The long awaited return of the classic Skyway Street Beat is here!! Well at least it is in Australia and the UK…..for now. Yep I was just browsing the internet and stumbled upon info that the Street Beat was available but I couldn’t find it on any US bike shop websites. This frame has been wanted by a lot of Skyway BMX fans since they brought back the T/A. You know the first thing I did when I found out about the release was goto PlanetBMX.com to see if they had it but no luck. I also didn’t see them on the Skyway FB and IG pages…That’s strange?!?! Maybe they’re waiting till more are available before an official US release?? If somebody knows what’s going on, please share it in the comments.
Hopefully the Street Beat frame kits will be available in the states some time this year. The only two places I saw the kits at was Old School BMX in Australia and Alan’s BMX in the UK
Press Release:
It all started back in1963 in Van Nuys, California, when Skyway’s founder, Chuck Raudman started a machine shop for the fast-growing aerospace industry. The growth of the company saw Skyway produce many products for Disneyland and also venture into the motorcycle industry. Then in 1974, focus shifted to the new sport of BMX and the Tuff wheel became reality and cemented Skyway into the BMX annals of history forever!
The 1985 Street Beat was Skyway’s first complete BMX freestyle bike and broke new ground in innovation, strength and style. Now, 39 years later, the Street Beat is back with the new 2024 version of the iconic frame kit ready to reintroduce itself as a modern version of the classic original. Featuring Full Chromoly frame, fork, and handlebar with Skyway embossed seat, these kits are ready to add a set of genuine Skyway tuff wheels and make the bike of your dreams!
