The 1st 900 no-hander...

3 peg gang.

No hander 900, to bar impaled leg.

just take my money!

Annnnnd why is it there? The owner better not ride it...but the tubes did not pop from the impact unless they were a slow leak-he kept going and hammered out a few more airs, a 540 and a flair in his run. Also the person took a peg off, cause he ran 4 at that time.

I knew the guy who won Allan Cookes Xgames winning bike from BMX plus like 17 years ago, and rode it. He then got it stolen. Was a huge bummer. I would have hung it on a wall.

This very bike:

Quite certain that when matt rode 3 pegs he took off the back right one. Totally the opposite in this pic. Could it have just been his sig that he signed? Back in the day the pros rode their own completes. Also check out that 15 inch back end!

Walmart bike..

I had a Butcher sig that same year.



All chromoly, powerbites, proper chrome rims, superforks, 120psi tires.

Thing was no Walmart bike.

That is so sick! I always liked the dirty one thirty, used to see the ads in dig/ride for the top level hoffman completes! Was only 13/14 at the time so could never afford it, didn’t stop me dreaming though!

Mat gave it to Big Island Mike, I don’t believe directly after he landed the 900, so the setup changed during that time. The bike was a gift to Mike and Bike Factory, the shop here. There’s a note written to Mike on the right side of the toptube, I’ll snap a pic next week.

And don’t worry, it’s well looked after, been hung up on the roof for display since it was given.

Rad-proper tribute for a huge moment in BMX.

I'd love to see some of the current top pros hop on a bike from that era and see what they can handle.

Same with having "fun" contests where a guy who ONLY rides street has to ride trails etc. Maybe even just a video contest like Aspire.
