Welcome CosmicAvenger, Radical Rick and Toxic Avenger. See you guys on the trails.
 
Anyone remember back when bike magazines were $2

Best issue ever of BMX Plus! March '85
Jose Yanez had only one trick, but it was a killer. The crowd moved back to give him a clear approach to a narrow takeoff ramp about five feet high and a wide landing ramp about six feet high. Jose came tearing across the floor at full speed and hit the first ramp. As he soared into the air, he pulled back on his handlebars of his Hutch, and as the crowd gasped in amazement, he and his bike completed a full back flip in the air, came down to a save landing on the second ramp, and rode away. There was no doubt about it, Jose Yanez had succesfully completed the greatest freestyle trick ever attempted.

Yo...welcome aboard. Its funny you posted the pic of the BMX Plus mag. I used to have a subscription. I remember all the ads that you let you order parts C.O.D. They also had the ones that let you order stickers for just a few bucks. All my lawn-mowing money went into that mag. I even mail ordered my first BMX bike, a Haro Master, back in 1987. I remember ordering the Odyssey Pitbull in 1988. What a sham that brake turned out to be!
 
yep...and if I remember, weighed a ton, although I didn't seem to care much about the weight of my bike back then.

YES! I remember those sweet adds, ordering stickers and ordering my first 'freestyling' bike... a Hutch Windstar. Haro Master was a sweet ride to have back then, green right? I wish I still had all those BMX plus mags, they fetch a pretty penny on ebay! 😎
