Not really into them, but I wished I still had my Hutch Trickstar from the mid 80s. I also had a Haro Master that was a year or two older that was sweet. I probably wouldn't use them too much now, but could use one to tool around the neighborhood.

yeah, although I don't have any I still enjoy seeing and reading about stuff from BITD.
Lots of old school pros and ams, and in fact the infamous Bob Osborn aka Oz from BMXA has recently been posting. Pretty unreal!
Don do you remember Thruster bikes? Weren't they located on the East coast?

Hell yeah, I remember Thruster. Tim Judge was on their team for a while before Hutch. I loved the Tri-Power frames - used to see a lot at the local race track in the early '80's.

Old school is great- I mean RAD!! Geometry is lousy (now I blame my lack of skills when I was younger on bad geometry!), but the era was fun. I still have my acid sketched Hutch Trickstar with Lavender tires, Lavender cables and lavender Nippon brakes (which never really worked)! I Worked as a dishwasher at 14 for that bike- lost the girlfriend from working weekends back then, but I saved the bike! (Girlfriend story is true and I had to add it to offset the Lavender thing)

Yeah. OS bmx is sweet. My roots run WAAY deep. I sold it all, bought it all back on E Bay and Vintage bmx.com, then sold it all again! Collecting isn't really for me, I like to break shit.
