Freestyle Hoodies
Description: Founded in 1978, BMX Plus! Magazine is the longest running BMX publication the world has ever known. They were there as BMX racing was born until their final issue in 2015 making it 37 years straight without missing a single issue. While that alone is impressive, especially making it so far in the internet age for what is without question a niche market while maintaining their consistent quality throughout is truly an accomplishment all involved should be proud of.
Description: UNI BMX are credited with creating the lightest bicycle seats ever produced, making them popular with racers looking for the edge that shaving off a few ounces off their race bikes might provide. In addition to their ultralight once piece seats, UNI also made number plates, grips, race pants, jerseys, and more, all of which maintained the company's 'lighter is faster' mantra. This design reflects UNI's iconic rainbow logo that went into use in the '80s.
Description: BMX Bandits is a 1983 Australian action film about three teenagers who discover a stash of walkie-talkies, and decide to make a quick buck by selling them. Unfortunately, the equipment belongs to a gang of hardened criminals who need them for their next job, and will do anything to get them back. The film was initially released as Short Wave in the United States, but would regain it's BMX Bandits title when it made its way to home video.
Description: Torker 2 was introduced only after Torker's bankrupcy in 1984. At that time the Torker name was purchased by Seattle Bike Supply (SBS). Then acquired by the Marui Brothers, who also owned Tioga. It was Marui who launched the Torker 2. Torker was operated under Marui until sometime in the late 80's when SBS reacquired the brand.

Description: Founded in 1963, Skyway Recreation is without question one of the original innovators in BMX racing, and aside from their composite wheels, they're probably best remembered for producing one of the first BMX freestyle teams. The team toured seemingly non-stop, putting on expositions and demos at just about every bike shop and shopping mall in America (and beyond), all in promotion of their cutting edge freestyle products and complete bikes.
