Either song goes well with your ballet of bikes there.

I think the best part of the video is vision street wear sign on the ramp. Vision gator skateboard would have been a dream come true for me. I raced a pimped out mongoose at this time in my life. I sucked at it too.

My favorite bmx rider of all time Joey Garcia for schwinn. check this video out fast forward to 15:53. not really from the 80's but late 90's is a good time too.
