I posted this in the BMX bike thread, but it's so purdy, I think it deserves it's own.! Really though, seems like quite a few <FONT COLOR="yellow">GOLD</FONT> ****** on here. so I'm pretty sure you peeps will dig it......some OG's will at least!

Some stuff I came across today.....brought back A LOT of good memories. Mine wasn't GOLD, but it was just as purdy. It's long gone though. That's life.........(I guess)

Anyways, here's what should be the HOLY GRAIL of all OG freestyle peeps, especially Trick Star fans.....Woody Itson on one of the very few <FONT COLOR="yellow">G LD</FONT> plated Trick Stars ever made!?



article on it here:



lots of cool reading, info, & pics on Hutch bikes at this site:

EDIT:

Looking at that pic of Woody on the GOLD Trick Star, I just noticed his riding gear matches the Trick Star I built.....baby blue frame+fork, chrome bars+FLIGHT cranks+other small parts, white tires+brakes/+seat, & pink SKYWAY Tuff II's+ wht/pink ODI Mushroom II grips.........weird just realizing the coincidence.....don't recall building it to match Woody's gear. Baby blue has just always been one of my favorite colors & I threw the white+pink+chrome bits in for contrast (pink was pretty hot back then though....80's preppy days)

......ban

 

OK...
wasn't there a gold BMX in the X Games?...
anyway tight *** pants on a bmx

 

Reminds me of the old BMX movie "Rad"

 

i already knew that not everyone would dig the subject matter & pics, but that's what makes me appreciate them even MORE.

Only the TRUE OG's have the understanding of how RARE & pimp <FONT COLOR="yellow">GOLD</FONT> Trick Stars are! (or ANY of them for that matter)

 

wow

a gold plated bike

thats kinda dumb

 

dave mira had a GOLD bike in the X-games..

 

I had one of those, but not gold. It was my favorite bike ever. I think I had the magazine issue with those pix in it. Damn I'm old

 

you dont ride that do you?

 

Always wanted a Hutch when I was a lad, we didn't have alot of money so all I had was Huffy Pro Thunder II

 

*lol* damn!! i used to have a trickstar II til some ********/thief made off with it

speaking of O.G's, what happened to fiola, martin A, and all the other riders from back in the day??

very close to the original ...the pegs on the front forks are a tad too low when compared to the OG trickstar..

that IS an OG Trick Star.....it just isn't one of the OG gold ones. the guy had everything plated and tried to replicate one as close as possible but using as many OG parts as he could find. Details are in the link/article i posted after the pics, but he even got Woody Itson to donate an OG set of the special stickers made for the gold Trick Stars!

oh, but there were 2 different versions of the Trick Star though....the early ones had small flat platform like front pegs on the front forks. People were having problems w/them breaking them off, so Hutch switched to welded on round pegs---version I had.

also, Trick Star frame+forks were mostly made in the US, but the later ones were made in Taiwan. Supposedly, you could tell by the rear top tube platform. The US made ones would have the platform tubes going past the support tubes. The Taiwan ones just cut off at the supports.

 

damn i always wanted to get my hands on one of those...but i was too busy racing in the jr. 20 class, that bike would have been too big for me, LOL!! dope post

 

OMFG!!!

LUCKYYYY!!!
