Well, I don't know if there's actual "Freestyle" clothing - but what type of clothes did you wear to the ole Freestyle clubs back in the day? Z.Cavaricci's (why they're only women's jeans now, I'll never understand), B.U.M. Equipment? Kamikaze? What else?

zodiac shoes and white keds! end of discussion!!!!

Oh, everybody had the white keds.. Remember? They were so comfortable.. I actually looked for a pair a few years ago when I just wanted shoes to slip into.. I forget what Zodiac shoes looked like, though! :o

zodiacs wher those pointy phukers with the metal tips..lol...cammaaaahhn -faaaahgedddabowdit...u know your a guido when---u got an Iroc z with some keds for chillin n zodiacs for the clubs, lol...guilty as a hooker in vegas!

Okay, I remember them.. And yes, of course, I had an Iroc, a Formula and a Trans Am.. And I had all the Cadillacs and Rivieras and all that good stuff too. :p Deer Park Avenue. :D

u did dpa? i did the pike n franny lou

I did a little bit of the Pike myself.. So did my father before I was born? :p But nobody owns a road like I do... www.deerparkavenue.com

cavariccis, keds, adidas, leather jackets. what were these other bagy pants called? not skidz....the other type. they came in different colors. lots of turtlenecks, too! cardigan sweaters........gold chains.....lots of em!

dpa and pike were my only homes.

I loved the cardigan sweaters.. Are the pants you're talking about called Parachute Pants?

oh yea, the sunrise mall in massapequa! merry go round, chess king.

i think they were called something else. the parachute pants came out in the early 80's. I owned a pair. they were like plastic! (remember beverly hills cop when eddie murphy was laughin at the couple walking by? those were them)

i think they were called "body builder pants". but im sure there was a more legit name.

Oh, those! With all the wierd designs and stuff. They were comfortable too.. I had a few pairs of them.. Chess King! Yeah, that was a cool store.. I never shopped in Merry Go Round, though.. Not sure why.. I guess Chess King had everything I needed...

New York must have been so happy when kids started dressing with this type of clothing.. It gave way to Grunge... Why? Heh...

yea, chess king and sids pants had it on lock, merry-go-round was more for Japs, and i dont mean orientals..lol

(my residency) Zachary's, uncle sams, spit, club california, Malibu..wow-lemme hit the breaks on memory lane and pull the fuck out b4 i run into some chic with high teased hair!!!

sin city/ucatan liquor stand, machines, (what was the one in the nassau mall parking lot? i cant remember the name!) rave hairspray, gel. busy bee flea market (we went there to hang after the mall got old)

the mile high hair on the ladies was the best. i would so anything to see that style come back. :(

Gold necklaces with the nameplates, with your name punched in, and a playboy or playgirl bunny stamped in the corner.

lmao

Oh wow!! I was too young to go clubin back when Freestyle came out but boy do I remember the styles!!! LMAOOOOOOOOOO!! The gold, the hair, the clothes!! LMAOOOOOOOOOOOO!! I even had my hair cut like Lisa Lisa!!

The hair stands high, the jewelry hangs low.. Remember the Guido Rap? :p

JERKY BOYS!!!, LOL..I remember listening to their first underground tape @ tri county with like 50 others with the trunk open and the system blastin the pranks, then 3 cop cars pulled up and listened with us, some funnyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy shieeeeeeeet

Oh, yeah. They were funny.. Tri County - that's the ole Turnpike. :p

Now I KNOW some of you guys have pictures with you wearing these old clothes.. Come on.. Post 'em up.. I had a fire and lost all my old pictures...

I can remember sneaking into 1018 to see TKA... OMG what a night!!! Or catching Safire at Studio 54... running into George Lamond at the Palladium... you just can't do that anymore!

I used to have my hair cut like Lisa Lisa.. still got my nameplate.. (LOL Chuck!!) and the name buckle.

tri county was the shit back in the day. hanging out, cruising the pike then parking behind or in front of tri county, scoping all the girls out.

