kingdomCome: It wasn't until the 90`s that BMX bikes even had small shocks on the front forks. The very first "mountain bikes" were just modified cruisers, originally called "clunkers". Those 80`s clunkers wouldn`t be able to handle a course like this either, their frames just wouldn`t be able to handle the stress.

They aren't riding the type of BMX bikes available when I was a kid in the 80`s. Ours had no shocks, much smaller wheels, no multiple gears and much weaker brakes.
If someone tried that course using an 80`s BMX bike they`d kill themselves.
