Re: Chicagoland Old School Shootout/ Swapmeet
Where are all the Chicagoland vendors, riders, swappers, the guys with the RAD bikes to show...Chicago is a booming BMX city and this event is offering us everything all in one place. A BMX mecca of sorts. All the events are free, It's a family affair, bring your grill or just order from the concession stand. Convenient location, easy to get to. Professional facility...I could go on, and on, and ON!

Re: Chicagoland Old School Shootout/ Swapmeet
Everyone get the word out, this is gonna be a nice time. Also without letting it all out we have alot of solid sponsors stepping up and donating killer stuff to raffle etc...
Our goal is to make this a yearly event and grow it to something great.

I'd like to. Probably gonna bring my oldest boy with me, too. I'll bring his OS bike along to see if he wants to participate in that.
I know which bike I'm going to ride in the OS race, I just need to get a different front sprocket and get the brakes dialed. I hear that is a must at The Hill.![]()
The accumulated filth of all their sex and murder will foam up about their waists and all the whores and politicians will look up and shout "save us"...
And I'll look down and whisper "no".

Re: Chicagoland Old School Shootout/ Swapmeet
Okay Earl, not wanting to split hairs here. The rules say no V-brakes. What about cantilevers? Need to know because I am trying to convince someone to ride. Caliper brakes only, or just no v-brakes?
Please don't let me buy any bikes from you. I have an addiction. You wouldn't want to be an enabler, would you?

Re: Chicagoland Old School Shootout/ Swapmeet
Hey BOB we are trying to keep things oldschool, so by regulating some minor components. We can assure that everyone is on period correct bikes with less advantage given to the bikes, and more is given to the rider. We want to see the vintage/oldschool racers come out to play....

Re: Chicagoland Old School Shootout/ Swapmeet
I got one more coming
my 1987 Schwinn Predator QuarterDash(misdemeanor) A criminal offense that is less serious than a felony and generally punishable by a fine, a jail term of up to a year, or both
and she is no stranger to the track either
here she is sitting in a holding pen next to Cry Baby ![]()

misdemeanor before she went bad on me...
I hope to see your bike in the holding pen at The Hill BMX on Sept. 17 ![]()
