Redline was a bad ride back in the day, I remember Cook Bros. had a sweet frame, GT was still a small company, Hutch had some good stuff, Mongoose had that chrome frame with the big headtube gusset, there was PK Ripper too, I could go on and on.
Z-rims and Oakley 3's (ergonomic grips) were hot. Arai aluminum rims were strong.
This was way before this ramp stuff, the bikes were super light and precision.
Stu Thomsen was the man, 'cause he was like three times the age of all of the competition. I always figured he was a ringer.
There was that INSANE movie called "Rad", with that scene when they play "Dream weaver" at the dance, and then...........Oh, man.
