Damn I miss this guy. Charlie Huber of PAAFA was instrumental in making the PA NJ scene happen in the 80’s. So many great riders filtered through his comps and he hosted every team out there every summer. Just a great guy. Here he gets coverage with his yearly PA comp in Grundy’s ice rink. You can see Roger Sullivan blasting a fakey on the HVTT quarter and future flatland world champion going OTB with a handstand. Great times in the golden age of east coast BMX freestyle. #bmx #bmxfreestyle #oldschoolbmxfreestyle #oldschoolbmx #oldschoolbmxlife Check it out...
From the first real show I ever did at Clifton Speed Center. Summer 1984. We had our 6’ stick frame quarter and Dan’s metal wedge and went at it. The show was nuts and the crowd was insanely big. Rumor has it that Ralph Sinisi of @animalbikes was in the crowd that day… it was fantastic of Fran from Clifton to have us do that show AND pay us. Just an awesome woman! The bygone days of BMX freestyle in NJ. #njbmx #bmxfreestyle #oldschoolbmxfreestyle #oldschoolbmx @harobmx @bob_haro @vans @vansbmx66 Check it out...
Man this is like over 25 years ago!! Anyway, during the dead age of BMX freestyle, I still had my old HVTT quarter and did drag it around on occasion. This time to the first Dunellen Street Fair in my town. We were a hit and I got in a few local papers. Riding of course a @harobmx master. Good times even though BMX freestyle had gone underground. #oldschoolbmxfreestyle #oldschoolbmx #njbmx #haro #njbmxfreestyle Check it out...
Stop making fun! Yes this was a “trick” in 1984. Spin around on the tire, boom go back…stone age freestyle on the first @redlinebicycles freestyle bike. Still rocking my @vans shoes. Dems was deh days! #bmx #njbmx #njbmxfreestyle #oldschoolbmxfreestyle #oldschoolbmx oh and I’m wearing a cut off 1981 @bob_haro freestyle tour shirt. #reppin Check it out...
If you were around the early 80’s BMX freestyle scene in NJ, PA and a little of NY, you probably saw this truck carrying a bunch of yahoos all over. My Ford Bronco II lifted for your pleasure. On the back, my first ramp trailer…which sucked but got our bikes places. The earliest if BMX freestyle days in NJ. #oldschoolbmxfreestyle #njbmx #bmx #oldschoolbmx #pabmx Check it out...

In honor of my fave series @strangerthingstv this is a shot of the early 80’s High Voltage Trick Team founding members @tomnieradka Tom Nieradka and @bushleagr Matt Young sitting by my old @ford Bronco II. They should totally redo that model! These guys were great and so many hours of practice went down at Matt’s house. Summer of 85ing it. #bmx #njbmx #oldschoolbmxfreestyle #oldschoolbmx Check it out...
Surfer ramp stall. Don’t ask, it was the 80’s we were young. This is on a Haro sport and I never realized that I owned one! LOL! I thought I always owned Masters. Anyway in front of my old Piscataway home on Dan Menapace’s ramp. The salado days. Circa summer of 84. #bmx #oldschoolbmxfreestyle #oldschoolbmx #haro @harobmx #njbmx Check it out...
Answering the question of whether we rode in full uniforms or not in the 80’s. Well I did, but I was nuts. This is in front of Tom “The Madman” Nieradka’s house riding Dan “The Man” Menapace’s short ramp. As you can see I was quite limber as a young man. I also was nuts for @harobmx . Good times in the stone age of BMX freestyle. #bmx #njbmx #njbmxfreestyle #oldschoolbmxfreestyle #oldschoolbmx Check it out...
I like to play in 3D art and back in the 2010’s I did a take off of the movie Heavy Metal’s Taarna and redid her as an avenging BMXer. Same style but instead of some alien animal she is riding a bike. Rock on man. May metal never leave BMX. #bmx #njbmx #heavymetal #heavymetalbmx Check it out...