Hey Kenny, I think the baggie pants were california hardware or something like that. Dont forget the drakkar cologne.

drakkar!!! how can i forgot that? I used to buy that by the gallon! I even used the drakkar deodarant. it was 10 times better than any deodarant on the martket. cost $10 but it was worth it.

other unforgettible colones were polo, gucci and obsessession.


hey, you know who would know about the baggies? Wayne! that guy still has all his cavariccis hanging in his closet, all wrapped up and ready to go. he figures if platforms and bellbottoms could make a comeback, so would 'riccis!

drakkar!!!!!!!!!!!

One way love on the back of his trunk. Ha ha, don't forget the roller rink. Those were the days. Like Sal said, "hair stands high, jewlery hangs low, wearing all the makeup looking like a sideshow."

the USA ROLLER RINK!


The fun we used to have in that place! it was cool for those of us that were too young to get into the 18 and over clubs.

remember ELONS right down the road? I used to see 16 year olds from the high school in there!

The rink was like the minor leagues for us. Its where we practiced all our moves, then we graduated to the pike, franny lou, dpa and 86th st. Don't forget the capizzios and champion sweatshirts with turtle necks . Elans, blast from the past. saw naughty by nature there, the place was mobbed.

Well, that description did it.. I remember him. Not personally, just his car...

This topic got totally hijacked...

Since we're on the cruising topic - I first started out on DPA in a huge green Ford Bronco (I was a passenger). Then I got a 1970 Chevy Nova, beige - until I painted it flat black.. Next up (that anyone might remember) would be a Ferrari-yellow Chevy Camaro with Daytono turbo hood, Ferrari-like doors, big spoiler, ground effects - but I only drove that for a short time before I sold it to some blonde kid (just making sure everyone knows that wasn't me - he was goofy). I had a white 1988 Pontiac Formula with limo tinted windows and a BIG white "gangsta bitch" on the back. My ex drove that car.. The only car I actually have a picture of cruising up there with was in the late 90s, unfortunately..

The only cars I actually have pictures of (that I cruised up there with) are:

Corvette (http://www.80sxchange.com/myvette/vette.html), Cadillac Eldorado Touring Coupe (http://www.80sxchange.com/caddy.htm), Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham (http://www.80sxchange.com/caddy2/caddy2.html)

hey, I see that wayne signed up. lets give him a warm, freestyle welcome! his screen name is ITALIANKNIGHT88!

He might not come to this thread.. I wish people would do introduction threads! That would make it easy...

hey, sal..i know a lil off topic, but do u know anyone in my area that works on vettes that is a good guy?..i usually goto vette doctors, but im tired of their ego's

HOLY Crap! Their egos are unreal! Well.. Do you know much about cars? I mean, if a mechanic is telling you what needs to be done, do you know if he's BSing you or not? Because there IS one shop that does Excellent work but if you don't "know" about cars, they can rip you off..

Corvettes Unlimited
266 Route 109
West Babylon, New York

Which one, Kenny?

Which one, Kenny?

the yellow camaro.= with the daytona hood.

I have pictures somewhere. I'll have to scan them one day - if and when I find them. :)

nice....I would love to see it!

I don't know if any on you guys remember Laces in New Hyde Park, I remember the guidos rockin' the satin jackets with the title of their favorite freestyle song embroidered on the back or the 8 Ball jackets, or even the 3/4 leathers tied around the waist. I could never do the keds though, but I did rock the Sergio Tachini.

I just wear Adidas but i dont go to clubs.

I did the keds. they got dirty fast. I used to buy a pair of leather keds every month. they cost me $30 a pop but they were worth it. they never lasted very long.

I never got into the sergio techinni stuff. I had a jacket that I remember my sisterss' ex gave me that he stole from Machines one night. they didnt have a coatcheck so kids were just throwing thier jackets into a pile and I remeber him grabbing whatever he wanted, just like he was a kid in a candy store!

That was the good thing about keds, they were only 30 bucks. You could buy 2 or 3 pairs at a time.
