Great post man. Mabey the best of the day. I never knew that Tinker rode bmx. I believe i was inspired by him. During his early c;dale days. And John Tomac. The legend.

I'll pass this on to some of my friends.

here's an old Tinker interview.

1980! what I find really cool about the pictures in that interview is kids are still doing those exact same things. footplants, 360's and tabletops.

Sick history men..look at his wheels. never seen so much spokes

sweet. that was a different trailer too, wasn't it?

those wheels are Mongoose Moto Mags. worth a mint today.

TN- I don't know if that was a different version or not. awsome either way. the guy behind this film has been making videos for years. I think he was one of the first guys to put out an independent bmx video. he is a member of a group of riders known as The Plywood Hoods. another member of The Hoods is Kevin Jones who invented about 95% of all modern flatland tricks.

this film was made by someone who has had his heart in bmx for decades.
