The cool thing is these were used from The Bike Gallery in Portland as they used us to test and feel and use. I have from BMX Action 1977 to all the GO issues. So we have used them from Jay Graves, Ken Pliska, Darrell Young, Ben Joy, these are very Cool.
Old School Bmx Vintage I have hundreds of magazines. This one is September 1985 BMX Action Magazine it covers decent, but I think this is the only one. Has only read a few in 1985. This is one of the magazines that we used them at The Bike Gallery and is missing properly two full pages.
Advertising is everything. Everything is decent. Racing at Ascot.
The days of Kirk Chrisco he was winning big-time in Pro. I love the coverage because when I came back in the 90s it was the same. Gary Ellis kicking butt. Darrell Young Again.
If you think about it, many of these guys were on with Supercross. Some of these racers I still know each other (kinda bummed a few have passed on) like Deanna Edwards, Missy and others.
The Bike Gallery was kicking ass with 800 and mail big time.
This is tons of this back then. Totally cool. The Stu, Mike Poulson, Clint Miller, Mike Buff, Dave Marietta, Eddy King, Mike King, JG Garonzik, TJ Judge, Tommy Brackens, Harry Leary, Hot Shots, ABA, Big Time on Cruisers, Patterson, Hutch, Oakley, JT Racing USA, Uni Plates and Seats, Racing, Oakley big time, Bullseye, more stuff.
Like I said, I have double and triple magazines I am keeping the other singles just selling off the multiples.
Harry Leary, Stu, Brent Patterson, Bob Haro, JMC, Greg Hill. Pretty cool.
This is when we raced in Fun Run or Blue Lake. I would get some cool things from the magazine in 51st and Powell in the little shop I think it was called Baja Cycle.
My first purchase was Oakley grips Yellow for my 1976 Schwinn Scrambler from Baja Cycle. I still have that bike right now.
These have been sitting for a while in the attic seriously perfect.
Very light, pretty cool.
Shipped with USPS Priority FedEx.
Well…. this is Ken Pliska and way back when we had a little place on this computer…..Roost….BMX…. and we had a bunch of old race bikes from Portland... Chicago…. Florida…. California…. Oklahoma….. Texas…... Seattle….and we thought this was cool….
Cash Matthews, Danny Garcher, Darrell Young, Dino Mattoni, Eric Filley, Dave Archibald, you've always been together because that's what it is…. the second you go oh wait a minute I know that I know that I know….. that's why Bill Ryan and Supercross has been a sponsor for the last long time is like that just like Roger Berg with Uni or Jay Graves by The Bike Gallery those people made us…...
Back then….I had just started BMX in Oregon…..I had what we began in the 1970s, 1980s, 1990s, 2000s, 2010s, and now we are doing the 2024. As a young kid…. I grabbed three number ones when I was a kid…..1982, 1983, 1984.
I'm the older guy... think about this. I put number one plates and that 7 more times. Add that to the old before they had to the three of…. to that makes it up 10 number one plates..
That was 25 years when eBay became a household name. We had less than 2 of the total pages of BMX that's it.
Well….I am older…...a few of my friends have passed on….. actually….a lot of...are gone now.
I'm lucky….I had a stroke in February 2016 and I had the best people around me and things were looking good. But…. in the same year….a car hit me….that was September 2, 2016, the year…….well…. not so much….
So….. I'm coming up 8 years after that car hit me…….. It's almost 8 years….and I'd like to try to put all the extra stuff online because…..I don't need them…..I know it will take time….but I don't care. I was everywhere….. eBay, Craigslist, BMX forum everywhere…… so it'll take awhile to build what it was. Remember I was running BMX through all of Oregon and tracks thru USA BMX…..
I think I'll keep maybe a hundred full bikes but everything else has to go bye-bye and I mean bye-bye.
I'm thinking that the motorcycles can go now…. that means the Elsinore several and other old motorcycles can go Yamaha can go as well. I'm thinking that BMX vintage can go as well
I'm not sure if I can let go of the 1966 Corvette the 427 with 41000 original….. because a lot of these things have there been yet I'm thinking I want to keep them but I don't know…you know I still have Thunderbirds, Mustangs, more Corvettes, all kinds of stuff still in storage.
So, another problem from the accident is I can't talk the same way….. I can text okay but just can't talk very well….. even though I'm brilliant that's why it's kind of odd….. do you understand?
So I'm going to try and start listing things but it's going to be awhile so it will take time while you understand right?
I'm not spelling correctly I used to but I'm trying to do things it's going to be a while but you'll understand the way I'm trying to talk okay.
That is the Aphasia. It's a bitch. If you research people like Bruce Willis or Sharon Stone, you may understand.
