is that a JMC - I spoke with Jim Melton a few years ago, great guy!!

he has resorted to selling on ebay all the stuff he collected over the years in an effort to make ends meet. kinda sad in a way.

It is an Azusa, a JMC tribute bike, built by Supercross, they only built I think 25 20" & 20 Cruisers (I have one of those as well.)
Mr. Melton is truly one of the greats from the sport, hell, he helped make BMX what it is. Sadly, his wife Vera passed in May of last year. JMC bikes & parts are some of the stuff that brings big $$$$.
More BMX & Porsche pix!!

I got the Movie RAD when I was 2 years old, and I used to watch it religiously! I loved that movie. My brother grew up riding bikes from the 80s, and I always wanted a neon green Freestyle bike. I never really stopped riding. Now I am 27, and ride a few times a week. BMX is one of those things in my life that I won't ever give up. Keep on shredding guys!!

^^^Am I seeing it correctly that Jim Bauer is part of Pelican Parts? You're an inspiration man. I watched your Porsche segment on the Odyssey website I think it was...made me believe that a lowly bmx punk kid like myself could have one, lol. I love to see people riding their bikes still! Gives me a lot of hope that in 10 to 20 years I will still be riding.

I had a yellow Schwinn stingray with silver metal-flake banana seat and high rise handlebars.
It had the yellow tassels on the ends of the bars when I first got it but I took those off cause they looked ghey.
I mean, who would want a bike with tassels, or one that was pink?

I had a skateboard back then too, one with the hard clay wheels (back before urethane). They sure were cool when I was 12.


BTW Gary Turner who owned GT was a lying corksucker who ripped me off and sold me a boat that was crap. He knew it but he went to great lengths to disguise the problem and flat out said the engine was perfectly fine and had no problems at all.
The oil was pristine clean, that should have been a hint.
The cracked block didn't show it's head until after a few hours of service when the oil, once again, turned into a milkshake.
Upon disassembly it was evident the heads had just been re-installed after they found the problem and Turner decided, fuch it.
Just put it back together and I'll dump it on some poor SOB.

What year was the Sting-Ray??? I had a yellow one as well,spray painted it black & turned it into a BMX bike, my 1st one. I could wheelie that bike for ever.. Why didn't you take Turner to court??

Woody's REAL Gold Trick Star and he does STILL own it..

Brian, do you have the old BMW action with Fiola washing his slant nose 930? I use to have all of the old mags and I donated them to some neighbor kids a few years ago.

I was heavy into the BMX and freestyle scene during the 80's and early 90's then life got in the way. I still air the tires up on my old Standard 500 STA about every 6 months and take it for a spin.

As for bikes I wish I would have bought as investments, I wish I would have bought all 4 versions of the Hoffman Bikes Evil Knievel model. Those will be worth some coin in the future.
