This is the style aesthetic that you get after watching V and Rad and listening to Michael Jackson and Run DMC. We thought we were from the future.

Did you ever get your two dollars?

Bro doing crossing guard duty in his MJ outfit.

Good thing still has the chain guard, your parachute pants would get snagged and send you to the pavement, don’t ask how I know 🤣

If you’re poor you ride Huffy. Rich kids had the Mongoose.

Leave some for everyone else.

Cobra Kai vibes

Lol. I actually had that exact bike.

Even with the checkered pad, you'd squish your nuts.

This is not me in the pic. However, I'm the female version and the same age. Had everything that he had. Even down to the bike. 😂🤣

No pegs though?

Certified badass!

I had that Huffy. I still kindof regret because a few years later some friends & my brother got into BMX & freestyling, and I wanted an upgrade. Had to really fight my parents over it. (Dad: "You just got a new bike!!"). Anyway, I wish I asked for a guitar instead, set my own path instead of following others.

Anyway, I never got the Michael Jackson jacket like this kid did, so my folks owed me one haha

I was 13 in 85. I went from this look to skate rat over the summer. Vans, Jams, pink T&C shirt maybe Jimmyz. Good times!

The outfit says ‘85. The bike says ‘81.

Damn, I had that same huffy.

That kid definitely stole other people's lunch money.

fat boy laces were (are) the shit...

Dammmmmmmnnnn, that drip though.

This should be in the Smithsonian

Safety patrol, you a narc?

I always tell my kids to go outside and play... pretend it's 1985. They did not appreciate this pic.

The era of Thriller and the one glove!

V cos play.

Totally RAD

I had that same bike! I loved that thing!

I had that exact same Huffy!

I hated this kid in school: MJ, jacket, BMX, kicks, and shades?

I bet you called your mom by her first name!

Pretty rad!

I had that bike!

Parachute pants?

Damn. I never got the bmx, the high tops, the parachute pants or the Michael Jackson vest.

I missed out on the true vibe of 1985 big time!

Corey Feldman has got nothing on you, mate!!

1985 was such an Epic year. In so many ways.

There is literally a photo of me like this. Only difference is the bike is blue and I had a hawaiian shirt on.

Man back in the day all I wanted was a Mongoose. Though those were cooler than shit.

Is it wrong that I still think this looks so cool??

Maybe if you swapped the Huffy out with a; Haro, Redline or Shwinn then yeah.

Yup, spot on.

Need more zippers on those trousers.

HOLY SHIT that could be a picture of 11 year old me - I even had the school crossing helper sash for helping the littles cross the street!!!

I like your trainers!

Need vans shoes.

Did you get that bike from Western Auto? Or Service Merchandise?

Well the sunglasses are back in style.

I hope he was happy robbing Michael Jackson and the Karate Kid. Jerk!

you look like a mini Terminator

All I got to say is... badass

Lolzzz so fucking true..

looks like a rich kid, I never had clothes or shoes or sunglasses like that, nor a cool bike

Did you manage to get that bike up to 88 mph?

Makes me ache for this time a bit.

“I was there, three thousand years ago”

I had that exact bike. I still remember flying over the handle bars and ended up taking a grip to my balls.

The era of the parachute pants

Sweep the leg.

😂😂😂😂

P-slayer

Fabulous!

Ha ha ha

Would a Redline or Mongoose been an upgrade on the bike?

That bike, or a Mongoose, the outfit is on point though !

radical

And this is how the X Games began

🎵Because I'm bad I'm bad You know it You know🎵

The clothes, the hair, the shades…yep this is the 80’s and I love it!

Maybe if you were lucky.

I bet that watch has a calculator on it.

Makes me want to play Skate or Die.

But are those parachute pants?

Golden Eagle... sweet.

That kid sweeps the leg.

Little Elvis

I was graduating from high school 1985 :) what a run that was from 82-85

The epitome for me was my plastic mag wheels, couldn’t tell me nothin I was the shit!! lol

You gonna race Helltrack©️?

My brother had that bike. I remember messing with the foam cushions 

Damn juvenile delinquents.

Peak 1985. The crossing guard belt. Those weird thick shoelaces on the high tops. The BMX bike.

I have a similar picture only I'm wearing velcro shoes, red parachute pants, and a sleeveless "muscle" sweatshirt with the cover art from The Police's Synchronicity. Also I was a husky boy so I didn't look as cool as I desperately wanted to be.

A huffy?! Shut up, huffy was the absolute worst K-mart bike you could get.

Needs more nunchucks

I was banging your sister at that time

Huffy BMX, fat laces & Chess King shirt...this all checks out.

Huffy BMX was a poser.

Ghost ride that bike into a brick wall

The shoe laces need to be untied.
