It was the early 1980's and BMX Action was at the height of its popularity. Hutch was the premium standard in BMX technology. Ask yourself, what kid didn't want to be on the BMX Action Trick Team or at least see them show up at the local shop?
When R.L. Osborn and Mike Buff weren't out in California jumping over Porsches, eatin' tacos or testing the latest bmx gear the were doing stunt shows. At the end of the show they would throw out stickers to the crowd, yep like the one above.

Oury Grip Vintage BMX Sticker
In the very early days of BMX you had to have Oury grips on your bike, because back then it was about being just like a motocrosser. These grips were soft, they came in a bunch of colors and had that MX feel and look. One problem, they were made for motocross motorcycles and that meant that one grip was too big for your bars. Why? You had no throttle!
The fix was this; your parents had money...buy two sets and use the two left grips. No extra cash, like me, then you get some duct tape and tape the right handlebar till the grip fit. I still remember the Oury Grip t-shirt that I had, it made me Mr. Motocross!
