From a personal POV, and what I lusted after BITD:

Haro Master
Haro Sport
GT Performer
Hutch Trickstar
Curtis
TA with all the bolt ons

Never really lusted after a DP because they were pretty low end (covers from onslaught...)

You HAVE to have a Performer in there. WIth the world tours of 85 and 86 they brought freestyle to the masses.

The Flying Banana - Iconic FACT!

Agreed.

Double agreed

TA's and Rippers were race bikes used for freestyle end of

I've added a poll for you, is there anything that needs to go in the list before people vote?

By the way you have 6 votes not just 1

The DP, the reason Radbmx exists

The most iconic for me will always be the Gen 1 Haro, and the reason is simple. I saw Bob perform at the NEC on his first tour

best roll backs on the planet too.

What a great thread, I keep checking on which frameset is winning, this is more interesting than the world cup

antiquebmx · « **Reply #43 on:** June 26, 2014, 07:02 PM »

gotta be the gen 1 a full 2 years before the perfomer gotta be surely

the father of freestyle ffs

Not the most iconic by a long way but without the likes of Stompin Stu and his Goose pushing the boundaries freestyle would be very different. Loads of the guys back then took inspiration from the skaters and even custom BMX/skate tracks were made.

Nothing to do with the topic but I thought I'd share anyway

Stu in 77

Mark Pippin 77 at the Van Nuys track
