The unreleased BMX segment from 1981’s motorcycle documentary, On Any Sunday 2. Narrated by Larry “Supermouth” Hoffman and featuring legendary riders like Scot Breithaupt, Stu Thomsen and Toby Henderson, as well as many others. Especially worthy of note are the last few clips of Donny Jones—this is the only known footage of him in action. Larry, Scot and Donny are no longer with us… #greystokebmx #bmxlifer #bmx
The Greystoke contingent was well represented at the @radshare Rumble in Richmond yesterday and no one represents BMX better than @nina_burrito Whether she’s the only woman on the course or encouraging other girls/boys/everyone around her, she’s always inspiring and always awesome. Greystoke salutes you, Nina B!🌯🌯🌯 #greystokebmx #bmxlifer #bmxwomen #bmx
Recent college grad and “Under the radar renaissance BMX icon”* Chris Hallman @hallperson and @rad_bmx04 in classic PA form. Hallman’s caption sums it up perfectly “50 and over “fountain of youth” practice at the Chops Olympic training center with Lou of the fine.” *Title provided by @crandallfbm #greystokebmx #bmxlifer #bmx

22 years ago this week, @CondorBMX entered the BMX record books for yet another time after landing the world’s first no-handed 900 on vert @XGames 2002 in Philadelphia, Pa.
“I’d been wanting to do that trick for about 13 years,” Hoffman told ESPN reporters after his run, which netted him a silver medal in BMX Vert.
Hoffman remained the sole owner of the no-handed 900 until @SteveMcCann landed it in 2011. That’s nine whole years where Mat Hoffman was the only person in the world to land a single trick. These days, nine years is basically a few Instagram posts, but back then, it was a long time.
PS: We probably need to do a Mat Hoffman post at least once a week…

25 years ago this month, the @briancastillo interview from @RealPropsBMX premiered in issue 32. During the interview, Castillo, who had left @SandMBicycles to start @VolumeBikes, spoke about Volume’s new handlebar, named after @Moeller_Chris (the “Mad Dog” bar). Hilarity ensued.

Time to make everyone feel really old. Twenty years ago this month, @RealPropsBMX embarked on Road Fools 13. Unlucky 13 featured “teams” assembled by @VandeverHoman, @MeBeringer, @CrandallFBM, and @captnshipwreck.
Highlighted here is day two street riding in Denver, if I’m not mistaken, at the same spot Joe Rich got kicked out of on Road Fools 1 in 1998. (If I’m mistaken, I’ll edit the caption later.) It’s Van, lateral gapping out to feeble on a brick ledge and riding away before any security could threaten him.
The Road Fools series fired out so many amazing videos in such a short period of time that it doesn’t feel like it could possibly be two decade ago, but as @officialdeltron once said, “No one knows the time, pass me by.”
The Road Fools Blu-ray boxset is a must own, go buy it now.

28 years ago this week, @CondorBMX was drafted to recruit BMX riders for the opening and closing ceremonies of the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta, Georgia. There was one hangup though: ESPN had scheduled a Destination Extreme event in Chicago for the same week. (Yes, the X Games/Olympics rivalry goes back that far…)
So instead of canceling the Olympic opportunity, Mat and Steve [Swope] asked Hal Brindley and Steve Buddendeck to help run the comp, and things went off without a hitch. In the end, it allowed for some different riders to get some TV time and walk away with some at the time hefty cash purses ($1500 for first place…)
In the Stuntmen Street category, @MikeEscamilla rode the park course like it was a video part and walked away with first place, but of course, the only version of it could find was from ESPN Deportes. Long live the ‘90s no-footer.

29 years ago this month, this infamous gap sequence from Robbie Morales @cultcrew appeared in Ride BMX Magazine, shot by @gbradmcdonald.
“I was just thinking about @condorbmx getting in the zone while I was pedaling towards the gap,” said Morales. The water didn’t provide a cushion and Robo ended up with 11 stitches in his arm. Pretty sure this ended up as an ad for speakers too.

🍓It’s no Kool Aid commercial, but seeing BMX anywhere on TV in the 80s was pretty sweet. New Strawberry Honeycomb Cereal, circa 1983. #greystokebmx #bmxlifer #bmx

Watson Weekend continues. The only known video footage of Jeff Watson. Smokin’ the Pipeline full pipe like no one before or ever after. The free fall from 10:30 is insane. Just like the announcer says. From “Action Now TV”, circa 1981. #jeffwatson #greystokebmx #bmxlifer #bmx
Let’s debunk this once and for all. This dude is not 68 and this is just made-up BS about his grandson. John Healy, the rider in the video was 48 years old at the time this was filmed, 6-ish years ago, making him about 54 now. There is, however, some element of mystery about John. Word has it that he went grey in his 30s, putting him into Greystoke territory early on. He shreds on a bike, no matter how old he was then or is now, and for that, we salute you 🫡 Now, PLEASE STOP SHARING THIS STUPID VIDEO. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Shout out to our crack myth buster team of @bdc4130 @drwadeaminute and the army of Facebook BMX sleuths. #greystokebmx #bmxlifer #prematuregrey #bmx
