1985 GT Performers. Skyway Tuff Wheels. Haro Master forks. Hutch decals from ‘88. Mongoose Californian frames. The pieces you saved when nobody else thought they were worth saving. This is where they live now.
The decals you wore on your number plate. The pads that came with your first race kit. The frame your dad bought you in ‘87. The flatland pegs your local shop hand-stamped. Most of it’s in landfills now. What survived is in a few people’s garages.
BMX has the Schwinn collectors. The vintage Mongoose forums. The eBay diggers. But there’s no single place where it all lives, gets credited to the right people, and gets remembered properly. So we’re building one.
If you saved it, this is where it goes.
