other day & needless to day, it's RAD

holy shit does this bring back memories. i no longer have pictures or even my old bikes. i lived bmx, raced both amateur and pro for a short time. never was much for street freestyle and was into just racing, ramps, and bowls. riding 8-10+ hours a day was delightful and almost like a holiday. riding miles was no task and it was a form of punishment almost when i had to ride the bus to school instead if by bike. i could go on and on like a few of you and it is a blast of old memories, many great and a few painful.

last bike was my blue alloy race inc. remember the day i finished assembling it to take it out for its first ride. the bike was so light that when i reached the small street hill near my house and started to peddle as i would my previous bike and the damn thing fliped up from under me and i landed on my back with my head ringing and at the same time shock and delight in feeling how light that was. was a very sad period when they went out of biz in 84 along with my sponsorship.
