Supercross BMX recently released the Hi Tech 40 year anniversary BMX racing frame on their website. Hi Tech was the first BMX brand Bill Ryan and his crew started way back in the early 80’s and now it’s back!! The super limited edition retro BMX racing frame comes in chrome with blue vintage pixel style decals and also black with green decals. Not only is it available a 20″ frame, it’s also available as a 26″ in frame.
Press Release:
Before there was Supercross BMX, there was a little known company, Hi-Tech. It was the dream of a BMX kid that was 13 years old and his buddies. We convinced VDC to build 25 pcs for us.
Well now, 40 years later, we are doing a reunion of types. We built up 40-20″ Pro XXL Frame Kits , 40- 26″ Pro XL cruisers -and Thats it!
If you didn’t get one of them in 1981/1982, here is your chance. There are only 40 of them! 40 year anniversary, 40 pcs – and they are gone!
Full Seamless Reynolds 753, 553 and 4130 Cro-mo. TIG welded, ready to race, ready to ride! Â
Each model is serialized up to 40, as we’re only releasing 40 of each size. And from your serial number, you can tell what number yours is.
All frames will have the Hi Tech Decals. Which the 1981 Models never had as we could never afford to do a full production run on the decals, so we made one-off Hand Cut Single Color Decals. These frames have professionally printed 3 color decals on 3m Moto Material for vibrant color and durability.
Available sizes are Pro XXL ( 21.75″ TT ) and the 26″ Pro XL Cruiser ( 22.75″ TT )

The High Tech frames were my first venture into actually making bikes, if you look in the High Tech listings, you will see the Prototype frame I made in 1980 at 12 years old. This was the summer of 7th grade I believe. I loved that prototype, but it was heavy, and pretty rough, a few of my friends in junior high were trying to convince me to start a frame company, and a good friend of mine Randy Rizzlo introduced me to Voris Dixon.
At the time I was working after school on occasion at SE , and was watching what was going on over there, and tried talking to Scot about building some bikes for me as he said no. So I spoke to Voris and decided to start up my own frame company, High Tech, as you can see it shares a lot of the features of the original prototype but is way more refined.
I built a total of 2 batches of 25 pcs with Voris, there was the Long and the Short. Most were chrome, they all had a built in seat post clamp ( which broke off ) and have built in cable guides.
After I showed up at the track with one all built and BMX Plus! put it in the Hot Products section, Scot offered me a spot on SE’s co-factory team, gave me a quad and offered me more hours at SE.
So High Tech was shelved. If you notice, the Pro Neck National Pro is my frame without the cable guides and seat post clamp and with the strange tube gusset. Voris said he needed to keep production going and if I wasn’t going to buy frames anymore that he would change it up a little and sell it to Scurto.
